Mapper I've been working on rewriting the GPS information widgets using cairo, and the result is quite nice. Below a screen shot of the satellite positions widget.
I'm also rewriting the compass widget to use cairo and adding some new features to it and preparing a simple Compass app for the N900.
Mapper 1.0.6.8 was uploaded to extras-devel just before midsummer, changelog below:
- Hide building POIs from the map
- Load and cache a larger amount of POIs
- Fixes to POI icons paths as locations of some icons in the osm icon pack has changed
- Parse and display turn information from cloudmade routes
- Minor bug fixes
Unfortunately the quick fix to start panning after some movement, that worked just fine on the desktop, broke the map panning on tablets. A fixed version (1.0.6.9) will be uploaded after some testing.
You might have already noticed the tiny Twitter logo in the right ? Anyway, if not, Mapper is now on Twitter. Follow us now to get the latest information about mapper development and releases.
Mapper 1.0.6.7 is out for both Fremantle and Diablo, fixing an silly installation bug leading to no icon showing up the application lists. Sorry about the delay, Vappu took all my time last weekend.
Available in extras-devel! Enjoy. Diablo build will follow soon.
