* New map download functionalities: download by route and download by area.
* Waypoint announcement (including voice synthesis)
* Integration with the GPX Driving Directions web service (including on-the-fly, auto-updating "from my current location" directions generation).
* Support for manually enabling/disabling the GPS Receiver connection.
* Support for GPS Exchange (GPX) format.

I am currently testing all of the new changes and hope to have the official release of Maemo Mapper 0.1 by Wednseday.
Does the voice synthesis thing mean like the application will tell you turn left in 300 feet or turn right on the next street light as you go for your waypoints? That would be a very cool feature that the expensive GPS Devices like Magellen and TomTom and stuff have.
