[OSM-dev] Fwd: Mobile Phone Audio Mapping Tool?

[Graham Jones (Physics)]

Tim, Dave,
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.

It looks like GPSMid is a fancier version of what I was thinking of writing
(I had displaying maps as a possible future extension....).
I'll have a look at that with a view to tweaking it if necessary to make the
audio bits work how I want.

Regards

Graham.
