When started the widget would get the GPS data and feed the users current location to a web service (provided by the public transport authorities of the city in which the user lives) which would then suggest a public transportation method to go home. (For example, I live in Helsinki and the site to get the traffic info is http://aikataulut.ytv.fi/reittiopas/en/ I am sure that all the major cities have similar web sites).
Well, why the widget and not just use the web service directly with the browser? Because sometimes you might not know where you are and also not be in a condition to write the two addresses...
On Symbian I have application which just grabs current GPS location and sends thats to mobile site, asking me if I want to use that as starting location. This works in web browser... but I can rant for 10 minutes about the shitty interface...
Anyway, you can have the data offline (but its question if its allowed to grab all data from databases? license it?) or online. In any case, they do differ a lot per country, or even public transport corporation. So you're gonna end up with a lot of parsers.

please add a 2G/3G switch widget discussed here
We really should have a brainstorm type page, one for widgets and one for apps. Then Everyone could vote for the most useful ones and the devs would know what to work on?

What I would really really like, is an maemo version of OSX's Nerdtool/Geektool. Its basically a transparent xterm that displays the output of a command/shellscript on the desktop. There should be an option to make it update at certain intervals.
I use Nerdtool on OSX to curl a webpage, collect the data that I need, make it readable and then output it on the desktop.
I dont think it would be that hard to make...

Can I echo the suggestion for a 'tide times' widget? Knowing whether it's a good moment to go walk on the nearest beach would be dead handy.
