NaviPOWM Displays current position on a OSM based map. Records track data in NMEA format. (GPL)
Bluemapia Mobile (sourceforge) Windows Mobile (PDA and Smartphone) free and open source client for bluemapia.com. GPS Chart Navigator for outdoor activities supporting several maps including OSM. Records track data in NMEA and GPX format. (GPL)
OSMtracker (GPLv3, PocketPC and SmartPhone)
BT747 (GPLv3) to talk to MTK loggers - possibility to log special waypoints on 'Mobile Platforms' like the PDA and the Java Phone.
GeorgeMap (BSD) Displays OSM tiles, with nodes / ways overlaid. Currently can edit way name tag / split ways and upload back to server. GPS Support.
RoadMap ( http://roadmap.sourceforge.net/ ) Development has started again and merged some of the features from RoadMap Editor. Support for OSM is ongoing, no route planning yet (GPL >=v2 license) Not yet available as a download for window mobile.
RoadMap Editor ( http://www.freemap.co.il/roadmap/ ) - based on Roadmap sources, still in development by Ehud Shabtai, available for Linux/GTK2 ,Windows mobile, Windows XP and J2ME devices, localization possible through plain-text language file, route planning, built in map editor. (GPL >=v2 license) Not yet available as a download for window mobile.
Gosmore - will log a gpx trace, and allow you to add OSM features, as well as displaying the map, and performing routing.
Gpsmid can be run on Windows Mobile / CE devices, see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Software/Mobilephones#JavaME_Midlets_on_Windows_Mobile
Navit cross-platform Windows/Linux/iphone/WinMobile application with offline (!) routing http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Navit_on_WinCE/Windows_Mobile

Noncommercial

BSGPSPDA (out now and contributing to the map)
VisualGPSce (visualgps.net) form VisualGPS llc. save datas as nmea logs.
Noni GPSPlot Moving-Map, GPX export. Map download tool for Openstreetmap available.
TurboGPS Fast all in one GPS tool. Moving maps custom or online, tracks, waypoint, there is a PC and Windows Mobile Version. Map Download tool for Openstreetmap available.
PTGMAP Moving / Rotating Map / Tracklog, GPS Navigation. By using Mkgmap you can create an .img file and load it to PTGMAP. You can define Hardware Buttons to create a waypoint at the current position. This is really helpful for OSM tracking.
Cachebox - for Windows Mobile 5 Professional (PDA). Geocaching software that uses OSM tiles for displaying the map.
OfflineCacher - for Windows Mobile Standard (Smartphone). Geocaching software that uses OSM tiles for displaying the map.
NaviComputer for WindowsMobile with Ver. 6.1 or above, needs .NET Compact Framework 3.5, tile download for each zoom level from many sources like OSM or others, also for offline-use when no internet connection is available, save tracklogs in GPX format. The app has been blocked for Tile Abuse (though maybe not the latest version Anyone know?)
Mobbyway for WindowsMobile with Ver. 6.1 or above, needs .NET Compact Framework 3.5. French solution to upload tracklogs in GPX format and more.
OpenMobileMaps Description needed , needs .NET Compact Framework 3.5

Gobiz Mobile ([46]) Display and save OpenStreetMap for offline use! georeference your photos, videos, audio, poi's, tracks; view your tracks in Google Earth in 3D with 3D data types; runs on Windwos Mobile 5.x, 6.x (~upon request ???)
GPS-Mate (gps-mate.com) Display the OpenStreetMap and other - even georeference your own - topographic maps; record, manage, plan and export GPS tracks (various formats); available for Windows Mobile PDA + Windows CE PNA's + Windows PC; English/German (~23 ???)
Glopus (glopus.de) 3D map, track log etc., only german (Shareware, 20 ???)
GPS Data Logger 2005 (geoaps.com) (commercial, $ 70)
GPSGate (franson.com) will record a GPS log, and will also allow you to share one GPS between several GPS applications running at the same time. (commercial, US$ 30)
BeeLine GPS (visualgps.net/BeeLineGPS) Also has a log recording function. (Shareware, US $ 30)
GPSDash (wimobi.com/gpsdash) (Shareware, 23 ??? ~ 27.6 $)
Navio (tinystocks.com/gps) (Shareware, 23 ??? ~ 24.9 $) I have found it quite practical and reliable for OSM tracking (on an iPaq 6915). Logs are in NMEA format. You have to buy a licence to make logs. Waymarking facilities are poor. Can display position on a downloaded PDF or JPEG map image but I haven't tested that.
CartoType (cartotype.com) - Available now for Windows, Windows Mobile, Symbian OS, and Palm OS 5. CartoType is owned and developed by Graham Asher of Cartography Ltd
Run.GPS (rungps.net) (Shareware, 25.95 ??? ~ 33.99 $) is a software for Windows Mobile Pocket PCs and Smartphones that can sync multiple tracks directly to OSM through WiFi, GPRS or UMTS
GPS Tuner (gpstuner.com) ( $34 - With one-year free upgrade ) Can download directly OSM maps or use the free Map Calibrator.
MioMap/IGO My way (mio-tech.be) Quite expensive, depending on the maps you buy. But if you already have this software, it can record tracks and export them as GPX.
OziExplorerCE ($ 95 / ??? 69 for life-time license). Runs on various handheld devices starting with Windows CE 3 through Windows Mobile 6+ and CE.net. An unregistered version will require manual GPS communication restart every 20 or 10 minutes. Can be used with any raster map - scanned or converted. Track logs and POIs are compatible with GPSBabel. The GPS recordings will be in NMEA format. If you need the recorded track as a GPX file (for example when you want to upload the recorded tracks directly to the OSM-server) have a look at Converting NMEA to GPX .

Further details can be found on Making_Tracks_with_Homebrew-ware#Windows_Mobile.

PathAway ([47]) (Commercial, Standard $60) - For Windows Mobile, Symbian, PalmOS. Can directly download OSM maps ($95 Professional version only), or use your own raster maps using the calibration tool. Can record tracks and export them as GPX.
odgps (outdoor-gps.de) GPX track logging, Waypoint navigation and Statistics. Also german manual.

I have quite good experience with this program. Only after 60 to 90 min., the memory fills up, so I save, restart and go on. Works

Well with 240x240 screen resolution. --Georg 07:09, 28 April 2007 (BST)

Moved here from Freeware, because it has become shareware ... but with a reasonable price --Chaosben 13:05, 10 September 2010 (BST)

Using OSM data

BSGPSPDA Freeware - tracks your position on downloaded Osmarender tiles (zoom 10 to 17). See instantly missing ways/POI's etc. Records tracks in GPX and voice recorded waypoint/PIO descriptions.

PocketMV is a shareware program which will display Garmin img files on a Windows Mobile device, and then if you have a GPS connected will display your position on the map. It features a search facility allowing you to search for roads and points of interest. Suitable img files can be created using Mkgmap. The following image shows a screen shot from an HP Ipaq in the area of Ryde, Isle of Wight:

OZIexplorerCE, see Oziexplorer for details:

gpsVP is an open-source (BSD license) that supports using Garmin .img map format files and shows online OSM maps (Mapnik is preconfigured, it is possible to add a configuration file for other online raster maps like Osmarender) on Windows Mobile devices (smartphone or PDA) and also on Windows Desktop computers. By using Mkgmap you can create an .img file and load it to gpsVP.

Gosmore is a routing application that uses OSM data:

Run.GPS is a shareware program that can display OSM data and load map tiles on demand through a cell phone internet connection (GPRS, UMTS):

PDA TileManager is a software that can download OSM Tiles along a GPX track. For Windows Mobile with installed .NET CF 2.0 or above. Works perfectly together with Run.GPS:

Map Calibrator creates OSM maps. I use them in the GPS Tuner and in the Turbo GPS on my WinPDA:

locr GPS Photo for Windows Mobile Version 2 Alpha 1 is a free client application for WM5/WM6 PDAs to geotag photos which uses OSM maps for orientation purposes.

OpenMobileMaps is a moving map application similar to GoogleMaps, but using OSM data instead. If a data connection is available, it automatically downloads tiles and allows to search for places. In offline mode it shows cached map-tiles. If a GPS device is available, the current position can be shown on the map and the map automatically moved.

Audio Logging

OSMtracker direct Audio recording in the application
BSGPSPDA (freeware, out now and contributing to the map)
BT747 can be used to do Audio or Voice tagging by using your phone, PDA or other digital recording system and match the dated files against your track log (MTK logger, or NMEA, GPX, CSV).
See PDA Voice Recording for information on using your Windows Mobile device to record audio whilst you are mapping.

Port splitting

If you want to run more than one application that need access to your gps you might need a port splitter software.

GPS Intermediate Driver Built-in solution for WM5 and up.
GPSGate Share one GPS port between several GPS applications running at the same time.
Port Splitter Freeware software useful to split COM port on PDA.
HandyGeocaching Porter CZ - HandyGeocaching Porter, freeware, but beta

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://davy.preuveneers.be/phoneme/?q=node/1

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:

Software: Gpsmid from http://gpsmid.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/countdown.cgi?GpsMidHel-Helsinki-0.5.09.jad / jar
- Platform: WinCE Core 5.0, phoneME Feature - MIDP rev19166 (zip) from http://www.cs.kuleuven.be/~davy/phoneme/index.php?q=node/10
- Hardware: PhotoNav 4.3", see http://www.verkkokauppa.com/popups/prodinfo.php?id=11150 (this might be the hardware: http://www.ecvv.com/product/1099864.html)
- Configuration: SerialPort = comm:7;baudrate:4800;bitsperchar:8;stopbits:1;parity:none in phoneme/lib/lapi.cfg
- Status (updated 2009-09-08): Occasionally gets a one-time GPS fix, map browsing works nicely, voice navigation works with wav files (no support for AMR in phoneme apparently) when the call to volCtrl.setLevel(100) is taken away or included in an if (volctrl!=null), responsiveness is quite nice, some error message about config at startup, some clumsiness with switching to the virtual on-screen keyboard (no hardware keyboard on the device)
- further info on progress can be found at https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/gpsmid/index.php?title=Platforms#WinCE_.2F_WindowsMobile

I was able to get gpsmid working on windows mobile 6 on my ipaq hx4700. i did not try to get gps (via bt/jsr82) working. it was very responsible, but as mentioned above, some error messages and on the whole not really usable imho (but better then nothing, if you don't have anything else to display an offline map!)
- phoneme: MIDP-phoneme_feature_mr4-win32_arm_wm6-bin-rev20524.cab
- gpsmid: custom created map/gpsmid with Osm2GpsMid-0.6.jar and an .osm saved by josm
I have GPSMid working on a Nokia 5800 with integrated GPS, to launch with nokia OVI manager installed you need to right click and select run with Java, select a small area I can't get more than 25 square miles to render. select the generated file and install in OVI software. displays and tracks GPS progress as long as you stay on the map.
