<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My name is Josh and I am a new list member. I am
blind, use screen readers such asJaws by Freedom Scientific and NVDA from <A
href="http://www.nvda-project.org">www.nvda-project.org</A> . I joined thiss
list because I use a free gps program for blind people called Loadstone gps. I
was wondering if someone on this list could create a tool which would turn an
open streetmap .osm file into a loadstone database file, or perhapsa loadstone
points file such as those which can be obtained from the loadstone point share
exchange website? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also I got a small .osm file for my area and
imported it into loadstone...yes there is a tool at <A
href="http://www.rmpro-hosting.com/ls/">www.rmpro-hosting.com/ls/</A> and <A
href="http://www.loadstone-gps.com">www.loadstone-gps.com</A> that will convert
.osm files but the .osm files must be 2mb or less in size. I would like a tool
that wiill convert a big osm file like the 130mb pennsylvania.osm file that I
got. Also does anyone know about how many points of interest there are for the
united states in .osm format? in my city, Reading Pennsylvania zip code 19602
ththe .osm loadstone converter which is limited by file size included 78
pois(points of interest.) And for example I know there's a subway restaurant and
a quiznos that are in Reading but they are not in the loadstone database that I
connverted from the .osm file. </FONT></DIV>
