Re: [Announce] GPS Recorder

Is GPS Recorder still being developed?

I would like to see one new feature. This is recording a description or a comment as well as a name for a waypoint. I think the GPX format allows this.

Using N900 or N800 as a bluetooth keyboard and mouse

Is it possible to use either my N900 or N800 as a bluetooth keyboard and mouse?

I could then use it to control my multimedia PC.

Re: Function keys on N900

Many thanks.

I don't know if it's just me getting old, but I'm finding it increasingly difficult to find stuff at maemo.org by searching.

Re: Creating a shortcut for a shell script

I thought Shortcut Maker was only for contacts and calls shortcuts, but reading that thread I see I was wrong.

I'll probably just do a .desktop file by hand.

Thanks muchly.

Re: Creating a shortcut for a shell script

Re: Removing a birthday from calendar

The only IM I use is Skype. I had one request from an unknown, which I rejected. I have two Skype accounts on the n900, but only one is enabled.

How do I delete the Smart Calendar entirely?

Re: N900 GPS - does it work abroad?

The GPS will work anywhere in the world.

The problem is that, by default, the N900 location software looks for an internet connection. Just disable the "Network positioning" option in Settings -...

Re: Whither with my N800

I'm not sure if I havethe latest version. The Application Manager says there are no updates to get.

I have version 2.6.2-os2008.

I am embarrassed to say that it is probably a disk space problem!
