I've been working on Trafikanten for Maemo and have released an alpha version for the N900 into extras-devel today. So for you daredevils who are not afraid of the devel repository; please give it a try

Please do not enable the extras-devel repository if you are not aware about the risks you are taking by enabling it. It might damage your device and cause data loss.

That being said, the Trafikanten app has the following features:
  • Travel - specify two stops, date and time, and it will find the shortest travel for you (no advanced settings yet)
  • Realtime - search for a stop and get realtime info about the vehicles from this stop (no advanced info like direction etc. yet)
  • GPS - uses GSM or GPS to determine your position and returns the stops closest to you
  • Recent - lists your 20 latest searches
  • Favorites - store the searches you use most often for easy access
  • Rotation support - sometimes buggy, although I'm not sure if it is my or Qt's fault. It works most of the time and is neat when you are on the move.

Future plans:
  • Remove dependency on Qt Mobility for GPS positioning (requirement to move to extras-testing).
  • Move to extras-testing.
  • Bugfixes and minor feature additions.
  • Call it a beta version
  • More bugfixes
  • Move it up to Extras
  • Call it a final version
  • After the first version finally goes into Extras, I might start working on features like advanced travel searches if there is any need for that.

Please feel free to take it for a ride and report back any problems you get in this thread or in the issue tracker. And if you have any feature requests, just let me know and I'll see if I can implement them in a later version. I've decided to do a feature freeze for now unless it is minor changes, but later on I'll give other stuff a go as well.

The application is licensed as GNU GPLv3 and the source code is hosted at http://github.com/dragly/trafikanten-maemo. It is written in Qt and C++. I'm all open to patches if anyone else wants to implement new features
