| Mapping with a Smartphone, GPS or Paper | ||
| ============================= | ||
|
|
||
| More and more smartphones today include a radio chip that allows them to | ||
| receive signals from satellite navigation systems and determine their | ||
| location. The most common chips receive signals from the U.S. GPS | ||
| frequencies, while higher end models may include chips that can read | ||
| frequencies from the Russian GLONASS satellites at the same time. | ||
|
|
||
| The quality of the chips used in smartphones may vary, and data accuracy | ||
| and performance could vary as well. | ||
|
|
||
| Devices with GPS chips can work autonomously, off the grid, and without | ||
| an Internet connection, while devices marked with “A-GPS only” (Assisted | ||
| GPS) require a network data connection (and a mobile signal from a | ||
| telecommunications company) to work correctly. A-GPS data can help | ||
| autonomous GPS chips perform better by pre-caching data for better | ||
| performance. | ||
|
|
||
| For most mapping applications to work as expected, the user is assumed | ||
| to have a smartphone with an autonomous GPS chip. Check your device | ||
| specifications to confirm whether your device uses an autonomous chip, | ||
| or is A-GPS only device. | ||
|
|
||
| There are a lot of mapping applications available (for free or paid) for | ||
| most smartphones in the market. Each app has its own advantages and | ||
| disadvantages. | ||
|
|
||
| In choosing a mapping application for mapping in OpenStreetMap, you need | ||
| to consider the following features. | ||
|
|
||
| - Easy to learn; immediately usable | ||
| - With GPX support (create waypoints, customizable log intervals) | ||
| - Allows OSM contribution (add, edit, upload data) | ||
| - Able to load OSM data offline | ||
| - Able to geo-tag multimedia files (notes, photos, videos) | ||
| - In active development | ||
|
|
||
| Try several applications that are compatible with your phone to get | ||
| familiar with the interface and choose the best app based on your | ||
| personal preference and mapping approach. | ||
