Propose to let user configure the point where the actual position is shown.
For biking, trecking it would be useful to program the actual point to e.g. 25% of screen hight (y-axis) -
then you see more in the distance you are moving and less where you come from. Think this is only useful
in map turning mode (which i prefere in hiking).
Could be a settings configuration allowing a percentage input (50% as preset like today) which i could set
according my usecase. For non turing maps (fixed north orientation) this would be more difficult: you could
use the direction information and change the actual point according;  but i doubt if this is very useful as then
when you change direction the map would move...  So my proposal is to just go for the turning map situation.

Great app - just found it some days ago.
What would be a great additoin for me is the possibility to use vector OSM maps.
Like in: http://downloads.cloudmade.com/
These .img files contain the vectored data and are verry small in size. These format is
widely used and can also be used by Garmin GPS devices. There is an Android app
available which is using similar converted vector data "Map Droyd"; but uses proprietary format
and does not have lots of features (no tracking...). Also not seen an updat for long time.
Not sure how difficult an renderer for vectored map data would be to impement.
Used in my Windows CE times (befor i went to Android) an app "Glopus" which was
supporting both pixel data as well as vectored data.
