Well, dictators author, that's me.
I'm about to add a feature to correlate your voicenotes to gps-coords
via a textfile. that's all i can do with dictator. my freerunner is
about to be buzz-fixed near munich, so i can't make any progress on this
now.

recording in background during your whole osm-mapping-ride will produce
a huge wav-file which won't fit onto a regular sd-card. so beware of that.

that's the method. while walking i even don't have to stop.

Any hint on how to make the created textfile more usable with the most
common osm-tools would be fine! :)
