[Routing] Wiki-Page for defining OSM binary file format created

[Nic Roets]

My head is spinning after reading through all the posts.

A few constructive suggestions :

Perhaps we should create a mailing list for discussion on mobiles
because currently it divided between talk, dev and routing. I'm always
unsure what I should post to routing because a lot of gosmore issues
are rendering etc.

Development is not all about design and programming. A lot of
investigation, analysis, testing and documentation is required :
* The ARM CPU has a builtin MMU and there's no point in duplicating
that. Mobile developers should really look into mmap() for their
programming language and operating system. It will be a major step
towards a mobile data format.
* Windows (incl WinCE) comes with fast rendering of rotated text. Can
other mobile platforms do it fast enough ? I find cairo a bit sluggish
on my notebook, perhaps it's really bad on OpenMoko...

If we want to achieve something, we'll have to stand on each other's
shoulders. For example I'm finding mobile editing extremely useful. So
for gosmore I implemented simple additive functions. Leave the
splitting and combining of ways to JOSM. But now the requirement
arises for a JOSM plugin to stream line the process. And such a plugin
may also be useful for postprocessing other mobile edits.
