TrekBuddy - www.linuxtechs.net/kruch/tb/ No zoom, but uses “Atlases” Can record tracks Can read, show, add new waypoints Navigate to next waypoint Beta, has routing navigate to, along, backwards gpx – rte/rtept/wpt Bluetooth gps, location api, track.nmea SMS lat lon Free! not opensource,but frequent releases good support forum

Creating OSM on the Fly Coolness! But... GPS drift – walking, sampling every x seconds? To the JOSM young man! Costly. Fiddly. Best for: Small changes, potlatch style Nodes, POI etc *** At this present time ***

Coolness!

But...

GPS drift – walking, sampling every x seconds?

To the JOSM young man!

Costly. Fiddly.

Best for:

Small changes, potlatch style

Nodes, POI etc

*** At this present time ***

So in that case.... Where best to direct our energy? Field aid vs JOSM on your phone? Creation vs Editing. Is this street already mapped? Correct this street name / attributes. Waypoints, POI, nodes. But the future is coming space is merging Could see a full osm editor on the mobile device soon. Coolstuff voice recognition for streetnames video integration

Correct this street name / attributes.

Waypoints, POI, nodes.

But the future is coming

Could see a full osm editor on the mobile device soon.
