Very basic route planning will be there in next version - it will allow to select route start and end and it will get directions from Google Maps or CloudMade and draw them. Full TSP (in other words routing with waypoints) will be there in one of next versions.
Support for sqllite tile storage is also comming (this summer). App menu (at least with few functions) is planned before end of current month.

Will it be able to share the sqlite tile storage with other apps (like modRana for example)?
an option to keep backlight on would be nice too, I want to do a comparison between different apps and also compare how the use of 3d hardware acc. affect battery useage.unfortunately i havent had very much free time to do it myself yet, has anyone else done some comparison on that?

A menu would be very useful. If you plan to add a full tsp do you check if the data satisfy the triangle inequality? My CS-teacher is asking me this all the time. I would like to see a full tsp with pickup and delivery, too.
In distant future I plan to start working on vector rendering and all-offline functionality using OSM data. Even then I would not be coding everything from scratch. There is for example a ready to use routing daemon for OSM called monav.

I do not know about any battery life comparisons done for different apps. I suspect that CloudGPS will be the most power hungry app in test like that. It is easy to see why: smooth transitions and animations are equal constant redrawing. For now this is exactly what I want - use full device potential to deliver smoothness even at the cost of battery life.

This app is great!!! I use it every day.
BTW. Can You do something with entering numbers in search?
Because now You have to press and hold blue arrow to enter number.

I was a longer trip with car, I used your app, and there is some practical advice (in preference order):
- Full offline mode (I preload the map tiles, but the app every half hour pop a connect window).
- Zoom (not map zoom), to see the letters. Maybe double pixel mode? N900 have good screen resolution, but in a moving car you can't read the label of cities or streets.
- Set contrast. In some map there isn't enough contrast, so you can't see the streets in a sunny summer day.
- Upside down portrait mode. (As I wrote before: because N900 charger's placement)
- If you set a marker as a target, you need an arrow, which is show the target's position if it isn't in screen.
- Permanent markers (or POIs). (To find those quick.)
I know these are many works, so I am patient, and if you share the source, I try to help you. May I get the current sources? I want to help you with implement some simple features, but the sources in the garage are 6 months old. (Or I can't found those...)
I like your app, it was very helpful the last some days, I will send you some donation today.

SDL 1.2 does not have full support for unicode, and SDL 1.3 does not work on N900. This is something I would like to be helped with - deliver national characters input with hw keyboard and SDL. Anyone willing to help?

Adjusting image without shaders would be pretty CPU intensive. I will consider adding contrast setup in future. For now there are more needed features like multiple layers support.
