PGPSW to provide maps?

[furryfred]

One way that PGPSW might be able to expand would be to prepare and provide GPS maps bearing in mind the fact that the Tom Tom maps are so far out of date when they are produced.

I would not mind paying a reasonable commercial amount for a reliable mapbase.

Any comments?

that wouldnt feesable for most systems as the way the maps are coded is different for each company and that is what gives the tomtom map its value as not open source add to that the lisenceing costs involed and become way to expensive have a look at the link below in the article is an overveiw of how the maps are made http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/teleatlas-visit-aug05.php
