That data is already available for sale from mobile network operators - that is
why you don't see much interest in having navigation devices provide feedback:
every mobile device is already providing ample sampling. Of course that doesn't
help the free world very much...
That is why what I'm thinking is the 'free' version ;)
A sort of agreed standard linked to the various OSM routing options?
Maarten - I can understand your reluctance on always on data, currently I do get
gaps in the mapping on the motorways here were there simply isn't any cover, but
moving forward I think that particular problem will eventually be fixed.
