That wasn't addressed in today's presentation. Since they are using the Mapquest engine, it looks like the United States will be the first release, then they are working on the U.K., from there, nothing was said. I would think they'd be looking at providing access in the countries where their

The map data is from Navteq, the same as the APH Android app, but Mike may mentioned the Mapquest engine as what they are based on, so I suspect they are not simply trusting the Mapquest system to get them from point a to point b, but I'm not a programmer, so asking Sendero Group for more details
