AFAIK the consensus has been that mapping solution is a downstream
choice,there was never any significant member interest in doing anything
upstream that I'm aware of.  For anything intended to go into the AGL
source tree as a demo we have settled on a requirement that a
license-free provider like OpenStreetMaps be the default.  Having the
ability to enable using something else non-free like MapBox or the like
with some extra configuration is fine, that's currently what the Qt demo
navigation apps do (a MapBox key can be placed in the configuration file).

The rough plan at the moment is that a replacement for the previous
agl-service-telephony binding will be built at some point to enable demos,
but it's not an immediate concern with all the other work underway to
switch to Flutter.  Once the base components for a Flutter based demo with
homescreen, mediaplayer, settings, and navigation are in hand, looking at
Flutter versions of the previous Qt phone and messaging demos will be
more interesting.  At this point, I'm guessing a timeframe for that would
be the mid-2023 AGL release.
