<div dir="ltr"><span class="HcCDpe">Yes, the mobile world needs such applications,</span><br>that is why I created a program called Open Citymap (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/opencitymap/">http://code.google.com/p/opencitymap/</a>)<br>
Which firstly was created on the trolltech Greenphone, but now it is being re-made (cleaning code + improving) for other devices.<br>Those other devices are curently: The OpenMoko freerunner (at the moment under Qtopia) and the Nokia N810 (qt/x11).<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
i am thinking there's a lack of OSM editors to be used on the road. Something simple<br>
allowing to e.g. set nodes while on the road etc. Just for all those things that aren't<br>
easily derived from the gps track.<br>
<br>
So i started Mosmed (Mobile OSM EDitor, and yes, in the meantime i've learned that<br>
there's something named mosme which is the same thing targetted at windows ce).<br>
The name is only for development and may change (any idea is welcome).<br>
<br>
Here's what i am trying to do:<br>
- Simple gui, currently the map looks quite exactly as it does in potlatch<br>
- Work is handled in projects (basically an area you work on for which the osm data is then<br>
downloaded) to keep the data to be handled small<br>
- support for GPS and live overlayed tracks<br>
- stylus/touchscreen control<br>
- direct OSM interface<br>
<br>
I am doing this using a bunch of exisiting frameworks on top of maemo/gtk/hildon so<br>
this runs on the nokia internet tablets as well as on gtk equipped desktops (linux). The<br>
drawing is e.g. done using gnomecanvas which gives nice antialiased vector graphics<br>
as seen on this (rather old) snapshot here:<br>
<br>

<br>
Mosmed also did its first upload to the database (the tags of node 283749903 have been<br>
changed using mosmed).<br>
<br>
I really think there's a need for something like this. The built-in gps of the nokia n810 in<br>
combination with its wlan/bluetooth for osm up- and download and the 800x480 scree<br>
imho make this a very nice device to be used for live updates on the road.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Till<br>
