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].
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.

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.

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).

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.
