Thanks for the quick reply :-)<br><br>So, if a I follow you, tango GPS and Maemo Mapper have the same exact goal (in terms of features). They only differ by their adaptation to their respective hardware ?<br><br>I'm thinking about building a localisation-based feature both on OpenMoko and Maemo but with an high priority on Maemo. I have the following options :<br>
<br>- Develop with Maemo Mapper then, later, port Maemo Mapper to OpenMoko<br>- Develop with Maemo Mapper then, later, port my feature to TangoGPS<br>- Port TangoGPS to Maemo then develop my feature in Tango GPS<br>- Any other Open Source GPS application in the field ?<br>
<br>However, I'm pleased to hear that porting is quite straightforward. I have no idea about compatibility between OpenMoko and Maemo apps.<br><br>Thanks for the good job !<br><br>Lionel<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">
