[...] If you need to change your route, or anything more complicated than panning or zooming, then please pull over the car or get a passenger to help you. I do not want Maemo Mapper to be responsible for causing car accidents.

PS: Hardware buttons are (in my humble opinion) rather comfortable way to zoom. I don't have any problems with them.

I don't touch my TomTom navigator while driving. I mostly simply listen to Jane or Chiara, and in very rare cases I take a quick glance at the screen. I prefer to stay alive..

On my N800, it's easy to toggle between autocenter lead, autocenter lat/lon, and autocenter off using the center button of the d-pad. If I pan the map, a quick press of the button restores the autocenter setting I had. I don't know if the N810 has something similar, but you should be able to map that to some button. My D-pad is set up with up/down being zoom/unzoom, right/left being rotate the map, and the center button being the autocenter toggle. The home/menu/return button can also be mapped as desired.

There are GPS units available that won't even let you make any adjustments if they sense the car is in motion. The liability issue is real. That said, the ability to get into the menus while in full-screen mode would be useful, instead of having to exit that, do what you want, and then re-enable full-screen mode.

gnuite,
The waypoint announcement fontsize remains on default even if I set xx-large in settings. Help says that all info windows incl. announcements are affected by the fontsize setting. I'm using the default theme on N810 with MM 2.4.1.
Earlier versions had adjustable announcement fonts and made reading them easier.

Maemo Mapper is supposed to hide the download progress bar if you're not connected, but maybe it's not working all the time. I've tried to reproduce your problem, but I haven't run into it yet.
