martinK: I have been using modrana a lot over the past few weeks, and I have a few suggestions for what would make it perfect in my opinion at least.
Add a view option to rotate map to heading (instead of being always north-up).
Add customizeable callout distances. E.g. I might want a callout at 50 yards, one at 500 and one at 2000 but other people might want them in different places.
Have eSpeak say the number of yards that triggers it, not the actual number of yards. For instance, if a callout is at 300 yards and eSpeak is triggered at 297.4 yards, have eSpeak say 300 anyway.
Aesthetic thing: Split numbers at the two digit mark, so for example 422 is read "four twenty-two" instead of "four hunderd and twenty-two".
Hardware acceleration.
Smooth zooming (i.e.just scale up the already loaded tiles and then replace them with higher resolution ones when they are loaded).
Determine point reached distance based on speed (so the radius at 60 mph is three times that at 20 mph).
I don't know whether this is possible: Load the traffic layer from Google Maps?\
Are any of these currently in the works? I would be glad to help if you would like.
