I had the wrong "default settings" so it is not a very good experience starting for the first time - version 0.0.2 will fix that.
p.s. I wouldn't take all your money - that just wouldn't be nice of me!!!
But just in case this is a link to make donations using paypal

That is very strange .... is the "parabolic icon" checked? You may have disabled the "GPS" by clicking on the "manual position".
If that is not the case make sure to check your current position using some other application - I can't quite see how the GPS would report a different position to two different applications.
Keep us posted... this is "interesting"

If anybody wants to come up with a new (complete) set of icons and is willing to "donate it" I will change the code to support multiple skins.

With Qt5 I should be able to use WebKit2 for the application as well).

On the navigation: first of all be careful! While I was testing the application I almost got into an accident. I don't think it is good/ready enough for navigation while driving. Google maps license prevent me from really making it into a turn-by-turn navigation. The best I could do "within the lines" is make the "center button" try to automatically select the step you are in but you have to press it every time

Aaaa - Wow.
Fantastic integration with nokia maps. Hopefully, I'm going to test it in a couple of days, so thanks.

I have maps for my vacation destinations where I research all I need and put it in a personal Map... though normally I would use nokia maps cause of offline mode for vacations.

Brilliant app!
One request - could we have an arrow indicating direction instead of a red pin - it is very useful to know which direction you are facing so you walk in the right direction

Hi, I remember that while I am using PR1.2, it will launch Nokia Drive but now after upgrade to PR1.3, it launches Nokia Map instead.

I am just using the "public qml api" and there are no settings that I can change... It is a little odd that the time the GPS takes to fix the position would be affected by what application is requesting it but I am not expert...
