Hello,
I'm thinking about how to output data that is captured from a mobile
device so that it is useful to OSM. I think this means that it should
be:
*Easily input into Osmeditor and JOSM
*Contain information about the segments, pois etc including class and
attribute to allow recording of POIs and street names at a basic
level. The idea is to allow pepple to make useful notes that augment
the capabilities of a GPS, rather than to create a mobile
JOSM/Osmeditor/Applet.
So I'm wondering how best to recrod this information so as to maximise
compatibility with other OSM software. Should I record notes to a GPX
field along with the trackpoints, waypoints etc, or should I record to
a .OSM format, or simply to a .csv or .txt file?
Any comments are appreciated - I really want to avoid producing a
program that is totally incompatible with the selection we have
already.
Cheers,
Nick
