Hi,
I've started to create a detailed layout for use in OSMTracker for Android,
which hopefully will help in surveying paths and tracks, and subsequently
updating OSM. It's slightly different to the original layout within the
app, and it has buttons for UK designations, access restrictions,
smoothness, surface, and a few other features which I think will help.
In order to use this layout, you will need to install OSMTracker for
Android (there are 2 versions of OSMTracker, so make sure you have the
correct one. Once installed, go to settings, Button Presets, and click on
the green cross top right, then click on the spanner symbol. Tick Custom,
and;
Github username = Nick-Tallguy
Repository name = osmtracker-android-layouts
Branch name = master
Click save, and you should have the option to click on a number of
different layouts created by other contributors, and WALK RIDE DETAILED.
Click this, and a brief message will appear explaining its use - if you're
happy, click download, and make your way back to the start screen, making
sure to put a tick in 'walk ride detailed'. When you next start a new track
you will see this layout. You can change between layouts whilst tracking if
you wish. Don't forget to make a note of any PROW reference that may be
displayed.
I'd appreciate feedback on the layout - are there any buttons / labels you
would like adding (not too many - it may be better to create a new layout)?
Any problems, please get back to me. The layout is 'work in progress' and I
expect to alter it as a result of feedback.
There are more detailed guides at;
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSMTracker_(Android)
https://github.com/labexp/osmtracker-android/wiki
and https://learnosm.org/en/mobile-mapping/osmtracker/ (this one's now a
little out of date and refers to the other version of OSMTracker).
To find a PROW that needs a survey, take a look at
https://osm.mathmos.net/survey/ and make sure you have a tick in 'Public
Rights of Way'.
Regards
Nick
