Re: [Talk-us] Best iOS app for GPS wander, GPX to laptop into OSM?

For trail surveys and other GPS recording on Android I've been very happy with Google's "My Tracks" app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.maps.mytracks=en It's pretty easy to use just hit "record", then allows the addition of markers & photos while recording --

Re: [Talk-us] Best iOS app for GPS wander, GPX to laptop into OSM?

Keypadmapper can send the recorded data via email. OSMTracker can upload the GPX-trace directly to OSM I use Bluetooth to get the data from OSMTracker or OsmAn to my laptop. regards m On Tue, Oct 6, 2015 at 7:53 AM, stevea wrote: > Marc Gemis writes: > >> I've

Steve, For most of my data collection, I find that the built in photos app is actually all I use. Each photo is geotagged, which comes in handy if I forget exactly where I was when I took the photo. I end up picking up details when looking at the pictures later that I didn't originally see

+1 Great idea. I would think USGS might even be interested in some sort of collaboration to clean up all the GNIS points. -- SEJ -- twitter: @geomantic -- skype: sejohnson8 There are two types of people in the world. Those that can extrapolate from incomplete data. On Tue, Oct 6, 2015 at 5:25

No, but if you just want offline GPS navigation based on OSM data, get Maps.me Peter On Tue, Oct 6, 2015 at 2:44 PM, Greg Morgan wrote: > On Fri, Oct 2, 2015 at 1:03 PM, Dave Hansen wrote: > > These are based off of Lambertus's work here: > > > >

[Talk-us] Map Roulette Idea - GNIS "parks"

A subset of the the US Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) data was imported into OSM [2]. I have discovered a systematic error in the GNIS. In the US there are at least two different meanings for the word "park" when it comes to things we might map in OSM. The first is a recreational

Re: [Talk-us] Map Roulette Idea - GNIS "parks"

Hi Mike, I’m just going to through my hat in here, nothing concrete, just suggestions. I am sure you probably know this, but maybe others on the list do not – if you’ve seen/heard of the cartoon “South Park” – it’s actually named after one of those geographic features described in that

Besides having all the issues Keypadmapper has squared, how do you prevent IP leakage from google to OSM? For example do you know if it employs any "lock on road" or similar technology? Simon Am 06.10.2015 um 17:47 schrieb Adam Franco: > For trail surveys and other GPS recording on Android I've

Re: [Talk-us] Best iOS app for GPS wander, GPX to laptop into OSM?

As far as I can tell, MyTracks is a super-simple application that doesn't seem like it would introduce any Google IP -- though maybe you or others have better ideas of how such a thing might occur. I've never seen a track snap to roads or trails (all of the GPX track-points seem to have the
