Schaep en Burgh again with the HTC!

Posted by Hans van Wijk on 2 November 2008 in English.

Hi, I'm back after a while. Today I used my new HTC Touch Pro (Raphael) for tracing with OSMtracker and it worked fine, with it's own build in GPS radio. The tile loading works perfectly. I now see all the changes I made to the map, but I still don't get a trace from my walks.

Another thing you have to take into consideration, if you're planing on buying this device, is the poor performance of the display when the sun is out! The reflection of the hard glass-like display surface is huge! You constantly are looking at your own reflection; nice if you want to comb your hair, but terrible of you want do tracing, but the end results are satisfying I must say. It's nice to walk with such a relatively small device; especially if you come from a HP iPaq 4700 HX refridgerator.

I did Schaep en Burgh again and because now about 40% of the leaves have fallen down, I did get a much better trace, although not top nodge yet. I'd say I have a 60% accuracy now. I did get in some new paths though and could locate two bridges with enough credibility to their locations. In a couple of weeks I'm going in again.
