In many areas, cell service has only slow data connections for my phone. In such areas, maps are slow due to connect and download speeds.
Could an application be created to:
1. Take a location fix from GPS & store it
2. Alternatively, allow copy/paste or manual entry of a GPS location
3. Display a directional pointer on the screen, showing the direction of the location & its distance from the present location
without having to establish a data connection?

I believe Mappero does work offline. Also you might wanna take a look at Advanced Geocaching Tool as well as GPXView

They don't and in IMO it is a distinct lack in the n900 GPS progs (ie. functions similar to those standard on hiking handheld GPS receivers.

Advanced Geocaching Tool:
GPS view - shows the distance and direction to the selected geocache.

That's pretty close to what I was thinking of.
But it's not adapted to quickly establishing present location for saving, &/or saving one or more "targets" for future location, like where you left your car, bike, boat, or the blue easter egg.

Quick reply...
Probably, ModRana will have it added, it's easier than offline routing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For now, continuing with simple coding example.
Installed Nokia Qt SDK in order to get MADDE with Qt 4.7 and PR1.3.
Compiled qdialgps version 0.0.1.
Interface works, thanks to QML.
But, signal emitted by QML seems to be not heard by C++ program.

This version shows azimuth from your last known position to point (0;0).
It's updates itself with timer.
As the changes are most likely negligible, you will hardly be able to check it by eyes.
If you start from X Terminal (/opt/usr/bin/qdialgps), you can see its output.
It says:
No such signal QGeoPositionInfoSourceMaemo...
So it's hardly possible to update upon position change; timer is most likely the way to go, though it's most likely resource eater.
There is also now distance in meters.
