wow this is awesome! very fluid and smooth. brilliant! cant wait to see more of this. searching for locations is right on. cannot wait for route tracking to be added.
some testing feedback that ive not read in any of the posts thus far.
- when zoomed in moving around with your finger can quickly accelerate or be over responsive.
- loving the caching of google tiles! but when going through some of the open streetmaps it comes up with a 404 error and a long line of barely readable text.
- on start up and gps active and gathered a position, it should automatically center 'there' and track. instant bearings.
- when in 3D mode, the 'tracked position' or 'centre' should be in the lower 1/3rd of the screen, and not the center as it currently is. this gives you greater perspective of whats coming up. i dont think we need to see where we have been that much.
possible future options ?
- from determining the speed traveling it could change the zoom level to reflect what visibility you should have of where you are ?
- when route tracking is in, could also choose an address from a contact in contact list if they have an address loaded.

I am happy with having last used location and tapping "big blue dot" after I see that GPS has fix. Perhaps this will be configurable in future.

Version 0.5.5 uploaded to extras-devel.
This version is the one submitted to Meego Coding Competition 2011. This means that during competition there will be feature freeze. I had to rush hard to make it on time with this release so expect bugs in this version. Do you think it stands a chance in competition?
- Route calculation using CloudMade and Google Maps (press R to cycle): press and hold on map to invoke popup menu, select Directions from/to here. You can also tap and drag route start or end and route will be recalculated.
- Turn by turn instructions are displayed on locations near route (within 30 meters). Distance to next turn by turn direction is calculated as well as distance to route destination (this one is not accurate due to some bug).
- Route is rendered with rounded lines. Line thickness is calculated automatically based on current zoom level.
- Last calculated route is stored locally and reloaded (without using network) on next startup.
- Route overview flyby – camera will follow route from start to end. Press D to activate. Works best on high zoom levels (>=17)
- Off-line mode (press Z to toggle).
- Added UNICODE to ASCII conversion on every string returned from search and routing providers.

Daradzyn, I think this almost certainly deserves to win its catagory. You have my vote.

I think the 0.5.5 package is missing json as dependency.
BTW. I have uploaded preview video which will show how to use route setup and how route overview looks like: . It shows slightly older version with quite a few bugs visible even on the video. The version uploaded is better but still not bug free - distance to destination is not calculated correctly.

I am anxiously awaiting the fix for the dependancy problem. If there is another way to resolve it let me know. Thanks.

Just finished testing the flyover route feature - just awe inspiring. I congratulate you on what is already a brilliant effort! i'll bet I'm not the only one all-too-regularly checking back here, anxious to hear about the next build.
The only issue I'm experiencing relates to the CSSU I think - so i realize that it may not be a priority or even a possibility to amend at this stage. I've set it to force autorotation as certain applications require it for usable portrait mode. When i rotate cloudgps, it simply maintains a landscape layout so that what you see is the left half of the (landscape) map display and a blank space below it. Interestingly, the interface rotates perfectly as normal if i keep the keyboard open.
This could be related, as it happened after the rotation issue, but I also noticed that the long-press dialog box would no longer visibly show up beneath the applied finger - however, i think i noticed a corner of it at the edge of the screen, suggesting that it was showing up; just not where it was supposed to be.
thanks again for brilliant work.
