I am so glad to hear that someone is continuing the development of the Mapper program (PS Need a better name than this).
Can you give us an idea of what you are planning to work on?
Is there a change log of differences between the "developer" and the current "extras" version?

(see the HEADs at the bottom of the page)
Now I'm planning to improve the routing interface a bit, after which I'll start working on the user interface, making some dialogs usable again.
Then I plan to add portrait mode support, plugin support (for example, flickr and google latitude), and many other things :-)

Do you know of any good forum post or other documentation on the following:
How to define the areas downloaded for off line maps.
Tracking frequency - time or distance traveled.

It is based on v2.6, but to ease the porting I removed all the APRS stuff.
The SQLite databases were removed so that we can share the maps with Maep, eCoach and other map applications.

Baby steps I suppose but hopefully mardy will keep plugging away.
I need a decent source for satellite imagery. Google's addy is just not reliable and Yandex doesn't drill down far enough, at least here in the States. Images of Mother Russia though are quite detailed.
Being able to reliably add repositories like Virtual Earth from the device is on my wish list.
BTW mardy, a source of frequent encouragement is another useful benefit of maintaining a forum thread...

@YoDude: it should be quite easy to add VirtualEarth maps support, just a matter of using the right URL for the tiles. I'll add it soon, and let you know.

I hope the APRS stuff could get re-added at some point. It was nice having it on my N800.

@buxz777: voice navigation could already work, but the flite binary is missing. It should be quite easy to write a shell script that wraps the eSpeak package, instead.
I'll work on that, but not very soon.
@TA-t3: it's not in my TODO list, but if someone wants to contribute code, I won't stop him. :-)
@YoDude: I just added VirtualEarth maps. To get them:
- click on the title bar
- Maps
- Manage repositories...
- Sync
- click on the title bar
- Maps
- Virtual Earth
There are also satellite and hybrid tile sources, but I didn't enabled them or the map menu would become just too huge. But the tile sources are there, in case you want to create a new repository which uses them.
I'll work on that, but not very soon.

Hybrid works fine and dandy. VE Hybrid zooms down to 2 in most areas in the states and is reliable. Thanks...
A very useful tool now. I'll start reporting bugs on the tracker now as I will use more often... but please stay active in this thread.
Thanks again!
BTW, there is a way to disconnect the volume control when the zoom functions are mapped to the volume keys. I'll try to find where I read it for you. It is pro'ly not something you would want to mess with until voice navigation is ironed out, if that is a priority..
