This might not be the most intelligent response but... How cool! All sorts of 
people conversing and processing our world, its senses and messages... I love 
technology, I love ideas, I love possibilities, communication and maps.... Now 
if Google would stop being so evil with their licensing

Hello
My name is Josh and I am a new list member. I am blind, use screen readers such 
asJaws by Freedom Scientific and NVDA from www.nvda-project.org . I joined 
thiss list because I use a free gps program for blind people called Loadstone 
gps. I was wondering if someone on this list could create a tool which would 
turn an open streetmap .osm file into a loadstone database file, or perhapsa 
loadstone points file such as those which can be obtained from the loadstone 
point share exchange website?
Also I got a small .osm file for my area and imported it into loadstone...yes 
there is a tool at www.rmpro-hosting.com/ls/ and www.loadstone-gps.com that 
will convert .osm files but the .osm files must be 2mb or less in size. I would 
like a tool that wiill convert a big osm file like the 130mb pennsylvania.osm 
file that I got. Also does anyone know about how many points of interest there 
are for the united states in .osm format? in my city, Reading Pennsylvania zip 
code 19602 ththe .osm loadstone converter which is limited by file size 
included 78 pois(points of interest.) And for example I know there's a subway 
restaurant and a quiznos that are in Reading but they are not in the loadstone 
database that I connverted from the .osm file.
