Hi everybody,

I'm the BCC'ed person, and the project mentioned is NaviPOWM.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/navipowm

As you can see, right now I'm uploadind the source and setting up the
project infrastructure. The first release of NaviPOWM is planned for the
next days (depending, on how much time I can spare for it). As soon as
version 0.1.0 is released, I will drop a notice on talk, talk-de and dev.

Why this project? It's quite simple ;-) I was thinking of starting a
project making a "world map" called POWM (Project Open World Map), when
I found OSM. Because some of the work in my "project" was already done
(collecting data and saving it in a database, display collected data on
the PDA and so on) I thought it would be more usefull to port existing
applications (well, parts of them) to cope with OSM data. One of the
ported applications is NaviPOWM. Because the original NaviPOWM software
was developed for Windows Mobile only, the porting consisted basically
in making it platform independant and moving the design and used data
towards the structures used by OSM.

As I mentioned before, I'm in the middle of preparing and testing
version 0.1.0

Attached a brief description of what NaviPOWM provides at the moment and
the planned milestones.

Greetings,
Julian
