I've been hacking on the code this evening and it's a bunch better already. I changed the telemetry service to send one giant message full of the entire state rather than individual messages with separate bits of state and that seems to have resolved the map contents issue. I'll see if I can't get those changes pushed to our repository before I head for bed. > I'm willing to start hacking away on the application. I suspect the > most asked for feature is offline maps.

We've already got a pile of map downloading code that we use in the desktop application; one option would be to re-purpose that for Android as it already works nicely. > One feature I'd like to add is a compass view to the rocket with > indicator of bearing and distance.
