Osm2go also runs under Freemantle:


There were several things missing. Goocanvas wasn't an issue and was quickly compiled and packaged for freemantle. But two of the old closed source packages are missing: gpsbt and tablet-browser-interface. Are there already documents explaining what do use as a replacement?

Also the new screen layout will require some changes in osm2go's ui. E.g. the toolbar spacing got bigger and the toolbar on the left can't hold all the icons anymore (that's why there's this "expander" on the bottom). Also most dialogs have to be adjusted to cope with the buttons being on the right side. That's in fact a design decision i don't fully understand. The idea may be that with the wide screen placing the buttons on the side leaves a more "square" area for the application to work with. By imho the problem is that those buttons eat up space horizontally (since their text labels are horizontal). This leaves a big unused area above such an button. The application cannot use this area and i am afraid we loose too much screen space by this new layout. I don't like it ...

For most dialogs this shouldn't be too much of a problem and makeing them look nice in the new layout is probably just a matter of some "#ifdef FREMANTLE" adjustments.
