To keep things simple, is it possible to digitize using an iPhone? Long live OpenStreetMap! |

I finally got it: iLOE, like "iOS Little Openstreetmap Editor", at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/ILOE From that page: "iLOE can add, update or move nodes and edit tags from ways. The application offers following functions: Localize your position. Search for any city (worldwide). Move the search target on the map. Download the nodes and ways around your or any position. Edit, delete and insert tags in a node or a way. Create or move a node. Upload the node and tags to OpenStreetMap." more discussion on slashGeo at http://slashgeo.org/2011/06/07/Whats-best-iOS-App-contributing-OpenStreetMap (also a track recorder there for instance) HTH, Hervé |

As far as I know, there are no IOS tools for drawing inside OSM. The most popular iOS app for OpenStreetMap is Mapzen POI Collector. This program can be used to record or edit individual POIs on the road. There are other apps mentioned on the wiki, but none of them can draw anything other than POIs (nodes). The main two most popular OSM editors which can be used to edit OSM are Potlatch and Josm. Potlatch is a Flash application which can be accessed by going to the main site openstreetmap.org and clicking Edit. Josm is the second most popular editor, which is written in Java, designed for desktop use. You can get a copy of Josm at josm.openstreetmap.de. Until the iPad and its large screen, there hasn't been much need to edit OSM data that's more complex than points. And sadly, I suspect, because of the limited nature of the audience, there isn't likely to be a more complex editing application for iOS any time soon, especially considering the fact that OSM is such a Free/Open Source based project, and Apple's App Store cannot accept programs under the most common FLOSS license, the GPL. But I may be wrong, especially if iOS supports Flash in the future. |
Can you elaborate what you mean by "digitize using an iPhone"?
It's a GIS term. How we draw the main features: Points, lines, and polygons. etc.
one of the most anyoing things about the iphone is the lack of flash
Now, I unwillingly wait for iPhone 5. Let's pray they install them.
This is an older question, but I think a clearer way of asking the same question is: "how can I edit OSM with my iPhone?" See that question for my more up-to-date answer
