Hi everyone, yesterday I finally was able to try the new version so here are my impressions:
*First the installation I had one small issue, when I tried to install it, a message appeared that I already had it installed so what I did was uninstall the version that I already had and install the new one, with this everything worked without trouble.
*Landscape vs portrait mode: As everyone knows the n9 most of the apps come in portrait mode so I was really happy to see that with this new version was supported so the first thing that I wanted to see is how it worked, so I open the app and the default display comes in landscape and took me a while make it to change to portrait, minor thing but it can be a improvement for the next release.
*GUI: It was nice to see some larger icons which are easier to click while you're driving the only but is when you program a route and have two turns one after another the two arrows take much space in the display (in portrait mode) and kind of overlap with the car so it makes a little bit confusing following the road.
* Response: On the n9 I think is a little bit slow, you click on any button and it takes some time to respond back and display the object that you pressed.
*Overall: I think this is a great improvement from the previous version and I'm very grateful to damagedspline for this port and for the time invested. And I don't know how difficult could be to opensource his work so others can help him and keep improving his development.

Hope this helps and once again, thanks for the hard work.
