yeah, 
I took a look at google's licenseing and API I'm not really a fan of their licenseing either. Nor do I like symbian's licenseing, that symbian-signed is just evil! I mean having to get a 17 capabilities certificate and private key file, sign the software you want to install and then install it? Oh but oops, there's an error because the date on your certificate is invalid. I got a command line program called makekeys.exe which I ran in a command prompt on my netbook under windows x home. It generated a .cer and .key file but I don't think they have any capabilities like disc admin and stuff needed to install Nuance Talks crack. So I had to go to a chinese site and follow someone's instructions to get  a dev-certificate with 17--capabilities so I could sign talks and install it in my nokia e51. I think when I get a new phone I'll get a nokia 6682 with Symbian OS8.1 which will allow the installation of unsigned software. Oh, by the way do you know anyone whho can write video system hooks? The blind people working on NVDA need someone who can write video system hooks for NVDA. These hooks override the GDI function calls and intercept applications messages before they get to the video card, first passing them to NVDA and building up anoff-screen-model so things such as mouse movement with the keyboard and the labeling of     graphics and icons can be accomplished.

  This might not be the most intelligent response but... How cool! All sorts of people conversing and processing our world, its senses and messages... I love technology, I love ideas, I love possibilities, communication and maps.... Now if Google would stop being so evil with their licensing

    Hello
    My name is Josh and I am a new list member. I am blind, use screen readers such asJaws by Freedom Scientific and NVDA from www.nvda-project.org . I joined thiss list because I use a free gps program for blind people called Loadstone gps. I was wondering if someone on this list could create a tool which would turn an open streetmap .osm file into a loadstone database file, or perhapsa loadstone points file such as those which can be obtained from the loadstone point share exchange website? 
    Also I got a small .osm file for my area and imported it into loadstone...yes there is a tool at www.rmpro-hosting.com/ls/ and www.loadstone-gps.com that will convert .osm files but the .osm files must be 2mb or less in size. I would like a tool that wiill convert a big osm file like the 130mb pennsylvania.osm file that I got. Also does anyone know about how many points of interest there are for the united states in .osm format? in my city, Reading Pennsylvania zip code 19602 ththe .osm loadstone converter which is limited by file size included 78 pois(points of interest.) And for example I know there's a subway restaurant and a quiznos that are in Reading but they are not in the loadstone database that I connverted from the .osm file.
