	remote editing with handheld by Kenneth Gonsalves-2 :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message hi I was looking at this demo, and was wondering how effective it is. http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcpad/demos.html Does any one have experience of editing maps with hand held devices? Are there any open source projects for this? What about accuracy and usability? -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Senior Project Officer NRC-FOSS http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@... http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Are > there any open source projects for this? What about accuracy and > usability? -- I do all of my OSM work on my Acer Aspire One netbook. It's not a handheld, but it is small. I've never used it out in the field, but I do take it with me whenever I travel, then I can dump data from the GPS and do some OSM work when I'm in the hotel, or cafe or wherever. The screen is a limiting factor (1024x600 resolution) but JOSM is usable. I think it could be used 'out and about', but it would be awkward. A tablet would be easier to carry and use. To be honest though I prefer carrying the GPS ($150) and a (paper) notebook ($1) and pen ($1). Of course, you could get one of these: http://www.ikegps.com/prodLine1000.aspx Best wishes, Andrew _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@... http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

I have a Nokia n810 and have used OSM2Go, though the internal GPS isn't very good (no external antenna). _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@... http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

	Re: remote editing with handheld by Arlindo Pereira :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message I have used N800 with an bluetooth external GPS. It's good for quickly adding roads and POIs, but for anything bigger than this it get's too complicated and sluggish. 2009/11/10 Kenneth Gonsalves <lawgon@...> On Tuesday 10 Nov 2009 9:30:25 am Alex S. wrote: > Kenneth Gonsalves wrote: > > Does any one have experience of editing maps with hand held devices? > > Are there any open source projects for this?
