Tim, Dave,<br>Thank you for your help with this. Dave is right that I was looking at doing this as a bit of a challenge,
but I wanted to produce a separate audio recorder to the one that came
with my phone to make it easier to use without having to select options
etc., and adding the geotagging bits would be relatively simple to add.<br><br>It looks like GPSMid is a fancier version of what I was thinking of writing (I had displaying maps as a possible future extension....). <br>
I'll have a look at that with a view to tweaking it if necessary to make the audio bits work how I want.<br><br>Regards<br><br>Graham.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/3/28 Tim Waters (chippy) <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:chippy2005@gmail.com">chippy2005@gmail.com</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I think GPSMid <a href="http://gpsmid.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank">http://gpsmid.sourceforge.net/</a> supports audio<br>
mapping. it's a J2me program - your phone would need to support it<br>
also (mine doesn't alas).<br>
<br>
Also I use mobile trails explorer (also j2me), which has an audio<br>
waypoint tool too. (again, not tried).<br>

<br>
Both programs work with bluetooth GPS and work with OSM in mind, and<br>
they are open source, so feel free to hack on them, see what works,<br>
might save you re-writing it from scratch!<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
