hi,
I have a custom map built with osmarender and a nokia E71. I want to know:
1. can i upload this map to the E71 and use it for navigation? It is in svg
format. Or do I need to make it in some other format.
2. how about the osm map itself - what is the best way to get it into the E71
and use
Hi,
Is anyone on the list able to recommend a specialist lawyer familiar with the
various licensing arrangements of the different map providers?
Would be grateful for any suggestions,
Thanks, Dan

Well, maxspeed:mph would also work for your purposes. The only

I added the conversion table to maxspeed, as I do a lot of maxspeed tagging
in my area. I read the maxspeed definition as needing a numeric value in
km/h. While km/h doesn't mean a lot to me, I does to whatever app I use to

Voting is optional. We could do with a lot less if you ask me. If more

Next to it one or several:
