Revive OSM2Go on Maemo
 

OSM2Go in the maemo repos no longer woks properly because the number of nodes on OSM has exceeded 2^31; the possibility of this is commented in the code.

The original author, TIll Harbaum said a couple of years ago he was moving onto other more popular projects and has just confirmed to me by email he has recently retired his N900, so has no real drive to come back to the project, which is fair enough. He is happy for others to take on the maintainer mantle.

Someone from the OSM community has fixed the problem and posted his version on github, but stated "maemo packagers wanted".

I would like to get a working version a. on my N900 (yes, I'm selfish!) and b. available in the repos (but not entirely so). Unfortunately I lack the experience to do either - my programming experience is limited some real-time stuff during my engineering degree back in the dieing days of the 20th century. So I'm wondering if anyone could either talk me through how to compile the github version for my own use (starting from scratch on a windows laptop or from a thumb-drive booted linux) or would be willing to package and push the fixed version for us all to share.

Re: Revive OSM2Go on Maemo
 

Version from github is now on extras-devel.

I tested it can be installed and started. I don't know how to check status of the bug you mentioned.

Re: Revive OSM2Go on Maemo
 

Just update from OSM and upload a change.
Did that and it works. Thanks, TomJ and AapoRantalainen!

Re: Revive OSM2Go on Maemo
 

Brilliant! Thanks Aapo; I was beginning to think I'd have to install build-essentials on my GSM-disadvantaged N900 and attempt to work out how to build it myself!

UPDATE: I've managed to upload a new node to OSM, so it appears to be working properly. I'll probably head along to the OSM pub meet in London tomorrow to give it a proper thrashing...

Re: Revive OSM2Go on Maemo
 

two issues reported on github for osm2go https://github.com/AMDmi3/osm2go

Re: Revive OSM2Go on Maemo
 

Hi!

I've released version 0.8.4 which fixes one of these bugs which is critical (map not shown when selecting a region for a new project), another bug is in my todo list.

I'm glad there's interest in osm2go and will try to keep it afloat.

It would be nice if you update the package once more.

Thanks!

Re: Revive OSM2Go on Maemo
 

Done.

Modifications:
1)
src/net_io.c
src/osm_api.c
-include <curl/types.h>

2)
data/osm2go.conf from older version

3)
configure from older version
(problem to run autoconf)

Re: Revive OSM2Go on Maemo
 

Thank you! May I get your contacts to ping you directly for packaging following releases? My mail is available on github.

Fixed.

Gotta investigate how it's used and why it was not in the repo if it's needed.

Could you send/post errors? Plain autoreconf worked for me on FreeBSD, Debian, for Scratchbox and Travis builds.

Re: Revive OSM2Go on Maemo
 

Bump! Btw is it possible to add Bing aerial images to the wms in osm2go?

Re: Revive OSM2Go on Maemo
 

It is. However for that working Bing WMS server would be needed, but hosting it will likely be against Bing TOS so you probably won't find a public one. You can run your own with twms (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/TWMS) though.

Re: Revive OSM2Go on Maemo
 

Done

Seems I now got it working, maybe I had some old files hanging before 'git pull'.

Re: Revive OSM2Go on Maemo
 

in this thread, there is a porting of maep on sailfish. as osm2go is using maep in his core for tile rendering, may be interesting to follow that developing. maybe for collaboration in some bugfixing...they fixed the user-agent issue too

Re: Revive OSM2Go on Maemo
 

can somebody post a couple of nice wms servers for satelite imagery the deafult nasa one not working for me as its downloading nothing:(

and how do i go fullscreen in osm2go

Re: Revive OSM2Go on Maemo
 

itried nothing seems to happen i cant get wms to work like the bing imagery i get when the web frontend is used:( it would be better if google earth or something else could be used as i found out the bing imagery here is at least 4 years old:( poor osm

Re: Revive OSM2Go on Maemo
 

you cannot use google/teleatlas/navteq or other copyrighted images to draw osm maps...only authorized one like Bing or Mapbox. Have you tried to set up your own wms server for Bing?

btw i tried to add an italian wms authorized to be used for osm but it doesnt load images :( i attache the output in terminal with errors as txt file if anybody can figure out whats the problem
(it works fine in josm)

Re: Revive OSM2Go on Maemo
 

i just wanted to get it going thanks for reminding it:) for me osm =obsolute street maps as it was just like a blank paper in my area nor it got any creditable data in the city long back but now most major things are coverd sparcely at least i fired up osm a week back to see what editing is like so created one account and to my amazement its damm easy and my edits were actually showing up on the main map:D and also in osm apps like modrana :eek: i turned the blank paper to an essay in just a week with only a few minuts of editing everyday:) i am just wonderingwhat was holding anyone from editing previously i suspect its just lack of any proper info on the subject:(

Re: Revive OSM2Go on Maemo
 

how do i draw waterbodies buildings etc in osm2go ? though i can edit very nicely with my stylus previously created things in potlach:)

how do i get more realestate by golng fullscreen or is it not supported ? the panels should be a bit thinner hideable or transparent that way it would be more efficent:)

Re: Revive OSM2Go on Maemo
 

kind of same itch :(
osm should be a bit more morden

Re: Revive OSM2Go on Maemo
 

unavailablity of undo option is a real nuiance when things get messed up

Re: Revive OSM2Go on Maemo
 

Well done nokiabot for trying to make your local coverage less "sparse" :)

Re: Revive OSM2Go on Maemo
 

Is OSM2Go any good for just using as an offline map, when one doesn't have any plans to update OSM?

Re: Revive OSM2Go on Maemo
 

For offline maps, you need software that do cache of tiles. Try cloudgps, mappero, modrana or advanced geocaching tool

Re: Revive OSM2Go on Maemo
 

I'm biased, but I suggest advanced geocaching tool (AGTL). It handles offline maps and can be used without any means relating geocaching.

Re: Revive OSM2Go on Maemo
 

Has the updated version from the developer regatta made it to any repos?

Re: Revive OSM2Go on Maemo
 

I downloaded and installed the latest release 0.9.7 deb from https://github.com/osm2go/osm2go
Would be nice to have it in maemo repos

Re: Revive OSM2Go on Maemo
 

I think it is not so easy to upload to the repos due to an old cmake.
Version 3.8 is needed and autobuilder has 2.6.3.
So first would be to update cmake and maybe this is not enough could be that you also need a newer gcc don't know.

Re: Revive OSM2Go on Maemo
 

You can't build CMake with the old compiler, it requires C++11 support meanwhile. I have documented in the GitHub wiki how I do it for my local development: https://github.com/osm2go/osm2go/wiki#cmake
