The last time I had to program in Java is now 15 years ago, and I still
don't like it. C is so much easier, that's while all important projects
like linux kernel and glibc are written in it ;)

I started with a patch to set the copyright message which is shown
during boot of my garmin devices and in the info menu. 
By the way, I found out that every string will get a (c) prefix, so the
current two liner "OpenStreetMap.org contributors. See: http://wiki.openstreetmap.
org/index.php/Attribution" looks curious with that.

As next I would look at the above license text. Is this text somewhere
shown? I couldn't find any place, even if you can find it in the image.

Between, what would be a good wording for the SRTM data?

My current patch is attached.

  Thorsten
