Hello navit community.

This idea was brought up at the openmoko mailinglists.
I just wanted to ask you guys if this makes sense to you before we proceed.

So far this is only a brain fart of me, but if it is worthwhile I would
try to push this in the openmoko community.

Would it help if the openmoko community sponsors a freerunner to someone
who can optimise navit for this device?
Navit is by far the most promising and most important app for openmoko,
but unfortunately it is very slow and not perfectly prepared to the whole
situations.
For example I believe it still uses the gpsd emulation instead of the
gypsy api and so on...

The whole thread is there (Best graphics performance?)

PS: Please kepp both lists in CC ;-)
