Yes, it does. > > The directory /root/Maps seems to find some consensus between Qtopia and > > Debian concerning > > the location of OpenStreetMap data that was downloaded for offline reuse. > > I'd prefer to > > use /var/cache/osm, instead.

It is user data and should be below ~, but there are many programs that access OSM tiles (like tangoGPS, Viking, Rana, pylgrim, Yaouh!). They should all access the same directory instead of creating their own cache. > > How can I quit using tangoGPS without using the Unix shell to kill it? > > ALT-F4 or CTRL-Q or > > Q don't seem to work and I don't want to use the keyboard either, really. > > Am I right in > > that there is a quit-button or menu-entry missing? There is no menu entry. I quit tangoGPS either by clicking "x" in the title bar or by pressing CTRL+C in the terminal where I launched it. I could ask the author for adding a quit button in the config section. > > When tracking for OpenStreetMap (while playing Mokomaze), how can I > > reasonably > > user-friendly prevent the freephone to go to sleep (darken the screen)? Darkening of the screen should not be blocked. I was tracking for multiple days without possibilities to recharge the battery. Darkening of the screen was helpful.

My handheld GPS receivers are better (also > > tracking more > > satellites, though). Do you observe something similar? I observe the same (2-3 km/h while standing still). Thought that would be the normal accuracy of common GPS receivers. Maybe the accelerometers could be used to find out when you are standing still. I did not try the hardware GPS fix or an external antenna.
