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. -- Tracy R Reed http://copilotconsulting.com 1-877-MY-COPILOT -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
