Crikey. Apparently, they were making a map for Nokia. http://nationalnewsofindiadaily.blogspot.com/2008/12/two-detained-in-gujarat-after-survey.html No statements from that telecommunication giant, or much in the way of comment from the company they worked for (Biond Software).

[OSM-talk] GPS banned in Egypt
Hi, probably not news to most of you but until recently I had assumed that only a few outlandish places like China and Saudi Arabia had banned GPSes; now I read that Egypt - hitherto regarded by Y.T. as an at least halfway civil place - has had a GPS ban in place for 5 years now: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/dec/09/egypt-iphone-mobile-gps Bye Frederik -- Frederik Ramm ## eMail frede...@remote.org ## N49°00'09" E008°23'33" ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
