Hi. I'm trying to collect POI information en masse in my home town by taking daily walks in different areas each day. I use the program OsmPad to collect housenumbers and it's good for that purpose but I have to stop for awhile when typing in additional information like a housename or construction year. Now I'm trying to collect information about POIs like shops and other amenities; I discovered that it would take an even greater time if I were to use the same method for them, nevermind that OsmPad was not designed for such a massive amount of information.
It started to hit me that I needed a method which would enable me to quickly collect the information and continue with my walk, sorting out the information later, or handing it over for someone else to type in. I started to look into other programs and stumbled upon OSMTracker and noticed a photo feature and a voice recorder. Sadly, I cannot move the cursor around to configure the coordinates. Otherwise it would solve my problem because then I'd be able to take a picture of the entrance and know where on the building it was. When I'm fairly close to buildings, there's a danger of the GPS chip losing contact with satellites and the GPS coordinates to be less accurate. Also, it could be hard for someone else to review my data and know where exactly I'm pointing the camera. What methods do you use? Are there any programs for Android which could fit my needs? With regards, Svavar Kjarrval
