GeorgeMap

It has been proposed that this page be deleted or replaced by a redirect. See the discussion page for further information.
The given reason is: Source code or binaries are not available. It seems that this application was an idea which has never been implemented completely. --Nakaner (talk) 10:14, 4 February 2025 (UTC).

GeorgeMap is an application for the Windows Mobile PDA/Pocket PC. Its main purpose (at the moment) is to fill in missing street names where the streets have already been traced.

Features

GPS Support (using WM GPS driver)
Display OSM tiles from MapNik, OSMARender, CycleMap or CloudMade
Query OSM for streets and nodes in the visible area
Displays unnamed streets in red, named ones in green (and ones named by you in lighter green so you can see the difference you are making)
Can query GPS points (although until I add node editing, that is kind of useless)
Program can check for newer versions and automatically install them (if you ask it to...)
Multi-threaded - tiles /data are downloaded in the background, as are uploads of changes.
Ability to name unnamed streets (or change the name of existing ones)
Offline edit model - edits are held in the phone until you choose to sync them. This is needed because mobile coverage is not 100%
Split / join ways (join dosent quite always work properly yet)
Current GPS trail overlaid on map so you can see where you have been (plan to upload trails to OSM in near future)
