Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0.4 Released
 

Sorry, but I leave calculation of the fix up to the GPS receiver. I don't want to start tweaking the data in certain ways - Maemo Mapper is not a GPS data manipulator or statistical analysis tool. If you want to get an average, you should collect the GPS data separately (or save Maemo Mapper's track to a file) and do the average manually.

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

Not at the moment.

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

Actually, v1.4.x used the same behavior as v2.x's default, "When Moving (Fullscreen Only)". Are you saying there should be another option, "When Receiving Any GPS Data (Fullscreen Only)"?

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

Not sure if you are aware of this, but Maemo Mapper will plot new routes if you enable "Auto-Update" in the "Download Route" dialog, and if you have an internet connection during your trip.

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

Thanks, as usual many of the features we ask for are already there! I promise to check the menues a bit better. ;)

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

No, I'd like a setting so that if it's full screen it doesn't dim the screen at all. If there's a gps signal or not.

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

Nope I was on V 2.0.3 which I had Friday and checked the track Yesterday. No additional data.

Thanks. Great product.

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

Ah yes, that's where it is alright. I was just overlooking it :rolleyes: .

Thanks! Helpful as always.

BTW, everything looks great in the new version!!

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

2.0.4 seems to be working for loading tracks.

Thanks so much!!!!!

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

I couldn't find any word/post when MM 2.0 OS2008 version will be out? Gnuite, please? :)

This is the only application left that is holding me on completely moving into OS2008...

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

There may be something wrong with your settings. Mine will stay lit when in Full screen mode. no dimming at all.

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

It seems latest kagu release supports pausing/resuming:

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

Should Mapper be working in OS2008?

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

I'll work on an OS2008 port as soon as I get an N810 with which to test. I'm not going to release an OS2008-compatible version of Maemo Mapper unless I know it works on the N810.

So, it's just a matter of getting an N810, and I haven't heard any word on when that will happen.

Maemo Mapper v2.0.5 Released
 

Maemo Mapper v2.0.5 has just been released.

This small bugfix release adds the ability to set minimum and maximum zoom levels at which Maemo Mapper will automatically download maps for a repository. The new setting is available in the "Manage Repositories" dialog and can be set differently for each repository.

Those of you with super-accurate GPS receivers may also notice that the latitude and longitude calculations have been made a bit more precise. Previously, latitude/longitude precision had been limited to a 32-bit float instead of a 64-bit long, and some GPS receivers provide higher resolution fixes that can fit into a 32-bit float. This really only affects you if you are zoomed in at zoom level 0 or 1.

Some of the translations have also been updated. Thanks for keeping those translations up to date, guys!

CHANGELOG:
* Increased precision of latitude/longitude calculations.
* Added repository settings for minimum and maximum auto-downloadable zooms.
* Fixed bug that caused Maemo Mapper to draw the mark in the wrong place.
* Updated translation text.

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

You can get a preliminary port of MM 2.0 for OS2008 from my page at: http://people.debian.org/~tschmidt/m.../maemo-mapper/

But please be aware that this version is not 100% bug-free and is not the official port from Gnuite, so please blame me, not him if you experience problems. (Current known issues are: the hourglass in the upper-left corner ist not displayed right, the translations are disabled)

@Gnuite: Did you receive my mail on Friday regarding the patches for Chinook? (In the meantime i updated the patches for 2.0.5 and they integrate much better, they are now 100% source-compatible to Bora, there now is a small check in debian/rules which tests if the current SDK is Bora or Chinook sets the new configure option --enable-chinook to the corresponding value.)

You can find the patches here: http://people.debian.org/~tschmidt/m...apper/patches/

Thomas

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

Excellent work :) Unfortunately, I couldn't install due to missing libgdbm3 - Any idea where to get that?

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

Just add the following catalogue to your application manager:

Name: repository.maemo.org
Address: http://repository.maemo.org
Distribution: chinook
Components: free non-free

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

Nice Cheli!!

It seems to work well for me--

Still errors out on being unable to download maps at times,
but I think that is the buggy-ness of 2.0.x thus far!

Thank you so much; this is THE killer app for the IT.

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

true, many thanks to chelli for the preliminary port of mm to the new maemo os. right now i'm getting ready to try to load navicore to the 800 with 2008 installed. didn't and don't expect it would or will load, but getting a little desperate as we leave the continent in few days. doesn't look like wayfarer will be operational during the time we'll need it. but let's make sure gnuite gets an early delivery of an 810. mm is a special app

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

I thought I'd move this post into a active thread, its just a quick question..

I am curious if http://gnuite.com:8080/cgi-bin/gpx.cgi is opensource as well as maemo-mapper?
as in available for download, would be great to be able to host off my own server as I am part of a town wide wireless network and would work great when I am out of range of hotspots... (hot spots in the Northern Territory Australia arn't as common as I would like)

Cheers
Rip

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

@Chelly
Your port of MM2 works fine with OS2008/N800 ^^ thanks !!!

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0.5 Released
 

I'm having stability problems with 2.0.5. After a few manual pans, MM croaks with

gdbm fatal: lseek error

This is with the latest 2007OS. 2.0.4 seems to have not had the same problem.

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

That's strange, I got the "missing: libgdm3" error, too. I have installed all possible chinook repositorys, still got the error :( Any Idea? I'll try disabling some sources...

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

hmpf, I put the application manager into red-pill mode and installed libgdm3 manually. I after that, it works... did I overlook anything? I assume all of you installed mm for chinook without any problems...

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

yeah, I ended up installing libgdbm3 from the terminal... Not sure why the app manager wouldn't pick it up... Still, cool to finally try it out :) Will have to go caching or drive somewhere with it. Has anyone built flite for 2008 yet?

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

As I understand it, that cgi script grabs data from google, it's basically a proxy.

I'm not sure if or how you'd grab all the data.

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

red pill mode did the trick to enable installation of libgdm3 requirement to enable the installation of mm 2.0.5 (chinook).

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

Hmm, I keep getting I/O error or timeout when trying to download routes. I'm using the following URLs - both with no luck:

http://gnuite.com:8080/cgi-bin/gpx.c...dr=%s&daddr=%s
http://www.gnuite.com/cgi-bin/gpx.cgi?saddr=%s&daddr=%s

Anyone else have issues with downloading routes?

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

Strange, this must have something...

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

I installed MaemoMapper for OS2008 without any problems. Also, I did install flite... it just showed up in my installable applications and installed fine. (Not sure if it is working... I didn't go out to test it with MM yet...)

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

Simple ... decode the polyline ... i've done it in a couple of hours.
Not sure if it's legal or not to use "share" that info.
My main problem will be that google :mad: will change the format
like maps.live.com have done (now i have to decode it again
to have route available for Romania)

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

I don't have flite available in my catalogue :( Do you think you could stick a list of yours up somewhere?

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

I think I got it from http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ bora free

So, I do have this repository twice in my application manager: with chinook and bora distributions. I believe this did the trick...

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

Just open an xterm and type
If you hear "hello world" it works ;)

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

Yes it works... but it sounded like the speed was faster than in OS2007? Maybe the 400MHz versus 330MHz makes a difference... :)

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

I am also seeing this lockup issue. MM will get a GPS fix, run for a while (5-30 secs) and the GPS seems to stop updating (MM still responds to some things like the close button). After this, sometimes I will see stray MM processes left around which I have to kill in order to establish connection to the GPS again (although sometimes even this does not work and it requires a reboot to get connection to the GPS again). Another data point that I have not seen mentioned is that after this happens NaviCore can no longer connect to the GPS either. Sometimes I can get the GPS back in NaviCore by going through the "Activate GPS" procedure but not always.

N800-OS2007 - 4.2007.26-8
MM 2.0.5
Nokia LD-3W as only bluetooth device

I'd just like to restate what many others have already said - this is an awesome piece of software and impresses the h*ll out of anyone I show it to.

Cheers,
Kris

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

Glad to hear it's easy!

It definitely goes against their terms, as does downloading maps for offline viewing, and it's probably considered copyright infringement in certain areas.. I don't feel too bad downloading a little bit for personal offline use, though :)

How much data was downloaded from Googles' encoded polylines for Romania?

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

Well I guess my point was that Maemo-Mapper uses the routes from Google maps via that cgi script to generate routes, and was just curious if there is source available for that cgi script or anything similar that is opensource that anyone knows about.

I love the route feature it would just be great to be able to use it when im not connected to the Internet as hotspots in Australia really do suck...
and again, wireless Internet in Australia is hopeless unless you want to fork out alot of money to our great masters at Telstra the telco monopoly

Cheers

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

Hmm ... doesn't work like that. You have to setup a proxy like Gnuite did (i did for both gmaps and maps.live.com - only the first still working ... cause MS changed the format it encodes the polyline), then you ask for a direction (have to make fake a browser call, fetch the polyline, - figure out the algorithm, get the gpx data ;) )

You cannot get a vectorial map, you will end-up requesting routes from your server every time you need one

pm me if you need help

PS: i really don't think abusing gmaps is a good ideea ... hope they will not change the format like VEMaps did ( aka M$ :mad: )

Cheers
