Paai
1. First, make sure that the "GPS" icon that appears when you tap the screen has a red check mark. If not, touch "GPS" to turn it on. Then, tap the gear icon just to the left of "GPS". One of the options there is "Auto-Center". Set it to anything except "off".

2. My preference is to keep my N900 plugged into a power supply while driving, since GPS eats power. Then I use the "Display stays lit when charging" option in the settings application, "display" option. An alternative is in Mappero itself: in the top menu (the one on the standard menu bar) choose "Settings->Misc", then set the "unblank screen" option to something other than "never".

Thanks, gkuenning, but I tried all those options to no avail, except the 'unblank screen' - I will try that today.
Last week, when I needed Mappero, I already did put Autocenter I on lat/long and 'display lit when charging', but that did not give the wanted result, and a moment ago I saw that Autocenter was put back to off without me touching it.

I suspect that there may be another setting somewhere in mappero that resets autocenter when twiddled.

Most definitely. I know for sure that it shuts off autocenter when you use a feature like "go to POI". But for me, it always warns with a popup that says something like "Autocenter Off".

Hello, I used Mappero for the first time today and love it ! Trying to get some nautical maps in there too :-) When I first had it on today, just on battery, 3G data, automatic d/l...the screen stayed on as per setting "On when moving/fullscreen"

Now....for the life of me, no matter what I choose from the Screen Blank settings, I cannot get the screen to remain on???

Any ideas?

It seems that Google is not allowing connections via MM over ATT Internet. Haven't been able to connect for 2 days. If I was on the road I would be screwed.

Hi.

I keep getting "Invalid source or destination" error while "Going to address" or trying to get a route.

I have latest version.

Thank you in advance.
Cheers.


edit: Routing in CloudGPS does not work either...

I have Maemo Mapper on my N800 which still is able to plot Routes from "http://pgx.geotags.com/cgi-bin/gpx.cgi?saddr=%d&daddr=%s" per Frago's 8/1/10 post (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=59500).

Can Mappero's router be changed from Google to "http://pgx.geotags.com/cgi-bin/gpx.cgi?saddr=%d&daddr=%s"? Right now I have to download a Route in the N800 and email it to my N900's "Routes" folder, and not being able to download Routes from Google sucks.

I've located the source code for mappero 3.2 (latest for n900) http://repository.maemo.org/extras/p.../maemo-mapper/

It seems that google url is hardcoded in plugins/google.c

Code:
#define GOOGLE_ROUTER_URL \
    "http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=%s&daddr=%s&output=kml"
Replacing this with Frago's geotags.com URL should provide a quick fix for the problem

I currently don't have the maemo development environment installed on any PC so this simple fix is a bit of work...

If someone has the environment ready, please try it. Just change the URL and recompile

It seems that google is not supporting the output=kml parameter anymore to retrieve the waypoints in a kml file. json still seems to be supported.

For routing google has an api: https://developers.google.com/maps/d...on/directions/
Maybe it would be nice to move to this xml format, which contains basically the same information / structure as the kml output.

I've tried
Code:
http://gpx.geotags.com/cgi-bin/gpx.cgi?saddr=%s&daddr=%s
(and verified that the new libgoogle.so is being used, as I initially had pgx.geotags.com with resulting dns lookup error), but am still receiving the invalid destination error.
