Well seems there's very little interest in the subject. So I guess I'll just tamper with the files alone. If anyone is interested, I've uploaded a zip file with the images just changed to blue from green. Nothing special yet, but I do plan to change some of the icons to give it a better look and feel. Included are some screenshots.
To install, just copy the new images over. I did it through WinSCP. Make sure you make backups before changing anything.

Thanks mate. Yea, it seems your right, most people are using sygic, which is a tonne better. I'll probably still persist with modding Maps though. It doesn't seem so bad for those quick directions once in a while, plus its free :P

How did you get Maps to look white and blue?
And so are your hacks aiming to make the visual experience better or what is your ultimate goal?
I'd like to see Ovi Maps used to run Google Maps with Maemo Geolocation and stuff. Kind of use the functinoality of Maps but re-work it to be a little zippier and bug-free.
Well, a bloke can dream, right? It's not like I could contribute in code or anything else... :P

Can you include instructions in your Zip file?
Also can you include the mod'd js file for the orientation fix? I never got that patch stuff to work from the "spins" thread, and it was my thread!
Ohh, and your Blue theme looks a Ton better BTW!

I've uploaded what I hope is a version of the nokia.maps.js that will allow it to always stay North, but only when the red marker is moving on a route. I didn't want to set it always North incase you wanted to rotate the map later on for any reason. I sadly can't test it properly since its past 1am here and walking around the home didn't change the GPS position. I'll try have a better test tomorrow. If you want to try play around with the file, the section you need to fiddle with is this (with the section i added in bold, just 0*)
Code:
{if(typeof aPosition.orientation=="string"){orientation=this._ROTATIONS[aPosition.orientation]}else{orientation=0*(aPosition.orientation+360)%360}

but sygic doesnt work mate not for me anyway juddery arrow and 80m away from where i actually am, i have tried everything
Just read one of them threads, and you'll know exactly what to change...the above settings are from top of my head, hence its you should find the correct settings.
Good Luck!
I have so far kinda changed the colours of maps to blue to fit in with my theme
Just wondering what else can he hack in it? Maybe make a full theme? I did notice while snooping around that there is a few items relating to S60 devices, maybe we can even take S60 code and transfer it here?
What do you think guys?
Included are some pictures
Edit: Ohhhh Remember you can screw up the Maps application if your not careful. Make backups etc etc
