I'll keep this off Extras until we get caching questions sorted out with the data provider. Before that, you can grab a copy from http://github.com/bergie/buscatcher

One feature request: it would be nice to have a marker (red dot, cross or something like that) visible for the current location. The location is of course in the middle of the map, but when I scroll the map it becomes less obvious and it gets difficult to see where I am standing related to the moving busses...

The automatic centering of the map to the current location is bit too aggressive to my taste. If you want just see how's the situation in other part of the city and scroll the map, the application takes you to the current location almost immediately. This makes the map scrolling quite frustrating.
