You can find the Web based API from obm here:
http://realtimeblog.free.fr/api/openbmap_api.php

Feel free to tell if this does not fit your needs. Let me know what you 
need, to see what I can do for you.

I also have a prototype of D-bus service running on the phone, which 
uses local database built on top of obm data, to get my position. This 
is only a proof of concept, but it works.

We import oci data in order to built better service right now to our 
users (see my other email for details). But we don't plan to do this 
very often. If you want to see your data in obm, the best way is to 
upload directly to it for sure. It gets processed right away.
