I think that implementing this the Neo FreeRunner will be the first
"phone for mappers" (I'm referring to OpenStreetMap). Georeferred voice
notes could be a coolest feature in a completely open phone to produce
completely open maps.

Actually, the audio mapping[1] is supported by the main OSM editor,
JOSM[2], and is the smartest way to collect streets names for bikers.

An important note: it is not necessary for a mapper to have the
recordings georeferred with latitude and longitude, the audio metadata
could contain simply the time catched by GPS, and in this way the file
will be georeferred on a GPX.

In both the cases, again, after TangoGPS (with OSM support) this could
be the big step to create a phone for mappers.

Good work :)
