Hi, I would like to edit the OSM map when I am outdoors. The article on Editing gives some ideas, but I would like to know if anybody is actually having a working solution in use. This could range from a mobile phone with e.g. GpsMid to maybe a small tablet PC with JOSM and livegps JOSM plugin. Thanks! UPDATE: Ok, here are some of my requirements: 1) GpsMip-like view:
2) Potlatch-like editing of the OSM map (ideally offline as with JOSM)
3) A device for outdoor use

Vespucci http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Vespucci would seem to cover most of your requirements. From the article on Editing, I also saw that Vespucci and OSM2Go might be good candiates for the software. But I would like to know, if people are really using it, how a complete solution could look like, and what experience people have with such solutions. Furthermore, I wonder why Vespucci is tagged as an "online editor". Does it mean that I have to be connected? (And I still wonder, if JOSM on a tablet with livegps plugin would be a good choice).

I have just tested Vespucci a couple of times, so can't talk from real experience. My understanding is online mens that currently the save function in Vespucci is to upload the changes to OSM. Might be doable to leave the edit open, and (if battery allows) upload the change only when at a WLAN. But that might not work for multiple areas to edit. To use Vespucci in offline mode, I understand Vespucci would need to be modified to store multiple edits to local storage for later upload.

Hi, The current version of ShareNav (which uses the same code base as GpsMid, so has all the features in GpsMid) can connect to GPS on a laptop via gpsd. It (I think I added this already in the most recent version of GpsMid) can also launch potlatch with the appropriate coordinates for in-browser geometry editing. I've been thinking of adding support to launching Vespucci with the right coordinates, but that might require changes to Vespucci also. These apparently don't offer offline editing, though. As for devices - if you use Android, ShareNav can be gotten directly from Google Play store, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sharenav.sharenav.ui , and for java SE / J2ME you can download from the SourceForge site at https://sourceforge.net/projects/sharenav/ Jyrki Thanks. Sounds interesting. I will have a look.

Hi Jyrki, I am happy to see that GpsMid/ShareNav development is continued. However, for my specific purpose I would need a more powerful mobile offline editor which ShareNav obvioulsy is not. Thanks anyway, Nachtspazz

Hi, ShareNav doesn't have offline editing at the moment, but that would be doable with the architecture to postpone edit updates (http uploads) for later. For Android, the tag editing UI needs improvement. Would doing these two things (offline & UI improvement) and perhaps adding some presets cover your needs, or do you require the more advanced things like way splitting & joining & geometry editing? If so, probably best is Vespucci, though It also does not seem to have an offline mode; not sure of delayed upload. As for devices, Samsung has some devices with a pen e.g. in the Note line.

Hi,
UPDATE: OSM Wiki provides a fix ("problems with IPv6 record for api.openstreetmap.org"). I got an N900 and installed OSM2go. And it works! It seems that this is exactly what I wanted to have. I will give it a try. Cheers! |
Could you specify what kind of editing you want to do. Adding a POI as a node has completely different requirements than e.g. adding shapes and tags for 3D buildings.
I wonder e.g. if I should get a Nokia N800 from ebay and install Osm2go. Does anybody have some experience with that combination?
