How This is not how it works. You don't turn a tracklog directly into a OSM street, so this problem is avoided. 1. Walk around, with gps tracking on. 2. Using one of several possible apps, display the track on the PC, and download whatever OSM data there is for the region already. 3. So now you see some OSM data (if there were any) and your gps track on the screen. The next step then, is to draw roads using your track as a guideline. You will see where you backtracked, but you will of course draw that road only once. Your track will curve at intersections, but if you remember that the roads met at 90 degrees, then you draw them that way. 4. You also add any other information that you remember or wrote down. Such as street names, type of road, and so on. If you had several logs, then you just load all of them at the same time and draw more road lines. > Essentially I'm trying to understand how burdensome (or not) it can > become for a simple sightseeing to also do tracking. OSM mapping isn't complicated. You decide how much time you want to spend on it. You can draw just roads, roads with names, or even add all sorts of features like mailboxes, housenumbers, parks, parking lots... If drawing road lines becomes too much of a burden for you, just upload the traces to osm and hope that someone else will use them for drawing. A problem with this approach is that others won't know how the track was recorded, so they might make a wrong road where you crossed a lawn and things like that.

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 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?

Re: How to use Google Map on tangoGPS
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. I guess that doesn't really help you with your current problem, however, but hopefully you'll work something out.

Hi. You can also use the Yahoo imagery (both on tango and gvSIG Mobile) as an alternative to Google. For urban areas, the Yahoo imagery is very nice too. What is your area of interest?

Re: How to use Google Map on tangoGPS
You may have been blacklisted from Google's servers - downloading just the tiles is frowned upon in Mountain View and they block IPs that do so. You're _supposed_ to access Google Maps only through the web API.
