Well, i like tangoGPS very much. But it is hardly a comprehensive solution. First it's only a tile viewer for online maps. No routing, no offline maps. (no, caching tiles for the world is not a solution) And if gpsd is so great, ever wondered why tangoGPS has a button to restart and reconnect gpsd? And why i (gta01 user) have to launch gllin via tangoGPS? tangoGPS and OM2007.2 is hardly a comprehensive solution either. (Yes, it's called being polemic and it is the essence of all good discusions) I too think the OM2007.2 stack is great. And i like to stick with it, at least until ASU matured much much more. And here a sack full of my 2 cents: gypsy - yes gpsd - no (at least not as it is, maybe as compat interface) gsmd - no fso - yes eds - yes efl - yes Illume - maybe OM2007.2 apps - yes Qtopia - no -- Drucken Sie diese Mail bitte nur auf Recyclingpapier aus.
