I think you misunderstand. I understand that Garmin et al protect their
maps. I mean that it should be possible to generate our own public
domain map. There needs to be a mapping project. Someone with some GIS
knowledge needs to set up a database whereby we can all note the GPS
coordinates of all our streets and landmarks and everything that anyone
would care about and put it into a database which can be used to
generate maps.
