I would vote fpr the si4732/si4735. It does not include weather band, but short wave. weather band is afaik an us-only thing.

Information can also be added which is not considered to be worth to be added by the comercial map providers. When I'm traveling by bicycle I check for OSM availability because if there is good OSM data available these maps are often better for cyclists, than many non-free maps. So I think there are needs which won't be easily fulfilled by non-free maps. The bicycle stuff is just an example.

But you need the raw data messages, if you want to use the Freerunner as a base station for DGPS (and running around with another Freerunner using that base station). As far as I can remember there are also tools to measure the distance between two measurement points by using these raw messages.

Accelerometer
Hi, I have tried to do get some values from the accelerometers.

As far as I understnd thee first line is for the x axis, the second for the y-axis, the thirs for the z-axis. The value for the x axis does not change. I get no data for /dev/input/event2. Is there any magic switch to enable it? Only one of the accel entries in /proc/interrupts changes its value Greetings Andreas Kemnade signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Some > applications have a database to insert POIs (like TangoGPS), but still > doesn't exists something integrating all the features we > (OSMmappers/surveyors) need. > Intregrating such things is on my todo list for mumpot. For now, I mark start and end points of a way while cycling on it (in between I select the highway class), osm data is directly created and take a photo of street signs or other things which I do not directly map on the place (perhaps for the name of a POI, or if the POI is not in my presets). Sometimes I stop to do some correction or manual editing. I upload the osm data on the go directly from mumpot. At home (on the next day or so) I download the osm data for the area again in JOSM and add the street names and other stuff from the photos. I really think an integrated solution would be best because then you do not need to switch between applications all the time and the space on the screen is limited. So doing voice recording could be a kind of "fallback" which can be activated on every object insertion if the presets are not enough. I'm also thinking about using buttons in the headset for example to start recording, or especially on the bicycle scenario, what about extra buttons on the handlebar?

So I have an account and I'm identified to that system. I also have the verification mail I got when creating that account. So what's going on there?
