Nice addition, but I think there is room for improvement.

1) The stability issues mentioned earlier
2) Would be nice to see speed, heading, altitude, and satellite acquisition.
3) I think BB Maps has a "Screen Saver Off" feature that would be nice.

When I turned it on this morning I had my GPS puck lying on my bed. It picked up the satellites instantly through the window. Switched to satellite view and zoomed in and the dot was actually on the correct spot on my house (MBR on right side in back). Also, it starts up and acquires satellites very fast.
