Jim, take a little cruise of Maemo Mapper, a freeware Google Earth that's
connected to the WAAS/GPS bluetooth receiver for the Nokia N800 Linux
internet tablet. It put you within 3' of the Virtual Earth, Google Earth
or the great topographical maps of Terra Server....all free sources of
data for it. The maps download on-the-fly, or you can preload them into
the memory cards if you don't have a bluetooth data link to your
cellphone.

For that price, you can do the same with preloaded images and
updatable maps already on units from Garmin and TomTom.

Hey Tom.
Tom look on your TOMTOM at state road 429 which starts in Apopka Florida and
it ends at I4 near Clermont. My Garmin shows it ending where it crosses the
Turnpike. This is a recently completed road and I'm curious as to weather
TomTom shows the complete road.
Thanks.
Happy T day.
Jim

I believe it does, but is there a name on that road that would help
me? I see 429 and it looks like it connects, but a road name would
help.
Thanks.
Happy T day.

I believe the name of the road is Danial Webster Highway. It is a toll
road.
Thanks

Ok doke- give me a minute.

Well...

I'm going out on a limb here and say that yes - it does show the
connector. What I can't make out is if it's marked as "completed" or
as "proposed".

I know that doesn't answer your question - thats' the best I can do.

It would be very tough to read the "Map" while driving.

There seems to be a fair deal of "play" on the mapping data.

There is going to be a huge backlash on Google stock eventually - you
heard it here first.

Within five years - bet on it.

Commercial interests are putting out false information, it seems.

AS I have reported before, I'm in possession of a new Nokia N800 Linux-
powered internet tablet. Nokia also produces a really fantastic
Bluetooth-connected 12 channel WAAS GPS receiver for this and their phone
devices. The device comes with a license for Navicore, a locked up,
commercial street navigator I wish I could get a refund on without
sending back the GPS, which I can't. The reason is quite simple....Maemo
Mapper....

The hackers have taken the concept of Google Earth and put it in my
pocket, connected to several FREE map sources of maps, satellite photos,
even topographical maps I can select, even add to if there are new ones.
The software, Maemo Mapper, for this little internet tablet is free, open
source Linux software in the Linux tradition.

"So what?"

The only backlash Google may feel is from the commercial map sellers
trying to find a way to put a stop to them feeding me free data. If
boaters can get Google interested in MARINE CHARTING, Garmin and the
others selling data the PUBLIC PAID FOR will come to an end.

Maemo Mapper is a simply fantastic tool. It puts your vehicle in the
exact parking space of the satellite photo, following you around that
satellite photo, overlaid with street information, WHILE YOU WALK! You
don't need to be connected to the data over wifi or cellphone, either.
You can upload the photos/maps to the 8GB SD cards (2) in the tablet
before you leave your computer room....all free. Virtual Earth maps and
data work best, here. It's uncanny how accurate it is....

search youtube for Maemo Mapper and see how it works....

I can't imagine a "Google backlash" when they're giving Google Earth and
all the data necessary to make it work, away for FREE. I CAN see a
backlash of Garmin who loves to produce proprietary maps, then stop
supporting them so you have to replace a perfectly good working GPS every
so often because of non-support. Damn them!
