Features:

• Contribute to the openstreetmap-project within 4 lines of code
• Asynchronous upload to openstreetmap.org
• Generates tags automatically if non are supplied (like "[font=Courier New]September 2008[/font]")

How it will look like:

This is what the console will show on success:

What you need before:

• A valid OpenStreetMap.org account. Enter it at [font=Courier New]OSMConstants.java[/font]

What you need to change within your application:
0. Download the package attached to this post and put files under "[font=Courier New]...srcorganddevopenstreetmapcontributorutil[/font]" to your desired package (adapt to new package-names)
1. Put this field to your GPS-Enabled Activity:

2. Add the following lines to the Implementation of your [font=Courier New]LocationListener.onLocationChanged(Location loc)[/font]:

3. Modify the onDestroy() of your Activity, to make it similar to this one:


Note: If you haven't already, you might have to add the following uses-permissions/library to your Manifest-File:

Very well done Nicolas!
That's very easy!

Let's hope that this Open Maps version is completely filled with maps very soon.

To accomplish that, any Android developer should add this code into any app they create, to automatically fill every possible road back into OpenMaps, even without the road names.

Other things to do would be getting the road name from Google's Maps, and inserting it into OpenStreetMaps.
This is the hardest thing to fill: the beginning and end of a road's name.
I think this use of the Maps API would be in compliance with the ToS, isn't it?

OpenStreetMaps will be a great substitute to Maps

Nice Job!

I was thinking about contributing to Openstreetmap, now i can buy me a G1 AND Contributing!

this is just great!!

Yeah, unfortunately this is explicitly forbidden by the Google Maps API

I hope that the OpenStreetMap-Project can still gain a lot using these "unnamed" maps.

I'll maybe write a small service upon the code tonight, that the user can toggle on/off contribution with a really small gui. That would be a free 'app' of course.

brilliant super cool !!!

user-gen maps belong to everyone
why should Navteleteqatlas expensively drive around trying to keep their map data up to date
when every navigation system user could implicitly collect, verifiy and enhance that data all the time!??
a true navi "gets better the more people use it"

keep up the good work!

Yeah, I'm also fed up with errors in highway in/outs, non-mapped streets, etc. in these commercial maps.

I'm glad to see more interest in OSM! Although, this is really only half the effort. From what I gather from this code, you're basically creating a GPX file, and uploading your GPS points into the OSM database.

This won't magically make new streets appear on the map - but you can use the editors and show all the GPS information that people have uploaded, and can use that as a guide to create streets (and all the metadata important for routing - like 1-way info, etc...)

I think what would also help the project is if everyone goes to http://www.openstreetmap.org/ looks up their neighborhood, and uses the "edit" function to spend 15 minutes on the map to clean up the locations they typically encounter each day. If you hit "G" in the editor - it will show all the GPS data that you, and others have uploaded for that part of the map.

It's fun. And addictive!

Hi there,

unfortunately the average user is not really interested in going to openstreetmap.org and adding names to the streets. I.e. in my AndNav application the user will have the possibility to enter login-data for his own account and so edit his uploaded routes later on.

Hello,

I tried using this sample. But when I upload-I get an OSM Upload Error with code Java.Lang.RuntimeException 410 Gone.

I am using this url-

Destination Url: http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.5/gpx/create

Am I using the wrong url?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

great

I tried next version 0.6, http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/gpx/create

That seems to work, as it prompts for login info.
