Code:
[Google Maps]
fileFormat=/home/user/MyDocs/.maps/Google Maps/%d/%d/%d.png
urlFormat=http://mt.google.com/vt?z=%d&x=%d&y=%0d
minZoom=0
maxZoom=20

[Google Satellite]
fileFormat=/home/user/MyDocs/.maps/Google Satellite/%d/%d/%d.png

minZoom=0
maxZoom=20
You propably should clear the Google tile cache frequently on your N900 to stay clean with its license. I'm afraid that other feautres (search and route) will be implemented in a way more tightly coupled with OSM and CloudMade. I will not be possible to add Google search to CloudGPS without heavy source code modification. Use at your own risk.
How do you toggle the Maps view and the Satellite View?

This seems to crash very quick with 1.3.

It is a VERY SMOOTH Crash though!
