By the way, if the patch allows arbitrary repositories to be used as layers (except maybe WMS-based ones), then it should also allow people to use the Google version of Virtual Earth's "Hybrid" maps. The reason Google's never worked was because they use multiple layers for their hybrid maps. To get Google's "road overlay" (aka "labels") layer (which should be drawn on top of Google's satellite layer) would use a repository URL format like this: http://mt.google.com/mt?v=w2t.999&x=%d&y=%d&zoom=%d Once the patch is incorporated, I'll add this URL format to the Maemo Mapper Repositories thread.
