Hi, the maps is actually something like maemo mapper, but we needed to create a " GUI " component for maps, and maemo mapper, while it works great is a big C file =) we don;t want to mess with that

So that is the point : this what I showed is a " normal " canola with a maps plugins, that works with any maps (like maemo mappers) does navigation and routing etc, but is not released because we cannot release it now.

But our plans is not to use it as it is.. but to create a simpler 4-way interface where you get :

1) media ( browser your media with even more easy then today)
2) navigation (flickr your finger to the side.. it goes out of media.. goes to navigation )
3) Carman ( flick to th other side you get the gauges, getting information from the OBD2)
and maybe
4) flick down you get communications, where you can make calls using your mobile phone contacts and things (using bluetooth connectivity)

=)
