heu, probably, yes... everything i know about it deduced from the demo pages i was making, so my info is pretty limited.

I hope the project offers a lot of features with a great interface, because price=0 as in the navigation products below is hard to beat. All you need is a GPS-enabled phone. Or a bluetooth/serial GPS module it can talk to.

With that whole web 2.0 social stuff and route/place/map sharing:

Without:

I've used nav4all for more than a year now, and it has never steered me wrong in any place I have found myself in.
i'm pretty sure the price of this one will be 0 as well. i believe it's going to be an online api like google maps. i could be wrong though. it is probably something similar to those things you linked to but i don't think you install it on your device ; i was working on browser interfaces. you register your devices to your account, and then it sends the info to the device.

sorry i don't have more detailed info !
