http://www.wefi.com/ seems to be along that lines, the software they are
using seems to be windows only at the moment though :(.  But maybe somebody
could write and open source one that still has access to the Google Wifi
Mappage that works with the Neos GPS.

Wow. Nice idea, but very closed. No developer API that I could find,
proprietary closed-source app only, essentially you give them data and
they keep it.

It would be relatively easy to develop a much more open service along
the same lines - GIS database backend, an open protocol for apps to
submit updates and request information, and a frontend using Google
Maps as well. Wouldn't even be a hugely involved mashup, at that. :)

I would do it myself, but from what I hear, the AGPS chip in the Neo
isn't even going to work on NZ's cellular network. Pity. :/
