[talk-au] iPhone OSM street naming apps

2012-09-16 Thread Brett Russell
Hi

Might have asked this question before but maybe something has come. Has anyone 
used an iPhone app to name streets on the ground with OSM. My memory, spelling 
and note taking rather average so be good to have ability to read from the sign 
and enter this directly into OSM. 

Cheers

Take photos? I don't have an iPhone, but I believe the iPhone will geotag
photos with both location and compass direction. JOSM will open the photos
as a new layer and when you click on a photo will display the direction as
an arrow. Even without a compass direction, geotagged photos are still a
good survey method.

I used to survey using a camera (Ricoh 500SE with GPS and compass), but now
I use an Android phone and Vespucci (note - I'm one of the Vespucci
developers).

Have you looked at this page?: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Apple_iOS
