Thanks for the quick reply :-) So, if a I follow you, tango GPS and Maemo Mapper have the same exact goal (in terms of features). They only differ by their adaptation to their respective hardware ?
I'm thinking about building a localisation-based feature both on OpenMoko and Maemo but with an high priority on Maemo. I have the following options : - Develop with Maemo Mapper then, later, port Maemo Mapper to OpenMoko - Develop with Maemo Mapper then, later, port my feature to TangoGPS - Port TangoGPS to Maemo then develop my feature in Tango GPS - Any other Open Source GPS application in the field ? However, I'm pleased to hear that porting is quite straightforward. I have no idea about compatibility between OpenMoko and Maemo apps. Thanks for the good job !
