> All i have is a GPRS enabled cell phone. Don't knock them! Where I map there is no aerial imagery and I have had to to 3 or 4 areas about a mile across completely from scratch. I only have a GPRS enabled phone too. Recently in the UK we've had detailed maps released from the Ordnance Survey that we can trace over, and I was quite impressed by the accuracy of the original traces. I've made some minor changes because I have a better source now, but the original layouts were perfectly acceptable as they were. I use a Nokia N79 running Whereami (although Sportstracker works fine too). As long as it's kept level and moving on a bike or car then it's great. On foot, under trees or around buildings it's rubbish! You could check the general accuracy of your phone by converting your traces to kml format and having a look at Google Earth for comparison, at least you'll get to know when it's good and when it's bad.

But the resolution of the maps is poor for my location here in India. So guys is there anyway to get any other source of areial imagery thats good ? And Is there any way to find lat and longs without GPS device?. Since GPS devices are too big for my budget in my country, i am working without any such device. All i have is a GPRS enabled cell phone. Any innovative ideas guys _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies -- _______________________________________________ Surf the Web in a faster, safer and easier way: Download Opera 9 at http://www.opera.com
