An important feature to add would be the ability to import maps. I have been able to get a very good map of my area from a government agency, but was unable till now to import it to maemo mapper. I mean.. i did important, but aligning it is impossible. The only way I can imagine of being able to align a map would be to go to a place with a gps receiver, and pointing on the map where you are.. then drive some 50 miles, opening the same map, and pointing once again where you are located. The application would then calculate the scale and align the map accordingly. Resizing may not really be a requirement as the application would know what scale the map is using and calculate using that scale. The current fixed increments are too restrictive. The way it works right now makes importing large scale maps from alternative sources virtually impossible.
