Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. By "moving" in this case, do you mean panning (as opposed to your GPS moving)? No amount of extra memory utilization is going to give you unlimited ability to arbitrarily pan as much as you want. The added delay is due to accessing the database, which leads to your second question....

Yes, the database solution is slower than the file system-based solution, but it reduces disk space utilization by about half. For the majority of use cases (limited memory card space), this is preferable to faster map access.

Use a file named "poi.jpg" to modify the "default" POI representation.

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

More closer zoom levels would be great, re-downloading is not a big deal. Another nice thing would be if you for each repo had check boxes for each zoom level, like it is on the download map screen, so you could go like "for this repo I want zoom levels 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 12, 15, 20" or "5, 10, 20" or whatever is useful for it. That way it wouldn't matter too much if the closest one is way too zoomed in for most repositories, since those could just uncheck it.

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

I just tried to get this to work, but I can't quite get the hang of it. I tried what you said here first and nothing happened. Then I looked at the source to try to figure out what is wrong, and it seems like the images should be in a subdir called poi/ so I tried that as well, but still nothing happened. It seems like it tries to read the icons from the path stored in _poi_db_dirname and then a subdir called poi/ and then the filename, so I grepped trought the source to see if maybe _poi_db_dirname would be something unexpected.

My C is not too hot, and my gtk is even worse, but I can't find the place where the _poi_db_dirname variable is set in the source. The only code I can find seem to be for changing it after changing it in the settings dialog, but nothing that sets it initially. And sure enough, if I changed the poi db to something else in the settings, and then changed it back to the old value, the icons suddenly work, since that variable is then set properly. But when I restart the program it doesn't go trought the settings dialog, and thus the variable is unset again, and icons stop working.

This should help you fix the problem :)

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

Good catch, thanks. I'll fix the directory issue, too - the icons should be in the same directory as the POI database file itself.

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

Sorry if this has been asked before, but is there an IT2008 version in the works? It would be a great companion to the built-in map application for geo-caching...

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

I really look forward to increased zoom levels, happy to start again with downloaded maps etc.

I look forward to being able to switch between rotation and non-rotation of the maps easily. At the moment I seem to have the common problem with MM 2.0 of not being able to manually rotate clockwise, anti-clockwise, reset or switch off such that North is UP. In fact I don't understand how to control it because it does not work for me? Does "MM 2.0" only rotate and follow GPS direction when GPS is connected and when not connected to GPS it points map in relation to the last direction where GPS was heading?
(This is my experience)

In addition/relation to the POI icon, don't know if I mentioned this idea before but I thought it would be nice to switch the direction heading line which appears to increase in length "dependent" on speed of travel; to a walking, driving, flying icon if it was possible?

Maemo Mapper v2.0.1 Released
 

This is a minor bugfix release of Maemo Mapper, fixing many of the bugs that were revealed upon initial release of Maemo Mapper v2.0

Unfortunately, this version renders previously created repositories unusable. You maps will still be there, readable by Maemo Mapper, but due to the enhanced zoom capabilities, Maemo Mapper will not interpret the zoom numbers correctly, so things will look funny. You must delete your existing map repository databases. I apologize for this inconvenience. Some 800 of you downloaded v2.0 in its first 36 hours of release. I'm pretty sure that's a Maemo Mapper record. I hope you're not all mad at me. :(

Full Changelog:

* Expanded the available zoom levels by four additional zoom steps. This
change invalidates previous map databases, so you will have to discard
your previous map data.
* Fixed crash that occurred during rapid map auto-download.
* Tightened up the POI Edit dialog to show more of the POI description.
* Added "Edit Categories..." buttons in a few more places.
* Fixed all of the formerly useless View menu items. (closes #1598, #1604)
* Fixed bug in parsing East-of-the-meridian longitudes.
* Fixed bug in "Along Route" radio button.
* Fixed bug with repeated internet connection attempts.
* Fixed bug in update of POI List after Delete from Edit POI dialog.
(closes #1599)
* Fixed crash when adding a new POI from the context menu.
* Added confirmation of overwriting query when selecting a category from the
drop down box in the "Download POI" dialog.
* Fixed crash with invalid address in the "Go to | Address" action.
* Fixed initialization of the POI icon directory name.

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

A few points about rotation, hopefully to clarify some of the questions....

The default button mappings for the D-Pad have changed to focus on rotation instead of panning. If you are upgrading from v1.4.x, your old settings will remain as they were (pan-centric), because I don't like blasting away people's preferences. The new defaults (in case you want to change them to the new defaults) of the D-Pad are as follows:

Left: Rotate Counter-clockwise
Right: Rotate Clockwise
Up: Reset View (North points Up)
Down: Toggle Auto-Rotate

The center button is unchanged (default is "Toggle Auto-Center").

The old mappings (i.e. if you upgraded and didn't change them) map to "Pan North", "Pan South", etc. Which, if you're rotated, can be a little confusing. If you like to keep panning with your D-Pad, you might want to change them to "Pan Up", "Pan Down", etc.

Auto-Rotate only works with a GPS connection and when Auto-Center is enabled. (I didn't think it made much sense to auto-rotate if you're not centered on your location.)

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

Sorry for being a pain, where are these held and how do we edit or replace them during the update. Would be nice to know what files to delete from where, on the IT to have cleanest update or fresh install of MM.

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

Thanks you mr Gnuite ,this is a very important application for me. I need help as usual as i am unable to install this 2.0 I dont know why ? the error message say some of the details not available for updating. error "packages missing .libconic0 , libgdbm3 , libsqulite3-0 missing anyone can help pls.
