-
* Show current position using GPS
+
===Using CloudGPS===
-
* Display satellite information in a way that does not take much of screen estate
+
-
* Display current speed, altitude, battery percentage
+
-
* Rotate the map using built-in compass (N950/N9 only)
+
-
* Multitouch map zooming and rotation (N950/N9 only)
+
-
* Support for numerous maps by default:
+
-
** OpenStreetMap I
+
-
** OpenStreetMap II
+
-
** OpenCycleMap
+
-
** Google Maps
+
-
** Google Satellite
+
-
** Google Hybrid
+
-

+
-
* 2D and 3D map view
+
-
* Experimental 3D buildings (using CloudMade)

===Battery drainage===
+
When search bar is active keys are used as text input. Only ASCII characters supported right now. Use Enter to search query.
-
CloudGPS can cause your battery to drain very quickly. It can utilise all the power hungry elements of your smartphone at the same time (like GPS, GPU and WiFi).
+
Tap on any map marker on screen to get it center.
-
When CloudGPS is not the active application it will limit the frames produced to make the overall device performance acceptable. Currently it will not turn off GPS when you turn off screen.
