[OSM-dev] [Fwd: Project idea for openstreetmap in Google SOC 2008]

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

    I haven't fully understood the proposal but the author writes:

With OpenStreetMap, the only thing that is costly about a static map  
in the mobile device is the storage space. So it sounds to me that  
this idea is trying to "work around" the non-existence of free maps;  
since our aim is providing free maps, the idea sounds a bit  
incompatible to OSM, or at least unnecessary?

Bye
Frederik
