[OSM-talk] Adapted Maemo Mapper

A while back several people expressed interest in my modified version of 
Maemo Mapper for the Nokia N810 which does one-touch waypoints. My 
machine was out of action for a while, but it's back now, so I've now 
been able to make this available to download at
  http://www.frankieandshadow.com/dl?f=osm

- install Maemo-Mapper from the repository as normal
- replace the binary (which is in /usr/bin/maemo-mapper on the N810) 
with the one above (you may want to install the ssh server and or 
gainroot in order to get at /usr/bin). This is only for the Chinook 
version of Maemo on the N810: N800 and N700 not supported, sorry.
- in Options under Waypoints, tick the two boxes to turn on the 
one-touch waypoint function; you might also want to increase the size of 
the numbers displayed in the same place. Then when you track the view by 
lat/lon a prod anywhere on the map display will add an auto-numbered 
waypoint which JOSM will recognise when importing audio.

Maemo-Recorder works fine in the background for recording the 
commentary; a bluetooth headset is useful, but use some sponge over it 
to reduce wind noise. Don't forget to set the default recording format 
to WAV.
