The added delay is due to accessing the database, which leads to your second question....

That way it wouldn't matter too much if the closest one is way too zoomed in for most repositories, since those could just uncheck it.
Quick question for everyone... I've been looking into expanding the zoom levels so you can zoom in closer. I can do it pretty easily, but I have to change the way zoom levels are named. I have to add 4 to all of the zoom levels, so that you can zoom from level 0 to level 20. This will invalidate all your current repositories (since the zoom levels won't match up anymore). You'll have to re-download your maps again, in other words. Is anyone opposed to this?
I should have done this before I released v2.0 (since everyone had to re-download their repositories anyway), but maybe it's soon enough thereafter to impose this small request on you early-adopters?

It seems like it tries to read the icons from the path stored in _poi_db_dirname and then a subdir called poi/ and then the filename, so I grepped trought the source to see if maybe _poi_db_dirname would be something unexpected.
You can use your own icons, but there is no user interface for it. You just have to put a .jpg file (can be a PNG, but it needs to have the .jpg extension) in the same directory as the POI database, and with the same name as the category for which you want to use a different icon.
My C is not too hot, and my gtk is even worse, but I can't find the place where the _poi_db_dirname variable is set in the source. The only code I can find seem to be for changing it after changing it in the settings dialog, but nothing that sets it initially. And sure enough, if I changed the poi db to something else in the settings, and then changed it back to the old value, the icons suddenly work, since that variable is then set properly. But when I restart the program it doesn't go trought the settings dialog, and thus the variable is unset again, and icons stop working.
This should help you fix the problem

Sorry if this has been asked before, but is there an IT2008 version in the works? It would be a great companion to the built-in map application for geo-caching...

I really look forward to increased zoom levels, happy to start again with downloaded maps etc.
I look forward to being able to switch between rotation and non-rotation of the maps easily. At the moment I seem to have the common problem with MM 2.0 of not being able to manually rotate clockwise, anti-clockwise, reset or switch off such that North is UP. In fact I don't understand how to control it because it does not work for me? Does "MM 2.0" only rotate and follow GPS direction when GPS is connected and when not connected to GPS it points map in relation to the last direction where GPS was heading?
(This is my experience)
In addition/relation to the POI icon, don't know if I mentioned this idea before but I thought it would be nice to switch the direction heading line which appears to increase in length "dependent" on speed of travel; to a walking, driving, flying icon if it was possible?

This is a minor bugfix release of Maemo Mapper, fixing many of the bugs that were revealed upon initial release of Maemo Mapper v2.0
Unfortunately, this version renders previously created repositories unusable. You maps will still be there, readable by Maemo Mapper, but due to the enhanced zoom capabilities, Maemo Mapper will not interpret the zoom numbers correctly, so things will look funny. You must delete your existing map repository databases. I apologize for this inconvenience. Some 800 of you downloaded v2.0 in its first 36 hours of release. I'm pretty sure that's a Maemo Mapper record. I hope you're not all mad at me.
Full Changelog:
* Expanded the available zoom levels by four additional zoom steps. This
change invalidates previous map databases, so you will have to discard
your previous map data.
* Fixed crash that occurred during rapid map auto-download.
* Tightened up the POI Edit dialog to show more of the POI description.
* Added "Edit Categories..." buttons in a few more places.
* Fixed all of the formerly useless View menu items. (closes #1598, #1604)
* Fixed bug in parsing East-of-the-meridian longitudes.
* Fixed bug in "Along Route" radio button.
* Fixed bug with repeated internet connection attempts.
* Fixed bug in update of POI List after Delete from Edit POI dialog.
(closes #1599)
* Fixed crash when adding a new POI from the context menu.
* Added confirmation of overwriting query when selecting a category from the
drop down box in the "Download POI" dialog.
* Fixed crash with invalid address in the "Go to | Address" action.
* Fixed initialization of the POI icon directory name.

A few points about rotation, hopefully to clarify some of the questions....
The default button mappings for the D-Pad have changed to focus on rotation instead of panning. If you are upgrading from v1.4.x, your old settings will remain as they were (pan-centric), because I don't like blasting away people's preferences. The new defaults (in case you want to change them to the new defaults) of the D-Pad are as follows:
Left: Rotate Counter-clockwise
Right: Rotate Clockwise
Up: Reset View (North points Up)
Down: Toggle Auto-Rotate
The center button is unchanged (default is "Toggle Auto-Center").
The old mappings (i.e. if you upgraded and didn't change them) map to "Pan North", "Pan South", etc. Which, if you're rotated, can be a little confusing. If you like to keep panning with your D-Pad, you might want to change them to "Pan Up", "Pan Down", etc.
Auto-Rotate only works with a GPS connection and when Auto-Center is enabled. (I didn't think it made much sense to auto-rotate if you're not centered on your location.)
