'''Nokia N900 offline hitchwiki navigator'''
As the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_N900/ Nokia N900 ] internet tablet reaches dumbphone price levels, it can also make it an option to use as an offline Hitchwiki spot browser in a detailed roadmap. The only difference with the website is that Hw's spot ratings and descriptions are missing for now.

IN SHORT<br>
Advantages:<br>
+ Lightweight hitchhike atlas<br>+ Offline Hitchwiki spots and offline access to Openstreetmap including petrol stations, parkings, street names and many objects.<br>+ Current spot information from Hitchwiki<br>+ Easy to add maps for offline use<br>
+ Forked from Debian, Maemo is the most open source OS on a mobile phone, and still actively supported by the Maemo community
Disadvantages:<br>
- Max. 1400 Mah battery available. Spare batteries are recommended for longer trips<br>- Slower lookup compared to paper due to its 3,5" screen<br>
- Ratings and specifics of Hitchwiki spots are not included. This can be solved by converting the daily xml dump files to .aar, as explained here and open them in Aard dictionary. I'm still looking at this.
