Hi Michael, > > I started working on the Debian packaging of GT -- the app looks great!
Thanks, I just miss a bit the speed and snappyness of original QLandkarte. It's gone due to the changes in the render unit. But the changes allow other things like overlay, DEM and dynamic scaling. And (!) low memory footprint. We tried it on a eeepc 1000. It works reasonable if the maps (Garmin) are not too detailed. > > I'm really glad that you switched to CMake.

What do you think? Lol :), honestly: I don't care. Do what ever you think your users will recognize and remember. I personally would try to start qlandkarte-gt from commandline if I install qlandkarte-gt package. And I doubt you will ever have a QLandkarte M package. This is exclusively for mobile devices - a completly different league. Thanks for packaging.
