Hi,

First, Gnuite, thanks for developing Mapper! I have been using it for a few days now when cruising in southern Finland and it works just great! Also I just upgraded to 1.1 and no problems there either. I use Nokia LD-3W for GPS.

Of course there are a few things I´m missing ;-)

1) Is there a way to download and save POI data? It would be great if I could download for example certain gas stations, stores and hotels in selected countries. I belive many of these companies provide their POI data in their websites, so it should be possible to save this for Mapper?


2) It would be great if I could create some fixed locations like home, work, etc... And before downloading a route, I could browse for fixed locations to be used as origin or destination.


3) Also it would be good if all the other POI locations downloaded (gas stations, hotels, etc. mentioned in the first chapter...) could be used as fixed locations.


4) I´m not sure how the lenght of the velocity vector is calculated. But it would be great if it would present the estimated distance travelled in next 30 seconds (or mayby configurable time for each zoom level?) with current speed.



These are just my ideas after using Mapper for a few days as an incar navigation system. See pics.

I also miss some other features but they have already been listed in the Mapper Garage site.

I think Mapper definitely already is quite usable. Of course there are some nice features more expensive and focused TomTom offers but this is a very good start. Keep up the good work!
