I'd actually flag smartphones as the culprit. They're the good-enough cheap alternative that's disrupting the satnav business. TomTom's article is actually about an Android app that uses OSM data. Heck, my Blackberry doesn't have a GPS, but I can navigate usably with the Vodafone app that just triangulates off the cell towers. Resolution is terrible (on the order of 100-200 metres), but it turns out to be mostly sufficient. - d. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
