Hi Neil, Making osmdroid a library would be fantastic and we'll definitely use it. At the moment our codebase has diverged from osmdroid so Steve is trying to merge the changes in. We've also made some fixes to osmdroid that you may want - we've definitely fixed bug 40 from your list plus a lot of little changes. Our code is at: https://code.launchpad.net/opensatnav Please don't hesitate to ask if you need help with it.
I had a quick look at MySpeed and it looks like a great idea. Is there a link for the source somewhere? In particular I'd like to know how you detected if the user has gone off the route as I'm not very happy about our code in this area. Thanks for the email, and I hope we keep in touch.
