the Google maps website does list a linux version, but it lists a pentium
class processor as a system requirement, I wonder if we could get google to
do a custom compile onto our hardware, seems like their style

Unfortunately it seems we cannot.
Google maps API's terms of service allow you to use it in a website and
not in a
standalone non-Web application (FAQ clearly says that)
And Google Earth requires the client to be installed on the machine that
you use.
So both ways are not valid :(

The only doable thing I can think now is a client to compile information
for the openstreetsmap project :(
This license is against all the applications that I wanted to implement

Bye and thanks,
Alessandro
