Tile Creation

Running tilecreator in scratchbox does not work on the armel target (Qt programs loading .jpg files via QImage/QImageReader segfault in scratchbox). Therefore tiles cannot be created from srtm.jpg, which leads to a segfault on the device when activating maps using srtm data on the N900. As a workaround, the data files (which are architecture independent) can be copied from a different build.

Storage directories

Maemo devices have uncommon partition layouts and sizes. In particular, space on / is quite limited, /home and /opt have more and /home/user/MyDocs plenty. For this reason we install marble in /opt/marble and use /home/user/MyDocs/.local/share/marble to store cached data.

-Creating maps before they are shown for the first time does not work on Maemo. Currently this leads to a crash at the first start, when the Atlas map is trying to be created. A workaround is described in the [[/MaemoEnvironment|development environment page]]. See also [https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=233153 bug 233153].

-=== Font Sizes ===
-Fonts in the control widgets are too big, fonts in the map too small.
-=== Control Box ===
-A stripped down version of the control box would help. The tabs itself take more than half of its space.
-* Unify search input field and routing fields
-* Float items in the map instead of navigation controls. The navigation float item handles this to some way, but the icons should be even larger for touch input.
-=== Menu ===
-The main menu is currently stripped down and provides only basic actions. Other useful actions need to be added or replacement actions be implemented (e.g. plugin selection).
