TangoGPS font size for speed indicator

[Risto H. Kurppa]

As there are now many Tangogps patches that seem to struggle to get to
the official tangogps - would it be possible to collect them all on a
single (wiki?) page? Maybe even provide a new .ipk with these patches
- I for example don't have the skills to compile it again for some
patches..

Just to make the patches usable for as many as possible.
