Nick Whitelegg: > Hello everyone, > > Was thinking of a few ideas for an OSM mobile editor which could work as > follows: > > * Ability to allow user in the field to add new attributes to a way (e.g. > road name if it's missing, or one way) or correct existing attributes. > * Allow a user to add new POIs. > * Could work by either downloading OSM data live from the server (though > this would have problem of being relatively expensive for the user) or by > the user preloading OSM data to the phone before they go out. > * Allows user to add annotations to Openstreetbugs (e.g. "missing footpath > here") > * Because the inbuilt GPS in phones is not as good as dedicated devices, > it would not be a priority to develop features to allow surveying of new > ways. However this could be built in, in preparation for inbuilt mobile > GPS improving in the future. > * Java ME based for maximum cross platform support. > > Does this seem like a good approach? As can be seen the idea is not so > much to allow addition of new ways (due to the inbuilt GPS on phones not > being great) but more to add POIs and tags to existing ways. If there's > interest and - more crucially - if I have the time (always difficult!) I > could start work on it. > > Nick _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
