READ before making a feature request

Be sure your requested feature can be useful to a great number (not only to you). Unfortunately we cannot spend time on features that will benefit to only few users and will make the application more complicated for all others...
Do not ask a feature "Because other application X or Y have it". We do not add features because other applications have them. We add add features when they are useful. So please simply explain in which way your feature would be useful.

Main suggested features that should not be added

Allow to change the color and icon for a complete placemark file (by hamish here): placemark files are only containers and cannot be styled, but bulk styling of items is possible.
Ability to disable map levels from display (by marcv here): it's possible to manually edit or create a new configuration file with only the zoom levels needed.
Ability to post tracks on the web (Google+, Facebook, ...) (by vsevel here): you can already export track details as text or image and share them where needed.
Add ability to display Strava segments on the map (by micgre here): Strava has its own services and application that shall be used if needed.
Dropbox support for storing/retrieving landmarks (by andreazamboni here and Eagle724 here): you can open landmarks in the application from the official Dropbox app, and export them easily. You can also setup automatic backup of some folders using various applications.
Ability to turn on/off phone flash light from AlpineQuest: can be easily done using widgets, or custom buttons from within the application.
Ability to add a shift to the geolocation (by Wulfenia here): shifts in positioning are either due to a temporary inaccuracy of the GPS (and so disappear by themselves) or by a poorly calibrated map (and so map calibration must be corrected).

A great thank to all users for their feedbacks!
