Mapper

Mapper is a geographical mapping tool, that can be used to view maps, displaying your position with a GPS device, handle POIs, use OpenStreetMap data for geo information and can create and export GPX tracks. It runs on handhled devices like the Nokia Internet Tablets (770, N800 and N810) as well as on normal Linux desktops.

It downloads maps from map sites (OSM) and caches them localy. Maps can be panned and zoomed. With the help of a GPS devices it can be used for manual navigation (routing is coming soonish), with heading and course indicators. Street and POI information can be imported from OpenStreetMap planet files. With the help of this data the user can search for street and POIs. POIs are also displayed on the map. Also the current locations street name and place is displayed.

Repository changes

Hardware failures has now been fixed and parts of the repositories are back up. As I restores the git repository I made a change to the branches so that stable development is now on master, with unstable on a branch. So master should now be build directly. Also, future versions for Diablo and Fremantle are going into extras, I haven't decided yet on what to do with 770 versions.
Also a little problem crept up as the current maemo-mapper developer renamed his project to "Mapper" now.. gives me a little headache that.. sigh.
