Folks,

- I think this package violates Garmin (TM) proprietary format and their
patents.We should be careful by adding such a package to Fedora, Garmin (TM)
never released any specifications of their format, everything is a pure reverse 
engineering. On top of all it contains some patent subjected (not sure which
one) which allows very smart routing information store.

- Legal folk, can state some points over this package ?
