IF (and only if) we have some sort of navigator map, there should be no problem. If we have some sort of route-tracking and the possiblity to save places, it would be even simpler: Just store everything as a graph, and Then use one of the many Graph-algorithms out there. I think a simple

As far as I have seen, we have a bit of a mess with the devlopers. Everybody makes everyting, and noone documents it. We should try to focus on modularisation: The gsmd team just gives us an api, the definition of the dbus and the xml config file. The SMS team just releases the information about

A path-tracking ability would be great in any case. Just as an example: the local alpinist group bought a device for several thousend euros to track all the footpathes nd have a nice map. Or the Energy firm here in italy is doing the same for the gas pipelines. But it could also help finding back
