Excellent work!

Really great work, MB! I put version 0.5 through it's paces on a 10km hike through South Mountain here in Phoenix yesterday, and it works awesome. It helped me several times navigate through the jumbled pour-offs where I had no idea of where the trail was. I was amazed when I realized Google Maps doesn't support caching, and have been looking for a program like this for months.

Here's a few suggestions, and you are probabably already working on many of them:

-Field-enterable waypoints, preferably with an icon selection, via either coordinate input or stylus. We go on these crazy canyon hikes in Utah. Many times, there is only one water source per day. The ranger at the station will tell us or give coordinates of where known water holes are. But this is long after we have left our computers at home, and just have the mobile. That is why it needs to be enterable from the mobile, not the desktop. And other times, we come across other hikers, who point to a known location. That is why it would be nice to use a stylus. Of course, some water sources are constant, while others are intermittent. So being able to choose icons would be nice.

-Trace a GPX route with the stylus. Again using the above example, the ranger will trace a finger along a map indicating a route to follow, for various reasons. It would be good to use the stylus to retrace his route.

-In v0.5, I was able to have multiple GPX routes displayed at once. My five minutes of putsing with 0.6 doesn't seam to display more than one.

-When I began the hike, my battery was full. At the end, I had 16% left. I was running at the end, because I really wanted to trace this route, and didn't want to loose all 3 hours of data if the battery went dead. I think something else is draining it, not this program, but it does bring up a good point. Could you make it so that it is constantly saving the data, or saving it at intervals, so if any one of the many things that can happen, does happen, all will not be lost?

-Speaking of battery performance, here's another. It was really hard to see the screen in the Arizona sun, so I cranked up the screen brightness to max. I don't know if you can access the system this deep, but it would be nice if there could be a soft key that, when pressed, boosts the brightness to max. When you let go, it goes back to normal.

-It would be nice if when you select an old gpx file, it could show you the same stats as when the file is in progress, like that sweet altitude graph, that rocks!

-This would probably be tricky, but it would be really cool if when you could select drag two points along a route, and it could give you stats on it (again like that middle stat screen.

-One last thing, as I was toggling between the map screen and the stat screen, I was always fearful that I was going to hit the 'stop track' button. maybe it could be relocated?

Again, awesome program! BTW, I am running Windows 7 with Calkakin's WM 6.5.1, and it works flawlessly.

-It would also be nice if it could pause a route (having lunch), continue a route (camp for the night, and shutting the device off to save power), and merging two routes (stopped to dayhike up to some ruins, then continued on the main hike).
