Re: [OSM-talk] Using OSM Maps on a Nokia Phone without online updates?
Hi, thanks for the tip! The program works with my Nokia, but it looks like you have to compile the whole program every time if you want to update the map data. o_O Sorry but that makes it totally unusable in this case. I need to have a setup that is also usable by my dad. I can explain him to download a file and use it to replace an old one on a storage card... but if I try to explain him that he has to compile something no way. Maybe that is a cool tool if you want to start a business (as some people did in the Apple-App-Store) to sell OpenStreetMap maps for a phone, or if you have to install the same map data on several phones. But not usable in my case :-/ even if i like the idea to have a search function for POIs, addresses and everything else stored in OSM. cu AssetBurned On 24.03.2010, at 18:45, Graham Jones wrote: Gpsmid is quite a good solution for phones with java (J2ME).

Re: [OSM-talk] Using OSM Maps on a Nokia Phone without online updates?
I think you are right. The map data is stored in a jar file - it can be a different one to the program though. There seem to be two classes of mobile OSM applications - some are like this with static map data. Others use live data, which means you need a network connection to use it. A mixture of the two would be good - it downlods data to a cache when a network is available, and uses the cache when it is not. Does anyone know of an application that works this way?

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

Out of the other apps that I have tried on my S80 nokia (a 9310i) whereAmI did seem the best suited. Not sure if it's still in active development though. k.

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

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). WhereAmI is exactly what you are looking for. Did you follow the www.symbianos.org/whereamiusersguide ? A friend of mine successfully downloaded data from an asian country just two weeks ago. You can select the data that you want to download beforehand using the handy map selector: www.symbianos.org/osmtileselector Claudius ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
Re: [OSM-talk] Using OSM Maps on a Nokia Phone without online updates?
Another one to maybe throw into the pot might be Mgmaps (http://www.mgmaps.com/). That can just about work with downloaded data (I used Kosmos to generate the tiles) as well as working online if you want it to (when you're back home). Depending on the zoom level it can take quite a large amount of storage to store tiles for a relatively small area, so if you're travelling around it might not be ideal. I can't vouch for it on an N82 although a web search suggests that people might have got it working there. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
