Start an existing OSM browsing app for N95 and other S60 mobiles, e.g. WhereAmI. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/WhereAmI Other possible apps: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Category:Java_midlet http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Category:Symbian Jamie -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkinIzAACgkQz+aYVHdncI2grgCeLC1vSZAiTt6kz9nDbUMvcb1J dnkAoN9sOqlVbfEFngjSlIvJ6yWdUTxG =tKRT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
