Hello! I had taken an increasing interest in the data and software side of OpenStreetMap over the last half year, quickly resulting in some hacking on data analysis, map drawing and routing, leading to a C++ library which is already usable (but still far form complete) and is designed to handle all the stuff some navigation software might need for backend.
To learn more about it, you can take a look (short video included) at: http://libosmscout.sf.net Note that while this library has a frontend (my initial efforts targeting to the Nokia N810), target is the library that can be used by many backends on multiple platforms. I'm sure not the right person to write a fancy frontend. While I'm sure I will finish it someday in a state fitting my personal needs (I'm satisfied with its progress), a better and quicker result might be interesting for other people, too. Because of that I would like to invite you joining development. If you are interested in helping, do not hesitate to take a look, mail me, subscribe (sourceforge needs some more hours to setup the mailing list) or even hack the code... If in doubt, mail me, too, I do my best to answer all your critical questions :-) I'm looking for clever architects, algorithm junkies, library building experts, OSM data experts, graphical wizards, users, testers etc... I know that documentation is missing, code could be improved, more features are required or existing ones beeing bulky and I'm possibly lacking in-deep OSM knowledge but that should be seen a s a motivation to join and can be fixed quickly if *you* help :-) While you are now beeing overwelmed by this enthusiastic request for help, I must hint that I'm in holiday for a ~10 days starting from the 16.9., so don't be suprised me not answering during this period. -- Gruß...
