[NUUG kart] waze

[Bjørn Kvisli]

Har dere sett denne: http://world.waze.com/  ?

Her samles det inn kartdata fra menigmann for at menigmann skal kunne bruke 
dem til gratis navigering på mobiltelefon. I tillegg går forretningsmodellen  
ut på å selge kartdata til kommersielle brukere.

Her skriver de litt om oss :
"Why doesn't waze work with OpenStreetMaps?
Waze has the technology to create dynamic maps from consumer driving 
relatively quickly. This is how we created the map in Israel, but when we 
planned on making our app available on the US market, we decided to use an 
existing map as a base, rather than start the map building from scratch, and 
considered various map providers including OSM and TIGER.

We are committed to keeping waze free for our end users who help build the 
system, yet we're a commercial company who's looking to generate revenue down 
the line. When looking at the OSM licensing terms, we felt that they might 
limit us from certain business models in the future, and, therefore, we 
decided to use TIGER maps. This may change in the future, however, and we are 
open to potential cooperation with OSM, and other, similar, services."

Vet noen om et navigasjonsprogram for mobiltelefoner med GPS som bruker OSM-
kart?
