Simple yet the smoothest tile mapping application for the N900. Now with partial 3D and accelerometer support.
It is a complete rewrite of J2ME version to N900 using OpenGL ES for smooth operation.
It allows exploring "OpenStreetMap I" map (it shares tiles with Maep and possibly others) but future versions will allow other map sources. It can show / follow your current location. Planned features include searching and routing using CloudeMade services, portrait mode and more. This project aims to provide great user experience - no more lags or delays. This release easily works with over 50 frames per second on my N900. Future versions should be even more optimized than current one.
Your current location is shown as blue dot on screen. The dot turns green when GPS is fixed. The bars in upper right section of the screen show signal strenght of GPS satellites. They turn brighter for satellites that are currently active.
Touchscreen controls: Tap zoom in/zoom out buttons to change zoom level by 1. Hold shift while touching zoom buttons to change zoom level by a fraction. Tap "my location" button (the one with blue dot) to toggle following your current location. Rest of screen is used for kinetic scrolling.
Keyboard controls:
* Arrows - scroll/rotate the map,
* Dot - zoom out,
* Enter - zoom in,
* Space - toggle "follow me" mode,
* Q - quit application,
* G - [debug] toggle show grid,
* C - [debug] toggle show current latitude and longitude.
* When Shift is pressed zooming behaviour is altered.
* X - toggle accelerometer usage. Accelerometer is calibrated in the moment it is enabled.

this app needs an obvious way to save and manage a library of locations. [Rate: 5/10] |

It's fast and smooth. Needs some more attention from the developer and upgrades. I highly recommend it! [Rate: 8/10] |
