That's really good for an 0.1 version! It is indeed small and fast. I like it! Now if we just had GPRS working so as to download maps on the go...

Sometimes you want to explore the map; other times you want to see where you are continuously, without having to interact with it at all. If you drag the map too far, it should automatically toggle into the off state, so you can explore the map without interference; then you just have to toggle it back on again to jump instantly back to the current position. I also notice a smearing effect that is probably caused by rapidly repainting the same tile during dragging (the tile gets painted into its new position, but the previous position was not erased, nor covered up by another tile, so you see the edges of it, still there). It is distracting and takes a second to be repainted correctly again after the dragging stops. But I'm impressed that the dragging itself is otherwise so smooth. _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
