It would have a slider for the wattage, a checkbox for checking GPS for location and getting the maximum wataage permited by local legislation, a number box for how often check the location, a checkbox for always using the maximum power allowed for the region, a map location picker that is avaiable when not using GPS for choosing location (if you pickt he middle of the ocean where no legislation about maximum power allowed is present, you can use the transmitter up to the maximum power the hardware canhandle)

Ovi Maps should have a map downloader built in
Posted on 2010-06-08 10:32 UTC by Philip Trickett. Status: Waiting, Categories: Location & Navigation.
Given that alot of N900 owners use Linux on their desktop computer as well, and that trying to pre-load maps is difficult without a windows or Mac PC, the download map functionality should be built into the Ovi Maps software.
The Ovi Maps application should have functionality similar to Nokia Map Loader in the settings of the program which allows the following:
Downloading of maps by region
Selection of storage device for downloaded maps
Ability to check for map updates
Ability to erase maps by region

Alarm-Application that can trigger on geo-location
Posted on 2010-05-12 12:17 UTC by Philipp Tölke. Status: Waiting, Categories: Location & Navigation.
Hi everyone,
I would very much like to have an application that can monitor my position and warn me, if I get near one specific point.
My use-case is, that I regularily forget to go to the ATM or whatever and would like to have my N900 remind me when I come near.
Is there such an application already?
Cheers,
Philipp

Location based reminders
Posted on 2010-04-09 05:21 UTC by Reto Bachmann. Status: Waiting, Categories: Location & Navigation, Utilities, User Experience.
I would like to bind alarms/reminders to a geo location rather than (just) to a time. I should be able to have a set of spots I visit regularly and be able to set an alarm that goes off the next time I'm near a selected spot. Also I should be able to set an alarm that goes off the next time I'm back at the curent location.
Usage scenarios:
- Remind me to buy a tooth brush next time at the supermarket
- Remind me to take my bicycle when I'm back here

Use the FM receiver as a TMC receiver together with Ovi Maps
Posted on 2010-03-03 13:15 UTC by Zoltan Orosz. Status: Waiting, Categories: Location & Navigation.
I think it would absolutely awesome if one could combine the FM receiver with Ovi Maps, so the navigation app could use the traffic information available on FM frequencies when planning routes. As the N900 has both an FM receiver and a GPS, i think this could improve the navigation experience quite much. More info on TMC here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_Message_Channel
