Above all, the fact that the maps are not stored locally on the phone does in fact have an advantage - the map is ALWAYS up-to-date, as the company who maintain the map, only have to change small parts of it each time a change has to be made, and this change is then "delivered" to the user only when he specifically uses the area with the changes, so no need to make sure your map is always updated - as its always updated by default.
Where is the traffic alerts derived from? How detailed are they?
For example in waze you will get a route avoiding the most inner streets in tel-aviv because of traffic.
Does that exist in telmap too?

Anyway the waze source is big. it would take someone unfamiliar with the project weeks to convert it, and thats only if he dedicates all day to it.

I just finished C++ and C studies In collage and still C++ on real projects look like a totally different language from the stuff they teach me in collage. I wish i could covert it so easily.

If not, I could at least start trying to make this to work - I'm not a C++ wiz (I'm much more on the C# side), but I guess I could brush off my (minor) C++ skills and maybe at least get us a step closer to a proper navigation program on our beloved N900...
