Hello there,
recently i bought a Samsung SGH-i550 mobile phone with integrated GPS (i know: very old fashioned but cheap)
Does anybody have some experience how to put OSM on it?
Do i need additional software to use OSM? Do i hacve to convert the maps before? Do i have to update the firmware on the mobile first?
Due to the phone is quite old i couldn’t find something helpful in the internet so far - something like a manual for OSM on a Samsung i550.
Any help would be very nice! 
Hi Uli,
what exactly do you want to use OSM on your phone for.
What OS is running on it?
If you answer these Questions i probably can help you better.

This phone here? http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i550-2115.php
It is running Symbian operating system. So there are some apps for using OSM maps on it.
Some listed here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Symbian
sorry - more information would be good - you’re right.
its the phone vclaw posted.
OS:
Symbian S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1 software
I would like to see the osMap and show my position. navigate would be nice too.
i have to admit i’m a very beginner in navigation as well as in mobile phones. so sorry for the maybe bad understanding (and english. 
).
i read about afTrack (as vaclaw written too). i think i will try to install the programm on my phone. i read it shows the maps as a bitmap and not as vectors. are there disadvantages?
i think after installing the programm i have to convert the maps i can download from osm into a format afTrack can read (which you can recommend?).
can i use “Gebabbel” on Linux for that?
after converting, does the mobile recognize the maps automatically? probably not.
do you know if there is a manual how i can get these maps running on my phone, so you do not have to explain every single step for me?
i cant find any…
thanks for your information and help so far…
Edit:
oh right: i want to use the maps offline (without internet connection) !! the mobile does have a gps reciever inside…
