Marble/MaemoTODO
Tile Creation
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 development environment page. See also 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).
Storage directories
Maemo devices have uncommon partition layouts and sizes. In particular, space on / is quite limited, /home has more and /home/user/MyDocs plenty. Cached data could be written to /home/user/MyDocs/marble. See also XDG Base Directory Specification, Bug 230714 and this patch. When using /home/user/MyDocs, it would be nice to find a way that prevents the Maemo built-in photo application stop indexing downloaded tiles.
GPS support
