I'd like to find an application that would let me "check in" to different locations using OSM data or letting me improve it, while posting a picture of the map area where I am to services like identi.ca or Facebook. If anyone here uses FourSquare or Gowalla, that's what I'd like to have. Maverick for Android lets me share a snapshot and corresponding civic address, plus link to a map, which is the closest I have found, but I wanted to know if other apps for Android do anything similar to this. I don't have much time to test the impressive list at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Android and itmay not be an exhaustive list so I wanted to ask here first. Any suggestions are welcome. asked 20 Jul '10, 14:14 MagicFab aseerel4c26 ♦ |
You have two separate problems :
The second one is easily answered using Openlayers. If you feel enthusiastic, you can even write a little Facebook application based on that ! The first one can be answered by scraping Latitude's data on your Google Latitude "badge". I wrote a little script for that which I run from Cron :

Tx. Jean-Mark but I am really looking for an "end-user" answer,. not "developer". I am surprised this was even voted down - so be it :(

There are several options besides Maverick: 1- www.opentouchmap.org from your Android's browser. It will detect your location and "share" it with the integrated sharing service of Android. You can mail it to an e-mail, facebook account, twitter, etc. etc. 2.- gvSIG mini is an navigation app. Long-touch the screen and you'll see a "share" icon to send the link of your location with a OSM map link. It also uses www.opentouchmap.org 3.- OSMAndroid. Lets you to create an OpenStreetBug to ask people to improve the map at that point. answered 18 Oct '10, 10:29 temporalista |
There's a Perl module too: http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/dist/Geo-Google-Latitude - again, this is coder stuff. It'd be neat if someone could do the brainwork so we plebs can bask in our stalkable OSM goodness. answered 06 Jan '11, 22:33 andygates |
Maybe you could expand a bit on what you want? I've played around with FourSquare and Gowalla and know what they do, however while they are "geolocation services", I'm not quite sure if I see a possible direct connection to "OSM data".
