When you change from one map type to another, your mouse pointer is just sitting out in the field. How did you change from OSM to satellite views??

How do I know which GPS chips or hardware devices can be used with this software, tangoGps?

I don't get how you switch between map styles

[deelkar]

navit can do that.

could it calculate directions also? i mean there`s no actual use for navigation here, you cannot just ride straight away directly to some place, you have to drive on the road.

is there any application on linux that can do it?

thanks for the nice presentation. I am awaiting for my new neo freerunner to be delivered and I am looking forward to test the tangoGPS on it.

tangoGPS is such an totally awesome app, especially on the openmoko freerunner!
