Lambertus I think your work is awsome, you must be incredibly clever!

Lol thanks. But no, the people who develop Mkgmap are the clever ones here 🙂

I'd like to see software that can grab data from an MP file and upload it to OSM. The map I've made using Mapedit is superior to the OSM one because it's so much more user friendly.

An MP to OSM converter? Just out of curiosity: What makes Mapedit so much better then JOSM then Merkaator?

Question, where do you see the future of mapping going and where will your own projects lead? 😛

Pff, difficult question this early. Well, I hope to see much more use of OSM data (why would we map anyway otherwise?). Mostly my projects appear at the time OSM is ready for it. E.g. the forum was introduced when OSM became also interesting to people other then geeks. Yournavigation.org was developed when The Netherlands, UK and Germany had fairly complete roadnetworks. The routable Garmin maps were a longtime wish but I refuse to do a lot of manual work each week so I waited until the tools had evolved enough to do the generation automatically. If other interesting areas to work on popup then I'll do it (if my GF allowes it 😛).
