[OSM-talk] OSM Maps on TomTom

[grahamjones139 at googlemail.com]

It looks like the TomTom will not be difficult to write code for. TomTom  
themselves recognise that they have used OpenSource code to develop it, and  
provide the open source bits of the software (linux kernels, libraries, and  
compiler) (http://www.tomtom.com/page.php?Page=gpl).
It looks quite easy to get a program running on it - the main problem for  
me will be graphics - without looking at the kernel sources it is not  
obvious how they have coded it - no SDL or GTK libraries listed etc - they  
might be writing directly to the framebuffer with their own code.

I'll have a look sometime, but if anyone with experience of graphics on  
embedded systems fancies a look, I would appreciate some pointers on how to  
get it drawing on the screen!

Graham.
