OpenStreetMap 開放街圖
Have tried using JOSM on the Eeepc 701 netbook, seems to work nicely.
I mapped West Perth using the Eeepc based on street addresses, collecting business information in a openoffice spreadsheet. You can see the results at www.mineraldata.com.au under the West Perth Business Map section.
I think for taking down street numbers JOSM and the eeepc may not be the easiest method, the old pen and paper method with a print out of building outlines is probably easier and quicker.
However for recording a lot of business names (often long), bus stops, post offices, public phones car parks etc etc JOSM, wireless internet, livegps and a usbGPS might be a good and cheap setup. I have yet to try livegps but the usbGPS and internet connection would be optional as long as building outlines & address are already in OSM.
I also see that there is a wikipage on Asus Eee osm.wiki/Asus_EEE.
Would be curious to know if anyone has any success with a setup like this.
In my experience I found it do-able by cradling the eee in one arm and typing with the other!

I have the same eeePC, and in a few hours one afternoon James and myself managed to do half the street names in Redcliffe, Qld.
However it's best if there is 2 people, it's very difficult doing it by yourself, but still possible.

Cool! Yeah, can be very tiring work, mentally and physically -- I did all my work by myself. Great fun though and the results are rewarding.

I have used the eeepc 701 for JOSM
but not for live mapping
out in the bright sunlight I can't see the screen
I have a tiny gps stuck to a point and shoot camera which does keep good time and take photos of anything and everything, then geotag them.

I tended to map in the mornings and afternoons, even at night in lit up retail areas. Also maped on the shady side of the street as much as possible. But, yeah I found the same, on sunny day shade is needed to see the screen.
The battery life was usually 3-4 hrs, allowed for a break (lunch) while charging. Two batteries would be more effecient.
