Hello,<br><br>i follow the deployment of the Neo1973 and Openmoko since they become<br>public.<br><br>I have discussed with a few others on the IRC, about the Idea to use<br>tomtom on the Neo1973. I think it will be very cool :) I had no problem
<br>to pay money for a good software and rich in detail maps. It is hard<br>work to create good maps (see <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org">http://www.openstreetmap.org</a>).</blockquote><div><br>Therefore I would like to support

<br>Openstreetmap should not be replaced, and it should be easy to update openstreetmap. We could make some nice UI for that. But people have different needs; and for those that need detailed maps and can afford it, maybe tomtom is better.
