[maemo-developers] Shell API to call maemo-mapper commands, functions, options ?

[From: Darius Jack]

Thanks.
As hardware keys are already supported it's a matter of other features with  virtual keyboard access enabled.

Yes. I have considered paying for upgrade of maemo-mapper.
Could you kindly tell me how GPL application can be made commercial 
and how much should I pay for other features made public available with source code anyway.

As I said previously.
I need to build personalized interface.

Darius
