[HOT] Idle thought time mapping without the Internet

Hi John,

 

There is the Portable OpenStreetMap project but I suspect that needs to be well supported by a team of people who know how it all works

 

https://github.com/posm/posm

 

That may be an option if working in a ‘project’ type environment

 

Cheers - Phil

Can it be done?

 

We have a problem with adding names and detail in developing countries.  So it needs to be cheap and rugged.

 

I'm thinking in terms of smartphone for mapping.  You need to get data to it and from it.

 

So step one OsmAndMapCreator and create an OSMAND map.  USB stick in the post.  The USB stick goes into a laptop.  Do schools have laptops?  Even for admin purposes?

 

Connect the smartphone to the laptop.  Wifi and something like network_browser or even a USB cable.

 

Edit in osmand.  Hopefully someone can think of a way to get the edits back to OSM. 

 

Thoughts?

 

Thanks John
