Armin, could you have a look at the patches the guy responded with in that thread:
http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-dev...er/005718.html
and merge that if it makes sense?

It's really great to have sat images alongside the streetmaps, and gps data as well. Great work!

Darn, I really want my gpslim236 replacement soon! (Guess the other one's broken..? Sent it back.)
