loan out GPS hardware?<br>
<br>
OK, Android, too. Best GPS-phone-enabled app to absorb a decent<br>
Mapping Party wander and upload to a laptop. (Something like<br>
GPSBabel, but streamlined for GPS-phone-to-laptop, could be a USB<br>
cable, could be Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, there are lots of possibilities).<br>
Upload to OSM directly (also) from the phone app is OK, too. The<br>
idea here is to do an iD walkthrough (on a laptop, at a Mapping<br>
Party) as a teaching moment. Uploading a GPX track is one thing.<br>
Editing the map with iD and good tags and smart data entry is much<br>
more. We have the time and patience to share what we know with<br>
others (we also have newer tools, like smartphones running newer OS<br>
versions). We want these new OSM volunteers to soar and fly. So<br>
let's conversation-streamline some smartphone-to-OSM_Editor<br>
solutions. Anybody?<br>
<br>
I figure I'll just start talking about this here. You never know who<br>
is reading and might think "good idea, I might listen in on that<br>
thread." Or even throw in two cents.<br>
