If you do change the name, maybe it might make sense to choose something altogether different. At least in the world of OSM, "to map" means collecting geodata and adding it to the database - a process in which your tool is not involved; it comes in after the act of mapping, and informs others and/or draws pictures that show what has been mapped! You say you have a new release coming up. I'd like to take the opportunity to announce that Jochen and I are working on a new and improved version of our OSM book which is scheduled to hit the shelves in March. If anyone has any major software release in store that will add significant features or change the way OSM works altogether :-) then please let us know so we can at least put in a heads-up for the readers, if not a preview of what's going to be. (Yes, we'll describe API 0.6 in the book and not 0.5, hoping that it won't take another year to finish. And no, the new license will get a passing mention only. And no, we don't have an English version of the book yet but we're still hoping to be able to do a translation based on the new, updated content.)
