Too bad. It was so much faster, and sucked so much less CPU :-/

Too bad. The current replacement sucks massively and is a pain to use. I guess the old one was just not evil enough.

    Not bad... I can't find a way to turn on topographical data, though, which I'm a big fan of, as a bicyclist.

      Click "Map View", lower right corner, next to the + and - buttons.

        that doesn't show topographical data, seems to only show terrain, as far as i can tell, the areas in the mountains i hike often are not showing lines.
