Hi there !

first thanks Gnuite for your great work with MaemoMapper !
i use it a lot of time. especially last week when i was touring in France.
it was so usefull to find some ways, some places, so easily...



here are some comments after using it (version is 1.4)

i will find more usable to have the GPS menu on the to of the menu.
why ? to simply switch the gps on/off with the keys (without having
a lot of press to do...)
all other menus are configurations menus. so enabling and disabling
gps is more important for me...

i just find that mapper some times take a long to start...
i wonder if it is because i don't have the sql 3.0 installed....

now some though :
is it usable to have horizon (like in plane) with mapper,
that can work like the north indication.... this is heading, but
perhaps usable for some people... when you drive, or flight...

is it possible to have some different colors for the speed
indication... for speed like when driving in cities, smal road, and
interstates....having differents colors will help knowing the speed
limits...
perhaps, having a small bip when whe are at upper speed
that the speed limit....

a simple question :
mapper and gps are surely precise...
they give position at 1 meter i think.
if the altitude so precise ?
and he speed indication ? is it also precise ?

another question :
because i have booth 770 and 800, i wonder if it is
possible to have the two tablets connected to one gps
receiver ?



i have get some problems :
when using mapper, with gps, (n800) by two times i was
low battery, then i managed simply connect the power cable to
my n800. mapper stops refreshing the maps, but displayed time
continues changing. buttons was not responding....

the first time i have locked screen/and buttons.

the second time i have done nothing special.



another problem, i was not moving, i was in full screen mode.
so, after idle, the n800 screen goes black. and after that,
it was not possible to turn it on again.
(still connected to gps)

third problem, i was thinking that i have downloaded a lot for maps for 7 to 0 level... but when i was zooming in the areas, sometimes a don't have access
to all level and get some big pixels...

fourth problem, when downloading areas, i must tap the screen or push
some button to do the screen not going idle. because of that, it
stops downloading :/ perhaps this is an explanation of the third problem;



without that, everything was great !
