I've fixed the GPX Driving Directions web site to support the "new" Google Maps output. Waypoints should be back - give it a shot and let me know if any particular pairs of sources/destinations don't work.

strange new behaviour
 

Hmmmm.... now, 50% of the time when typing in the address and hitting OK to connect to the GPX service, it suddenly drops my cellphone connection and when I hit YES to trying to reestablish the connection, it just won't connect and have to reboot. MM is becoming harder to use as the bugs crawl up out of their hiding holes. Let's squash'em! I wish I could help, but I'm not a programmer, but feedback can help, too.

Later....

PS: The chime and popups are back now... THANKS! You're quick! :)

Gnuite, any schedule for new Mapper version with new features / bug fixes?

;-)

- Hallax

Not a concrete schedule, no. I've been working 70 hours a week on my "real" job, so I've had very little time of late, but that ends in a few weeks, after which I'll have more time for Maemo Mapper.

I'd say the next release is out no later than a month or so from now. Critical bugs may prompt a more immediate bugfix release, but I don't know of any bugs that critical yet (maybe #50 - I haven't investigated it yet). Until then, cjackiewicz's patch works pretty well for POI.

Mod. Maemo-Mapper v1.1 with 2nd set of URI/Cache, option to operate with closed cover
 

Here is a modified version of John Costigan's Maemo-Mapper v1.1 with a second set of URI/Cache, e.g. for easy switching between street maps and satellite images. The ESC-hardware-key now toggles the URI/Cache settings, while in the original version it toggles show/hide tracks.

The modified version also has the option to operate with closed device cover: you can disable the default behaviour to disconnect the bluetooth GPS connection when the cover is closed, if you unset 'Tools' -> 'Control Panel' -> Connectivity' -> 'Disconnect when cover on device' (Gconf-Key /system/osso/connectivity/IAP/disconnect_on_cover).

John's Maemo-Mapper focuses on in-car navigation. My modifications are useful for non-car navigation, e.g. while cycling, hiking, walking, running: satellite images are sometimes (but not always ;-) more useful than street maps for off-road navigation, operation with closed device cover is useful if you temporarily store the device in a pocket, but still want to record your track.

Before I already applied these modifications to version 1.0.1, now I ported my modifications to the current version 1.1.

gpx server down?
 

MM won't connect to GPX service for last two hours. Help!

I'm at work and can't do my job w/o MM!

What's up?

Same here, I can't download routes or anything. And I haven't had way points for awhile now! Add to all of that, I'm on a trip right now and I was actually relying pretty heavily on the MM!

Yeah, sorry, I'm looking into it. It was working the other day, so Google must have changed something again...
