[OSM-talk] Using OSM Maps on a Nokia Phone without online updates?

[Graham Jones]

Gpsmid is quite a good solution for phones with java (J2ME).

Hi,

I tried to figure out the best way to use OSM abroad, with my equipment.

I need a way to use downloaded data. So I thought I could use my Symbian
S60v3 phone for it. It is a Nokia N82, a good tool for tracking, but to
locate yourself?!
I found the WhereAmI+ app, but I'm not sure if it's still in developing and
I also have problems to get maps on it (the export function doesn't work).

I'm not looking for an app that allows me full TomTom like navigation, just
the usual "here I am" and "ok there is a street", in combination with a way
to track my position in background.
I guess that this app is the right one, but if I can't install the maps for
another country before I travel it would be totally useless.

Does someone have a good idea for an alternative?
I was also thinking about buying a Garmin, but the N82 does basically have
the same functionality already. Maybe a tool to use Garmin maps on the N82
could be a solution, but I haven't seen such an app.
