hi guys, ghoomk...

Actualy is guys =) and we didn't do maemo mapper .. but we did this :



Just like maemo mapper, with navigation and more.. integrated in canola (what we call Canola Car Edition...


But just my 2 cents: I think the idea is great. As concept / interaction designer for the projects (carman / canola ) we wanted to provide this, I don't know if the version is going public soon, but more or less what you say we released at LGPL thus you could use it to build your software =) that's the beauty of open source.

The plans for carman was exacly like that.. you have a "rich" ui that is used just for in car , tuning lovers satisfaction, and the GTK UI where you can create all kinds of reports, logging with or without GPS to generate several kinds od data.

One of the concepts we implemented was to be able not only to log everything from you but also from your friend, with Carman's communicating via internet .. thus you can see your friends info on the screen..and log them also to compare with yours.

I think the combination of OBD2 with GPS very powerful...So if you need help (actually we don't have time.. but we can always try to help) contact us in the channels in freenode.. or via email!
