GPS research project topic

[Schmidt András]

Hi,

I am developing a map viewer application called Yama. It is planned to 
work on the Neo. You can see it working on http://yamamap.org/ with a 
piece of map from http://openstreetmap.org/.

It is written in Java so it is very easy to prototype on PC. If you 
write software that requires showing locations on a map we could work 
together. If you specify how you could use a map viewer we culd create 
an interface so you can use it as a plugin or you can plug into it.

Geert Schuring is working on location sharing through 
network:http://projects.openmoko.org/projects/visualgps/

I (as Yama's developer) am willing to cooperate with their project.

You could check these projects and think about how you could use them.

Best Regards
Schmidt András
