Visit the maemo mapper web site, and contact a) the developer mailing list, if one exists, otherwise b) the main developer listed, say what you would like and what you offer. Such an offer (commonly called a "bounty") is not uncommon with open source software. Usually, but not always, the results are merged in with the publicly available version - you are paying for the development time and the "attention" of the developer to your requirements.
