The downside of J2ME (at least in the UK, where it rains a lot) is that the phones that it runs on tend not to be waterproof. There are various cases available, but they're not cheap. Maybe a complementary approach would be to have something that could work with GPX file from a handheld GPS (that doesn't mind getting wet or dropped) and add in notes later to the GPX XML based on waypoint number?
The tricky bit would be to work out a way of getting information such as "there's a path north of here but no-one's mapped it yet" stored somewhere centrally (such as one of the Openstreetbugs-a-likes) and then allowing other people to retrieve it. Currently I update a large GPX with where I've been and where I haven't locally (and I'm sure many people do something similar), but there's no translation between "what the GPS stores" and "what it means". _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
