GPS-Trail is one of the applications that runs on the Openmoko Phones. For a list of all applications, visit Applications
http://www.openstreetmap.org/ is a map, contributed to by users.
All that is required is a GPS with the ability to log tracks. (or other means of positioning)
These tracks are later annotated using either personal knowledge, or notes taken at the time, to add roads, canals, or other features to the map. (They cannot be copied from commercial maps, as this is a breach of copyright and or terms and conditions).
The Neo1973 GPS is quite adequate for this.
This article defines the OpenStreetMap Application, an application designed for the Openmoko platform. This is a Native Finger-Based application.
Not Interested | Not a participent | Wants to use the application as a simple way of generating KMZ, or other GPS tagged information, such as points of interest, or tracks, perhaps including voice notes. |
Advanced mapper | Wants credit | Specifically makes journeys for the purpose of mapping, taking voice or other notes as they go along |
Basic mapper | Willing to help, but wants anonymity | Will select mode of transport they are using at any time - car, bike, train, may occasionally enter placenames either by voice notes or keyboard. |
Helper | Willing to turn on application, wants anonymity | Willing to contribute only if they don't have to do anything |

For the advanced user, replacing this application with an integrated mapping editor, to enable viewing and editing of the existing openstreetmap would be of use.
This will need to interact with the GPS preferences application.
Exact borderlines between GPS applications are not quite trivial.
Each application should be as small as possible, but if a feature greatly bloats an application, it may be better to leave it out or split off into another application.
As I see it - this application,GPS Connection Status have a large degree of commonality - it may be of use to merge at least basic functionality of this application into GPS Connection Status.
Also, a seperate mapping tool may be of use, rather than bloating this one.
