anyway back to Topic.
the Dash is really an impressive gadget. Id like to have one or at least
see some process in implementing routing with openstreetmap vector data.
Integrated into the Dash, or separate apps like pyroute or navit?
I sought about integrated into Dash. This would solve the problem with
missing (expensive) maps. However, I am pretty sure that the Dash guys
need a little bit more voodoo than just the maps.
I first sought about the Dash and not the Freerunner as I personally
feel that pyroute and navit will need some time until they are ready for
the masses. So, right now I would vote for a commercial routing gadget
with decent (osm) maps.
The features like community driven traffic reports will even take some
more time.
But when this is the case, Freerunner is probably the ideal platform for
this kind of thing. As with a meshed wlan network the traffic
information could be easily shared.
Hope the screen is easy to read in bright sunlight during driving, though.
