I haven't tried this application yet because I'm not sure exactly how to emplement the installation. Recommendations on a step-by-step guide for newbs would be welcome. I've read about some interesting apps in development, but I've held back for concern of doing more harm than good to my N900, since I don't have much experience messing with programming. That said, I've read this entire thread and I'm excited at the prospect of having like-native-googlemaps. I look forward to trying it out once I'm confident how to install it without crashing my phone.
And that is a big YES from me too, regarding the previous request for logging into google maps and accessing My Maps. I've created a few maps on my laptop with placemarks for planning more efficient routes. It'd be really nice to be able to access My Maps with my N900.
One thing I've always wanted was integration of GPS with animated Weather Radar Loop graghics. Is there a practical way to integrate JRE Radar Loop graphics from NOAA into a translucent layer over the map? Or, if not an animated loop, just a translucent radar image layer that updates at regular intervals. Maybe it could be an option that one could toggle on/off?
As for Lattitude, I think it's a neat idea, but I would normally default to not really wanting to share where I am. I like hangin with friends but sometimes I'm just not into it. I can just imagine it now, "Hey WTH, man, you were just on my side of town and didn't even stop by." And imagine if our Moms had this technology. OMG, guilt x10. If this were available I would definitely want to be able set it as default=off with an option to turn it on.
