  Most are covered in the workshop I did at SOTM Asia, which would make
a good wiki page. A brief list would be:

ODKCollect - Collects waypoint that can be imported into JOSM.
GeoODK - Collects tracks, which can be imported into JOSM.
ODKBriefcase - Pulls files off device and converts to CSV file for JOSM.
QGIS - More GIS oriented than JOSM, but very useful
JOSM - Of course
OSMAnd, Maps.ME, GaiaGPS, AlpineQuest - Display OSM data, use custom
basemaps.
Vespucci - OSM editing, can download and work offline.
Mapper - Used to produce orienteering maps, good paper output.
Hootenanny - For conflating multiple files. Has an offline command line
interface as well as a web based interactive one I run locally on on my
laptop.

  I've also got a bunch of programs on github I wrote. They're crude but
effective, and run on my Android tablet as well. That reduces the need
for a laptop in the field, and gets better battery life as well.
Important when living off a small solar panel.

  MobileAtlas. Its a java app, so runs most everywhere. I use it for
producing basemaps for various display apps like OsmAnd, and
AlpineQuest. I can see if it'll produce basemaps that JOSM can use. It
does handle sat imagery well, I also have a plugin I wrote that
downloads Google Earth Hybrid data, which sometimes is better than Bing
for various parts of the planet.

Do we have a wiki page anywhere that lists the off line mapping options?

Thanks John

[HOT] mapping buildings or houses with a smartphone?

[john whelan]

I've come across a few hundred that have been mapped as bus_stops using
maps.me on smartphones in Togo.

These have been mapped as nodes.

Does anyone have any suggestions on a better way to map them?  Ideally
using maps.me since that would keep the training simpler.

Poor internet connections so its all off line.

I think someone built an off line tool that handled imagery as well as
tiles is that still around could it be run on a laptop feeding iD or JOSM
on other laptops?

I have some concerns about accuracy with the maps.me approach not all the
buildings line up with Bing.

Thanks John
