two questions:
1. It seems maemo mapper does not work with a proxy server. This is a serious disadvantage, some ppl only see the web through a proxy(including me ofcourse). Maybe it could just respect the $http_proxy var?
Good idea - I'll look into it for the next version.

Everything so far? Probably around 200-300 hours, including making/managing releases. Much more if you include online tech support.

The first version took less than 40 hours (a lot of that was spent learning about NMEA and the mercator projection). The remaining hours have been spent making everyone else happy by adding feature requests.
