I love the concept of having the direction arrow built in but I am having some problems with the implementation of the direction arrow.
I have an 810 and was using the internal gps. I had to fire up maemo mapper to get the gps working, it did not seem to start up just correctly with just gpxview. A number of satalites visible or locked would also be helpful.
Once it was working I shut down meamo mapper and started driving towards the cache. I all of sudden noticed that I was over 4000 miles away from the cache. I refired meamo mapper and then gpxview came back being just a couple of miles away.
I also noticed that the direction arrow bounced around a alot. I had to rely more on the distance reading and walk in circles to figure out which direction to go.
Overall I love the concept and can't wait for this to get better. I know this will take some time to fine tune. I am just offering my feedback to help with that process.
Keep up the great work!
