My point is that right now I prefer Mapper because of the quality and size of the maps.

Anyway, my suggestion: I like to use the 'Auto-update' checkbox when I >Download a route. However, it would be better (less CPU, less data, less distraction) if it only updated when you were off course. It would be nice if how far off course before update could be configurable too.

It is a little annoying that every few seconds my route is being 'recalculated' because the status dialog overlaps the turn directions.

Did I miss something or is there a way to only update my route only when I am off course?
Maemo Mapper should only update your route when you're off course, but of course, the judgement of "off course" is left to the application. I made a guess that figures when you're off course, but I guess in your case, the guess is too conservative. I'll consider making the sensitivity an option, but these things are hard to make configurable without confusing the average user.
