Hi Alessio, 
  Yes, Locations will automatically download maps from Open Street Maps. 
IF the backend found that it can access to the network. 

Therefore, you can create your own personal map, (even package for
sharing). 

How? 
1. Let Neo connect to the Internet. 
2. Turn on Locations, 
3. Zoom in to the location you are interested and drag around.
4. login to Neo
5. follows the instruction of
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Om2008.8_Locations#Create_Offline_Maps

Last time I and some colleagues went to KenTin http://www.ktnp.gov.tw/ 
for holidays, we just create a map before departure, it's very
interesting. 

If you are geek enough, you can even create maps using Google Maps, Yahoo
Maps, ... for personal usage. (Please don't share non-share-able maps.)

Cheers, 
Tick
