Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system

This is useful for more than just offline routing. I've been wanting a similar feature so I could route things like a long bike ride that does a loop and returns home.

So this is a vote for...

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system

gdb is the most common tool. But I'm not sure what you'd learn. With an interpreted language like Python, what you get is a traceback that tells you where the interpreter died. Connecting that to...

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system

Hmmm...the new Qt version seems to launch to a completely black screen. Is it just slow the first time, or do I have something actually broken?

Re: N900: Car Kit & Mounts

No. I don't know of a mount that allows keyboard use. You'd have to provide all the support from the sides, and I don't think you could grip the phone tightly enough.

As a practical matter, it...

Re: N900: Car Kit & Mounts

I ordered a Slipgrip for $29.95 plus shipping. It just arrived; I haven't put it on the car yet but I thought I'd post a quick review anyway.

First impressions: This thing is built like a rock. ...

Re: N900: Car Kit & Mounts

Some updates because my wife just broke my mount (the same one that is in post #254 (http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=929858&postcount=254)) by forcing her iPhone into it. Aargh!

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Super powerful and customizable Widget Generation Engine - Official Thread

David,

Does *82 not work? Or is it *83? That works on landlines; I don't know if it works on cellphone plans (and I can't test right now because I'd wake up my wife by calling my house!).

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Super powerful and customizable Widget Generation Engine - Official Thread

There's a poweroff command available in Linux, so perhaps this would work:

osso-xterm 'sudo poweroff'

But once the power is off, how do plan to turn your phone back on? (Just trying to think...

The second won't keep the terminal open, but it ought to leave a log file in MyDocs/ruby.log so that you can examine its contents and see what happened.

Re: [Announce] Queen BeeCon Widget: Super powerful and customizable Widget Generation Engine - Official Thread

Try changing your xterm invocation to be:

osso-xterm -e "ruby1.8 /home/user/msf3/msfconsole -L; sleep 10" &

That should keep the xterm open long enough for you to read the error message. If...

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system

How hard would it be to allow turn-by-turn routes to be imported from a file? I'd like to be able to use Modrana...

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system

The problem is that the "simplejson" package is missing. On my N900 it lives in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/simplejson. Fine, I think, so he just needs to install it. But here's what I get...

Re: Mappero voice navigation: submit your voice, in your own language!

I didn't find it greedy or offensive. Instead, I was motivated to donate; Mappero is one of my most-used applications. I look at Modrana from time to time, but it doesn't compare to Mappero for...
