Re: [talk-au] Recommendations for iPhone track logging
My favourite app to record tracks is everytrail. It has a free version that lets you record tracks and add photos and waypoints. The recorded tracks are saved in your personal space at everytrail.com and it's very easy to get a gpx file from there. By default, everytrail uses Google maps but you can change the view to cloudmade (select the "street" map at the "options" menu), opencyclemap (select the "terrain" map), and others.

Hi Ben, I use Trails though no direct OSM upload (which suits me): http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/trails-gps-tracker/id289190494?mt=8 "iLOE" (iPhone Little OpenStreetMap Editor) is a useful little utility too: http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/iloe-openstreetmap-editor/id333224774?mt=8 Gordon -- Gordon Smith http://las.new-england.net.au/ http://theLatestOldNews.wordpress.com/ http://blog.macalba.net/ On 24/04/2011, at 8:30 AM, Ben Kelley wrote: > Hi. > > Does anyone have any recommendations for an iPhone app that can record track > logs easily?

Re: [talk-au] Recommendations for iPhone track logging
(Sorry, I forgot to reply to the list) I use MotionX GPS. It has the choice of Bing and Google maps, as well as OSM maps which can be loaded on to the device for offline use. It allows you to record tracks and waypoints which can then be emailed to wherever as GPX traces.

Re: [talk-au] Recommendations for iPhone track logging
Hi, I've used an App called RunKeeper, which records the route, and auto-uploads to the RunKeeper site, from there they have an export to GPX. The thing I like about RunKeeper is that you can also take photos, etc (of street signs, features, etc), and it will display them on the RunKeeper site. Since RunKeeper displays the route laid over Google Maps, you will want to switch to Satelite view, without labels, to avoid including details from Google. I've used it mostly to collect street names and the like near my area. There are lots of residential streets mapped (presumably arm-chair mapping), but no names. I've also used OSM Track, which is good for displaying the parts of the map that are there. You do not need to be on-line as you pre-populate its database with OSM objects before heading out. Ultimately, the best thing is to try out the available options, and find out what works best for you.

[talk-au] Recommendations for iPhone track logging
Hi. Does anyone have any recommendations for an iPhone app that can record track logs easily? (with a view to uploading them to OSM) I'm looking for something to recommend to people who might be able to collect data in unmapped areas. Being able to display a map is not so important, as this will be mostly in areas that are not mapped, although being able to display the map as it takes shape might be good. Something like OSMTrack looks like it will do the job. http://www.osm4iphone.com/ Has anyone used this? Is there something else that is better? As this may be in out-of-the-way places, the ability to work without an internet connection would be good. - Ben Kelley. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
