What I would really like now is an automatic way to get the fake gps info that I now have on my Sprint phone (Google maps figures out where you are by locating phone towers, I guess) into Maemo Mapper. Then I wouldn't need my gps device at all, it seems to me. (I guess I'd still need it on a cruise ship, where phone towers must be far away?)
GeoClue integration is the ideal method here (it can be used by other clients, and can have many location services feeding it), but how you'd tell the user that the cursor is not the exact position I don't know (perhaps don't bother, just place the cursor in the centre of the rough location for a first step).
