Re: [talk-au] OSM Client for Symbian?
Got it working ok although it chews up quite a bit of memory.. Can mark waypoints but not sure how to translate that to POI's. Excellent application though - and good to see it is still under development. I hope it gets ported across to Maemo. Jason Stirk wrote: I remember there was something odd about it, but I don't remember how I fixed it. You may need to go into Development Menu and select the option talking about using the Jsr179. I have a sneaking suspicion that I needed to restart the app after that, but I don't remember. If it works, you should see 1 device under the GPS menu. Hope this helps.

Re: [talk-au] OSM Client for Symbian?
thanks for that.. so a 'waypoint' is used for POI contribution? The OSM maps also have bike and walking trails which Google Maps and Nokia Maps don't so for my purposes I actually require mobile OSM tomorrow. Nokia Sports Tracker can save and export tracks to kml so I may just use that for traces as I will have it on anyway.

Even better, turn on the GPX stream feature and it'll write your trace to a GPX file in real time, so if it crashes it can resume/restore the data. I find it's generally a quite solid app, if a little resource hungry. My main problem is that my phone runs out of memory and starts randomly closing things if I try to do too much.

Re: [talk-au] Fwd: [OSM-talk] How to tag giant acorn?
could be the Java implementation on my installation. I don't mind terribly much - I can use my desktop PC if I need to - but I just like the idea of live GPS trackign and POI tagging (if this is possible). For example - miss a traffic light and pop it on the map or whatever - or a road change.

I thought it was underclocked but /proc/cpuinfo states cpu MHz: 897.8 so I guess it's not under clocked but I didn't do anything I can think of that would have upped the clock speed, maybe changing from xandros to debian did it. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
Re: [talk-au] Fwd: [OSM-talk] How to tag giant acorn?
how much better? I have heard kernel tuning can make a substantial difference... Maybe this is worth considering for the netbook - but I hear Debian is very conservative and slow to update with new applications? And would the eeePC branch work on an MSI Wind? Their basically identical as far as I can tell.

I don't know if this is relevent to you or not, but unlike Ubuntu, Debian has an eeePC branch with kernel patches applied from the Asus eeePC repositories which makes the eeePCs function better than running a stock kernel. http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/HowTo/Install http://debian-eeepc.alioth.debian.org/ ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
Re: [talk-au] Fwd: [OSM-talk] How to tag giant acorn?
I have merkaartor - does this have similar capaiblity to JOSM? How have you found it? Evan Sebire wrote: I use Merkaartor on my laptop and are happy with the speed. Its a C++ app so appears more responsive than JOSM on my laptop. http://www.merkaartor.org/ There are packages for ubuntu or you can compile from source if you have the Qt libraries installed.
