Gourmet, I hope I didn't give the impression that I actually ported the application to Maemo. I merely optimized the existing port that is posted at http://www.elisanet.fi/tapio.tolvanen/nokia770.html, from which I based my port. I'm not saying this to disown the faults that you listed (I agree with most of them), but to make it perfectly clear that I'm not trying to take credit for the port. Credit is due to the author of the page above.

The modifications that I am planning to make are for my own purposes only. Hopefully, some of the additions can be pushed back to the gpsdrive community, but I [em]am[/em] planning and removing much of the existing functionality, and I certainly won't be pushing that back.

My goal is merely a lighter-weight, more efficient gpsdrive with added functionality that I need in order to make gpsdrive usable for me.
