Some small applications, which can't display OSM map, but maybe useful for mapping.

AFTrack [114] (Symbian OS, $32)
creates tracks, shows speed, altitude. Exports in a number of formats.
GETrack [115] (Java ME, $13.99)
logs your location at a variety of intervals. Exports the data in a number of formats, including GPX on some Nokia phones.
gpspys60 [116] (Symbian OS/Python)
dumps the NMEA-0183 lines into a file that works with most bluetooth GPS receiver.
Loadstone (Symbian OS)
a useful navigational tool for everyone, it is particularly useful for blind and visually impaired people using screen readers.
LocateMe (Java ME)

Navlet [117] (Java ME)
shows current position, HDOP value, live NMEA data and sends SMS.
Nokia Location Tagger [118] (Symbian OS)
can geotag photos on some Nokia phones.
PyS60Editor (Symbian OS/Python)
an OSM editor.
trakkcor [119] (Java ME)

JavaME Midlets on Windows Mobile

(including Windows CE)

In the table above we have many Java-Midlets that can handle OSM-Data. These midlets are running not in Java, but in Java Micro Edition (JavaME).

The phoneME project is Sun Microsystems reference implementation of Java virtual machine and associated libraries of Java ME with source, licensed under the GNU General Public License.

There is an adaption of phoneME for devices with Windows Mobile at http://www.cs.kuleuven.ac.be/~davy/phoneme/

Since release "2009-01-03: pMEF rev 16539" the author included support for the JSR179 (the Location API). You can define your specific COM-port through a configuration file called lapi.cfg.

Anyone who managed to run an OSM-related midlet on a Windows Mobile device can help when he lists his succesful combination of software and hardware here:
