I look forward to GPS hardware becoming mainstream in mobile phones. Have you had a look a the Nokia XPress Music 5800?
No, I wouldn't dare to mount a Nokia phone on the bicycle handlebar and ride in the rain. With the Edge 705 I can do that. Also there are no sensors such as the Garmin GSC-10 cadence/speedometer or a heart rate belt. Bluetooth Low Energy (aka Wibree) was supposed to solve that (or reinvent ANT+Sport), and products were supposed to be introduced last summer.
PS: I repurposed the translation of amenity=recycling too. I guess that the POI code is meant to mark the offices of electricity companies and the like, for those people who drive by car to drop a cheque to pay their bills. :-) The menu item is "Versorgung" (supply), not "Entsorgung" in the German Edge 705.
Do you mean <tag>TXT_Utility_STR</tag> <txt>Versorgungsbetrieb</txt> </str>? I cannot find it in the menu?
In the Edge, it is under Community/Utility. In German, perhaps Gemeinde/Versorgungsbetrieb. The POI is a white square on the Edge. Did you check http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/POI_Types already? I have filled in most details for the Edge, and others have filled in data for other units. Marko
