love the idea of mobile mapping (i'm considering building this into my windows mobile project)<br>although i do not have datalimits on my wireless connection (others will have)<br> it will be a good thing to reduce the data size to transfer (faster)
<br><br>offtopic: an api or other server that could store other related data on the move like photo's and voice annotations would rule (can build my own server for this, but a public osm server would be better) <br><br>
