[FOSS-GPS] Re: FOSS-GPS Digest, Vol 6, Issue 3

[Chris Andrew]

Brian,

Thanks for your reply.  I wasn't aware of Roadmap.  Unfortunately, it
doesn't seem to mention which license it is published under.  As they
are just starting to use OSM data, i'm guessing that open-source
wasn't the first priority.

The other two I have looked at, and it doesn't seem like they are
aimed at embedded devices, although look like promising projects.

Thanks, again.

Chris.
