Before this, can you put a small REAME on what all will be required ? If OSM is improved, it would be mightily useful. While I am skeptical about the time: 20 hour and it's feasibility but willing to give it a shot. Tell me what to do. We have mechanism to upload GPS co-ordinates in real time to a server so this should not be a worry. What else is needed. Maybe you need not come down here if you can remotely assist in the exercise. -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
