That means we could,potentially,contribute to freemap with GPS enabled cell phones if we had a way to *record* the position(and co-ordinates)of landmarks like the device which will be distributed does.So,if we don't want progress on freemap to be restricted by the number of devices[I'm going to call this device MuktTrack] available,we need a software which can be installed on cell phones and records co-ordinates,eh?Then we get the output of that software and convert it to gpx by either this script or gpsbabel,whichever is applicable.Comments please.
is freemap something different from openstreetmap?
well not really it is does use the same technical resources as openstreetmap but we thought naming it freemap was more appropriate.
