I already posted this in the ITT Developers Forum, but I think this forum gets more eyeballs. I would like to hear anyone's ideas of this. Even if it's only to say "it's not feasible near term with your skill set". Or, "don't double post your threads". I can take it.

I would love to be able to use a basic GIS app on my n800. I've used Maemo Mapper a lot. Obviously, it is an amazing app and probably one of the best developed for Maemo. But I really would like to have the ability to overlay shp files onto the maps. To me this is what would make the difference between a really great mapping app (Maemo Mapper) and a true GIS.

Quantum GIS is a free open-source GIS app, with source code available here. This is the program I would like to cross compile for Maemo via Scratch Box.

Some other users have remarked on this.

I have no experience using scratch box, cross compiling, software development, or any other relevant skills. But I would like to learn. Can someone with some experience give me an idea of how feasible it would be to cross compile Qgis and how difficult it might be?

I appreciate any feed back or info.

Thanks.
