OpenStreetMap
I tried to do some more mapping today, but it looks like my Nokia (6120 Classic) is kind of dead. It did the same thing it did the other day — crashed with an "out of memory" error and erased my work — so I figure I'm either going to have to work out what's causing the problem or fork out millions to upgrade my handset.
I started taking street names in the little pocket of un-mapped Algester. I noticed a few of my waypoints took, so I'll work out what I've still got, and go back another time. I'm still massively annoyed at Symbian, Nokia, and the universe in general.

I sympathise. My nokia 6680 on Symbian used to crash quite a lot too. :( It seems that smartphones can never do anything "smart" reliably. Windows mobile isn't a huge improvement. :( I think my next phone is likely to be Android or iPhone. I may end up carrying two GPS logging devices. Better accuracy and backup. Good luck recovering stuff.

Thanks. I've done a factory reset which is supposed to format & reinstall everything. There's stuff there that wasn't removed, so I don't know whether it's fixed it or not. That remains to be seen.

I have an old Nokia (without a tracker) so I went along to the local shop for advice on updating my hardware. The guy said: "Don't update; your model is very reliable, the modern ones are flimsy in comparison".
So off I went and bought a Garmin GPSmap 60CSx (recommended by OSM) as a dedicated tracker. Luckily it was the right decision.
