3) JOSM already integrates with OSB, and 2) you can probably browse the OSB site on smart phones, and 1) view the OSB site when planning to head out, now if only it was directly integrated on the main OSM website (or something similar) so it was more easily seen by people unable or unwilling to file bugs and a RSS feed that you can supply a bbox for and that would cover a lot.... _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
