I am a new user of openstreetmaps, I did some changes, and today I have downloaded this file “south_africa_and_lesotho.osm.bz2”
How do I convert it to work on my android galaxy S I phone.
Thank You
You cannot use raw OSM data simply on your phone.
Have a look at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Android and try some apps!
When these apps try to load map data from any server, be sure to have a WLAN connection instead a UMTS connection, because converted map files can be still very big.
I am using Navfree, did download maps, but I make some changes on openstreetmaps, and did downlad the osm file, I want to know how can I use the osm file in navfree, or how to convert it to work with navfree
That is a matter of the Navfree guys!
Ask them how often they produce their map files that you can download … or ask whether a converter for own use is available, similar to OsmAnd Mapcreator.
Also have a look at http://help.openstreetmap.org/ and do a search there for Navfree … there are several topics about it!
