Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

Ah yes, you are right, i still did not understand dbus completely, i guess i should try to read some docs. ;)

Hmm, this would of course be really, really bad, i hope that there will be a good solution and that it is not Nokias intention to lock out Free Software from using the internal GPS in a good way. (I guess someone should ask a Nokia Employee about this issue.)

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

does your remark about using mm on an n810 imply the version which has been working on the n810 and on the 800's with the 2008os can be removed and your new 2.1 version installed in it's place?

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

Ok, just a second comment: While trying to port maemo-mapper 2.1 to Chinook, i found out that, although the Content Comparison page tells something different, libgpsmgr and libgpsmgr-dev are still available in the Chinook SDK, so i guess this is just a mistake in the Content comparison page.

Regarding the status of Maemo Mapper 2.1 on Chinook: It is working here locally, but i had to do some hacks to the build-system i'd like to investigate before uploading the package. (I hope this will happen tomorrow.)

Thanks, Reb, for the info. I will indeed contribute.

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0.5 POI bugs
 

Just come back from a trip, Thank you Gnuite, great app. N800/2007OS/MMC boot, fresh installed 2.0.5 after executing the Xterm commands as described on thread#82. First, your help file is great. I keep reading good stuff everytime I read it, the second time the third time, useful info from your help file, strongly recommend for serious user of MM, at least read the 'setting' section. This help file is NOT like those run of the mill help file.

I tried to browse/search thru 300+ post and apologize if it has been posted.
- POI.db browse does not give you the option to change file location; manually edit file location will do it.
- POI returns lat/lon, when view/edit upon tapping on the purple dot, it returns 0.00000 and, will not be able to 'dl route to' POI. Couple of time, POI purple icon disappear after view/edit.
- POI create route to: return blank screen and error message "18 maps failed to dl". Veiw-goto-address will bring back the map. Still, failed to create route to POI.


I am considering install/keep an extra N800 in my car and my wife's car just because of the MM, thank you Gnuite. Hope the users we all will leave you some time to do other things then maintaining the MM.

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

It's in the SDK, but it's a binary-only package that's available in the SDK. That is, the binaries (including headers) are available so that you can compile against them, but the source is not available. Unless I'm mistaken?

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

Good news ! I don't know if it's due to the new 2.1 version or if it came with one of the 2.0x point releases (I confess I didn't think to check each time :-), but Maemo Mapper now find and loads its help file on my French tablet. At last I can now learn how it works :-)

Thanks again gnuite...

Maemo Mapper v2.1.1 Released
 

Maemo Mapper v2.1.1 has been released.

This small release fixes a couple minor bugs and adds a couple new DBUS signals for which third-party applications can listen.

This release does not install on OS2008. I will be releasing an OS2008-specific version of Maemo Mapper soon (within a week or two). There will have to be a separate binary for OS2008 - OS2006 and OS2007 will continue to be able to share the same binary. It's ironic that one of the big advantages of OS2008 is that it is available for the N800 (unlike the OS2006-to-OS2007 move), and yet it is even more incompatible with its predecessors than OS2007 was with OS2006.

CHANGELOG
* Changed the "set_view_center" method name to "set_view_position" for clarity.
* Added two new signals to the DBUS interface: view_position_changed and view_dimensions_changed.
* Fixed a bug in POI lat/lon handling (closes #1695).

Meh, the Gtk break had to come at some point. There are better things to complain about. :P

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.1.1 Released
 

Agreed, and the changes are definitely welcome, but that doesn't change the fact that some of those early decisions were downright awful, and early developers are paying for it twice: once to get their software working in the crazy environment in the first place, and again to port it to the newer, more-sane environment.
