[Talk-us] Skobbler Navigation Released For United States

[Philipp Kandal]

Hi talk-us, Ian,

we are actually working quite a bit on extending the bugs page to add more functionality, with one being also to sync the bugs to OpenStreetbugs. Before that we first want to make sure that we have the bugs with all needed data collected so that we don't "trash" OpenStreetBugs.

Regarding the "OSM Hacker" modes, we have had some early thoughts to use a special map style to highlight areas with potential problems in the map, but we are very open to hear how you would have that work exactly.
I strongly believe in the Open Street Map and we definitely want to include some tools in skobbler that help to make the map better.

If you have further comments feel free them directly to me, send them on this mailing list or also use our forum available on: http://forum.skobbler.com/forumdisplay.php?15-US&langid=3

Best regards,
Philipp - CTO skobbler

Betreff: [Talk-us] Skobbler Navigation Released For United States

Hi talk-us,

It appears that Skobbler released their iPhone navigation app using OSM data several days ago. I didn't see an announcement on the mailing list here, so I thought I'd pass it along. I'm downloading it now, but it appears that user-entered bugs are already showing up in their openstreetbugs clone: http://www.skobbler.us/osmbugs

I'm hoping they include a "OSM Hacker" option to route you towards areas that have tiger:reviewed flags still or other features of interested to an OSM contributor.

Looks neat!
