Hello Jason,
Rob (rob at coolbegin.com) has developed OSMTracker en OSME (OSM editor)
for Compact Framework 2.0 and Mobile device. I recently recieved source
code from him.
You can read the details on these projects on
* http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/OSMtracker
* http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/MOSME
I am currently looking into Rob's source code and am mainly focusing on
issues with:
* display orientation change that I am having on my MDA Vario, this
device can be snapped open to have a keyboard unfold and then
display changes from portrait to landscape
* Integration of the SharpGPS gps-library (www.codeplex.com\sharpgps)
And meanwhile I am looking into porting SharpMap
(www.codeplex.com\sharpmap) to Compact Framework 2.0.
Can we join forces?
It seems to me that having a development team of three, we allready have
a good starting point to set things up on for instance Google Code which
gives us the power of svn, a wiki and a download section.
