Ok, thanks. I've added a quick-and-dirty about box with all the info
(the icon overlay on the map requires more work, since shrinking the
icon to a reasonable size turns it into a random cluster of pixels).
May I just suggest to add a URL redirector at
http://openstreetmap.org/Attrib
that points to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Attribution?
The latter is really long for a mobile device, it needs wrapping for
rendering and wrapping is not aesthetically pleasing.
Thanks.
