no burden whats so ever. i just set it and forget it. if you want to modify or string log files all you need to is open the log file in any text editor and copy paste delete what have you.
quality and accuracy are surprisingly good from what i have seen. only thing that messes me up are large concrete buildings or high rises in downtown areas. if you have an OSM account take a look at my gpstraces. all done with the openmoko and tangoGPS http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/jerjozwik/traces On Thu, May 7, 2009 at 10:25 AM, Fernando Martins <ferna...@cmartins.nl> wrote: > Joseph Reeves wrote: >> I've found that it's very enjoyable to travel somewhere not on OSM and >> add it later ;-) SHR + TangoGPS seems stable enough, and kind enough >> on the battery, to let me walk around for a whole day (or rather, walk >> as much as I'd want to in a day) and log everywhere I go. >> > How about quality of data, I mean, for instance if you have to backtrack > in a road, will you have to delete the log and restart all over?
