I do know that for angstrom builds, all of the map building functionality is left out via the bitbake recipe, so that isn't a unique need for maemo.
My main concern with the debian package path is ensuring that future changes will roll forward easily, so that it won't require a full rewrite every time roadmap versions bump. You probably have much more experience (and expertise) with this type of thing than I do though. >> . Can I help? >> > > Yes. Especially if you know libosso and/or d-bus.

From using your 1.1.0e package, my guess is that you are looking to handle the GPS on/off (it tries on program start, but seems to fail early, although I was able to get one fix). I'll pull the source down and review what I have seen on GPS control in the maemo environment. If there is any specific functionality that should be handled first, let me know. >> Also, if you are not on the roadmap listserv, could you consider joining? >> > > maybe. > > It doesn't have a lot of traffic (probably less than 5 messages per day on average). Particularly if any changes are moved upstream, it would nice to be able to discuss them with the maintainer on that list.
