For whoever is interested, I have put online my working branch where I'm 
integrating the 
OsmGpsMap widget here :

http://www.outrightsolutions.nl/~sander/foxtrotgps/ogm-widget/

Currently I have migrated GPS updates and the map popup menu, so it is runnable 
and gives 
an idea of how it'll become. The rest of the functionality is not yet in a 
working state, 
so expect no POIs, photos, friends etc.

Some things I noticed :

It seems the tiles-queued signal is only triggered when downloading tiles 
'on-demand', 
i.e. when dragging the map around. There are no events triggered when doing an 
explicit 
map download.

Also I triggered a 'bug', where I had a huge bbox en a high zoom level (I 
accidently used 
the old global_zoom variable instead of the internal zoom variable) when 
starting a map 
download. It ate all my memory. This normally shouldn't happen, because the app 
will use a 
sane zoom level w.r.t. the bounding box, but maybe some sort of sanity check in 
OGM is a 
good idea.

Third issue is that old foxtrotgps also renders a 'bearing' arrow that points 
to the set 
waypoint, and a distance indicator. AFAICS this is not supported by OGM. 
Personally I 
don't care much about the waypoint functionality, but others might find it 
useful. What do 
you think?

grtz,
Sander
