Thank you, Nic. So MioPocket can unlock some of these devices, then allow use of say Gosmore + OSM data? Can OSM be converted to the format used by these devices? Or must one jailbreak the device and install another application in order to use the OSM data? _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
