Phew - scaled through the 38 pages to get here... .

I recently got an N800 and a Holux M-1000. Unfortunately the latter didn't arrive in time for my vacation, oh well. I'm loving MM, and have donated (modest amount - I plan to keep it coming as I continue to use it). I'm looking forward to needing to go somewhere new, just to use MM.

I have some observations:
  • Bug?: View->Zoom Level seems to be inverted. If I unselect it, I see zoom level indicators.
  • I want to delete maps from an area (where I went on vacation) - when I try to, it says "Downloading maps"... why is that? My N800 isn't connected right now, so it fails. I tried to delete a whole swath of area while connected, and it gave the impression it was trying to download everything, so I quit it.
  • I'd love to be able to configure a root directory for all repositories. For each repository I have to change the dir to send it to my SD card, rather than selecting the root directory once for all repositories. Problematic I suppose for when people want repos with different roots.
  • Enhancement req for map scale: when in miles, it'd be great if it switched to yards or feet for smaller levels. I have no idea what 0.05 of a mile is (though now I think about it, it's 1.6 * 50m, so 80m).
  • Enhancement req for route speech announcements: Precede them by a signal to get attention, and/or an "In <distance>: " message. e.g. "In 100 feet: turn left onto xxx". Also, how about pre-filtering the text to change "0.0" to "0 point 8", as it currently says "zero eight". While you're at it, filter "rd" to "road" etc..

Another thing - is it possible that Google blacklists people or am I paranoid? I simply downloaded satellite maps for a 20 mile route, and now I can't get any satellite maps from my home net connection, but I can from work. Could it be my home IP is blacklisted?

Since the Holux and N800 both have 5V chargers of similar amperage, I'm contemplating soldering on an additional Nokia tip to the Holux chargers (car and wall), to consolidate. Have to find a source of 2mm jack plugs.

Thank you so much for MM.
