It works very well, and it's already used by a number of mobile apps for Android/iPhone for routing.
It even gives a number of options (ie. balanced, fastest, quietest, or shortest) - but even just implementing a standard 'balanced' one would be great.

Thanks a lot!
I am planning to add this in one of future releases.

Finally an up-to-date GPS that works and routes in my area...
That is normal - I have the same. N900 eats its battery in no time when used fully. The battery that I got with my first N900 two years ago holds only for 15-20 minutes when used heavily and it is heating. When it was new I could use it heavily for about 4 hours.

As a part of creating new interface for N9 the things you mentions should all be resolved. Just give me some time.

Maps are stored in /home/user/MyDocs/.maps. Please refer to first post for map downloading questions.

I suggest to make it consistent with the default apps
I know that - input is causing a lot of problems when developing using SDL only. I am struggling to make QT text input capabilities working within CloudGPS.

New UI will fix that.

The best place for that would be the CloudGPS bugtracker.

Only a coincidence? ...i don't believe...
Programs using liblocation can choose the method of determining the location. CloudGPS uses whatever you have set in location settings in control panel. There is no difference in fix time between apps for me.

The fix time is significantly longer if there is no Internet connection while starting GPS module. AGPS in practice timeouts getting the data before N900 is able to make the connection. This affects all GPS apps. A workaround for that is to restart the GPS app and the AGPS module will work as intended.

This is quite easy and I it planned for one of next releases.

Edit: I have updated http://wiki.maemo.org/CloudGPS page with basic project information.

First thanks for the good job .
I have this problem.
I have created a map with mobile atlas creator using setting "OSMTracker tile storage" and copied the tile to /home/user/MyDocs/.maps/<Provider Name>, where <provider name> is : - OpenStreetMap I. I have put the tiles there but there aren't shoing in the cloudgps. Does the folder name has to be a specific name? I've read through the post's and didn't find and answer. Can you guys give me a little help?

You can find a hint in /opt/cloudgps/providers.ini:
Code:
# fileFormat and urlFormat are used with sprintf with three integers: zoom, x, y
        
[OpenStreetMap I]

fileFormat=/home/user/MyDocs/.maps/OpenStreetMap I/%d/%d/%d.png
So for example the tile with whole world on zoom 0 should be named:
/home/user/MyDocs/.maps/OpenStreetMap I/0/0/0.png

It would be very helpful to show us your file structure. You could for example run those commands in x-terminal and paste the output here:
Code:
cd /home/user/MyDocs/.maps/OpenStreetMap I/
find . | head -n 20

There doesn't look to be any actual files in there, just directories (that or there's a level missed out). Can you try "find . -type f | head -n 20"?

There is not a single *.png file in this list - maybe you only have directories there?

Please do the following:
1. Paste here the contents of your /home/user/.cloudgps/config.ini.
2. Delete/rename above mentioned file and start CloudGPS again. Post back here if it helped.
