[Openstreetmap] tracklog with voice commentary.

[Jim Ley]

Hi guys,

I was hoping to make it along to the wsfii hack session this afternoon, but 
it looks like it might not be possible, so I wanted to sketch out some notes 
on an idea for helping with the collection of data, and what I was sort of 
planning on hacking on today.

I cycle around areas generating tracklogs, I where a handsfree kit into my 
phone.  I think it would be pretty easy to write a simple Series 60 python 
application, that would allow me to record a geostamped (assuming bluetooth 
gps, I've not got one so would have to test with just timestamping) 
recording of the names of the road or any other feature.  Hopefully then it 
would be simple to add these voice tags into the osm editing capabilities, 
making it much easier to edit the tracks back down to road names or 
features - indeed anyone should be able to at least mark up the tracks and 
basically clean them.

I also want to look at an svg/vml in browser editor, I don't think it should 
be too hard, as the java applet doesn't work for me, and osm-editor is linux 
only :-(

Jim.
