I am thinking about this for some time now. It's mainly a matter of time now as the number of maemo projects i am maintaining tends to grow ... There's still one big todo for the map which is "power consumption". There are still redraws happening which aren't neccessary and this has to be reduced to a minimum before.

And i agree, the idea behind the existig map widget may be nice, but the map actually being displayed is nothing more than three or four lines which is pretty useless ...
