I have a nokia n810 which I have used on foot to edit a map in the middle of the day.
I used osm2go: http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/osm2go/ Which is actively developed, and lets you pick an area, download the osm data for it, make offline changes (with the gps on) and then upload it later. While you walk around, it draws your current position, and a trace. If you are the sort of person who likes buying toys, then you might want to consider it (though I suspect it will be superseded soon, as the sdk for the next version is being distributed now - so if you wait a bit, then either you can get it cheaper, or get a newer shinier thing). The gps in it isn't great, but it does the job (it can take a while to get a lock). The screen is awesome (800x480, but fits in your pocket, and is transflective, so instead of washing out the screen, some of the sunlight is reflected back to work like a backlight. If you are a programmer, then you probably want one of these, otherwise, take my enthusiasm for it and halve it :) Andy On Wed, 2009-05-20 at 15:07 -0700, delta_foxt...@yahoo.com wrote: > --- On Wed, 20/5/09, ed...@billiau.net <ed...@billiau.net> wrote: > > I've tried something like this in the car but daylight is > > too bright to > > see anything on the computer screen, and my sunglasses > > don't have a > > reading correction built in. > > You could get something like the Panasonic Toughbook which is designed to be > used outdoors and in coal mines, but I'm trying to do everything on a smart > phone. > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > 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
