I like osm2go, but here are the things wich prevent me to use it : * not easy installation. If you encounter an error, you must create manually the ~/.osm2go folder * needs to set a project (not easy from the openmoko) to download the osm vector format * you must set many projects if you want to map in many places, because the projects must contains very small areas not to be veeeery slow (best if a rectangle of 5 km * 5km ). It is a shame you cannot start "from scratch" * optimized for maemo screen, so not very usable with finger
But, it remains a great app, and you can try it on you debian or ubuntu : https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=830 And have a look of the wiki page http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM2Go As a conclusion, I would say I cannot use it on my openmoko which is very frustrating since it has many great features. This is why I think "we" must create a dedicated openmoko software for easy editing : * png tiles * big "add poi" buttons with preconfigured osm tags (as osm2go does well) * deconnected mode : import osm data / upload changes BUT without displaying the vector data, OR only a small bit of data (new layer) chosen by the user. Diplaying vectors make osm2go slow on the freerunner, but we need the data to be able to commit changes I hope I do not monopolize the subject :D 2009/6/30 David Garabana Barro <da...@garabana.com> > On Tuesday 30 June 2009 11:37:04 kimaidou wrote: > > Sorry I have not used Osm tracker, as my only mobile pc is my openmoko.
