Hi wdehoog
the map will display only if a GPS position is received? On the otherhand if you do everything out of the box and include Samplemap then the default start location is such that the German map will show (forget which city)

I will be tinkering with the Makefile soon to remove the need for postinst script hacks to place .desktop and .service in correct directory. Initially I couldn't do this because the automake in Scratchbox was picking an old version that didn't support if/else in Makefile.am files. doing 'export SBOX_DEFAULT_AUTOMAKE=1.9' before running 'autogen.sh' fixes that problem.
