Um, no. Not at this time. I really like roadmap. but in order to not
kill myself managing dependencies I have converted the source to GNU
automake tools.and removed  the map building programs. Also, d-bus
services are generally declared in main() and since roadmap and
roadgps share that function, significant changes to the source have
been and will be required for hildonization. My goal is to make a
hildonized roadmap client for maemo chinook. I do plan on converting
the unmodified source to GNU automake tools and building a debian
package.. If they want to upstream that big of a change, great!

Yes. Especially if you know libosso and/or d-bus. That's my hangup
right now. Everyhing else is going well. Next step azfter that is
state saving for preferences and hibernation.
