Thank gods for Mapzen POI Collector
פורסם על־ידי Skippern ב־24 באוגוסט 2011 בEnglish. עודכן לאחרונה ב־26 באוגוסט 2011.I'm sitting in a hotel in Rio waiting for the third day in a raw, I have one more day of waiting after this. The waiting time have been spent sitting in the room watching BBC World about what happens in Libya, and walking around the area around the hotel gathering points with Mapzen POI Collector. Rio is getting well covered, but luckily for me it was a slightly blank spot around my hotel, so a few points could be added.
There are two things that could have been better when waiting like this.
1) I could have a mobile with internet capabilities, for example as I am thinking of getting myself a Nextel, I could have a Blackberry with internet subscription. That way I could upload Mapzen POIs on the go instead of returning to the hotel. That wouod allow me to do longer walks, and gather more points (and in fourscuare as well?)
2) I could get myself a new notebook computer again, allowing me to work effectively with JOSM and Bing tracings, edit .SVG icons, and actively edit on the wiki. The tablet is not a good platform for these kinds of work. JOSM don't run on my iPad, and as far as I know, no software for iPad allows editing .SVG, and wiki editing is difficult, specially on large sections (though possible)
I guess it will be some time before I can work more effective like this, but if I get to work focused extra like it looks now, than maybe I can start doing something about it in not to distant future?
