Hi Frédéric, I have indeed looked into an offline map source based upon openstreetmap.
The key issue there is how detailed it should be, zoom steps, versus required size. It very quickly grows into megabytes, gigabytes... One way to do it is to provide a basic map for offline use and make it simple to create your very own detailed off line map. 73 de Per, sm0rwo ________________________________ From: Frédéric bouchet <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, August 23, 2009 12:23:36 PM Subject: Re: [digitalradio] new jpskmail, pskmail client version 0.3.7 Hello, and thank you for all, I try all these things in the day, if I come from my holiday place to connect.
