One reason for the limited number of BlackBerry devices being used for mapping is a serious lack of software. To my knowledge, there is only one app for BlackBerry phones that lets you do editing, BigTinCan Mapper, and the only editing you can do is to upload GPS traces and to add certain preset types of POIs. The program has a means of requesting new POI types, but the product has apparently been abandoned by BigTinCan. No new POI types have been added in the two years that I have been using BigTinCan Mapper, and getting a reply from their tech support literally takes months of waiting.
There are a number of other products, both commercial and free, that will display OSM data, but none of them, to my knowledge, allow you to make changes. -------Original Email------- Subject :Re: [OSM-talk] What phone survey results >From :mailto:[email protected] Date :Fri Jan 07 14:00:49 America/Chicago 2011 That's kind of interesting. Sold over what time period though?
