Coming soon. Actually, this shouldn't be too hard - I can use the same technique I use to parse Google Maps directions. The problem is making suitable use of the data. (It's easy to search for "gas stations near 25.6, -79.0", but do you really want all "about 2,403" results?)

Auto-Center is most useful in conjunction with a GPS receiver, but if you don't have one, here's what you can do... Find your house and tap-and-hold on its location on the map. A context menu will appear. Select the "Location" submenu, then select the "Set as GPS Location" menu item. A gray dot should appear.

You have just informed Maemo Mapper that you want to treat that location as your current GPS location. You can now use that location to download routes from that location, and Auto-Center will now center on that point.
