Hi Gnuite,

As I wrote to you in another post, I have translated to spanish this version of Maemo mapper, but I dont Know to make a deb, so I want to send to you.

I dont find a word o phrase to translate "Lead Amount", if you guide me, I will be please.

Bye,

Hi,

I tried all the repositories of maps I could find and the zoom button just zooms the screen and DOES not show new maps, even with my GPS on. I know the GPS is working as the download map area shows what should be there.

THe GPS I am using is the Mobile Crossing BT-308.

If I disable the GPS and just use the zoom feature it 'downloads' the maps but does not display them. Its very strange.

Thoughts?

You're downloading with "Auto-Download" enabled? If not, turn it on and see if you start seeing maps.

If that doesn't help, check your map cache to make sure that there are actually maps in that directory. If the directory is not writable for Maemo Mapper, then no maps will be downloaded.

Same problem is happening to me....maps stopped downloading with auto download or download by area.

I have to check permissions, etc...

hmmm...
 

Those of you who can't download maps while connected to GPS - isn't it true that the 770 cannot be connected to more than ONE bluetooth connection at a time? That means just the GPS plus a WiFi connection, or just a cellphone in data mode, but not GPS and cellphone simultaneously. Please tell me I have that wrong, cause that sucks- but it's what I read in the manual.

If that's the case, the DEV could program in a pause between GPS and 770 to allow the 770 to connect to your phone and retrieve the maps, then disconnect phone and reconnect GPS link, rinse, and repeat? It would HAVE to be programmed this way to work on a single BT connection scheme.

On another note- TO DEVELOPER: will you add a button near the maps default location that lets us non-genuises move our default path by hunt a click? I don't know how to tell it where my mmc is by text. Also, what are the chances you'll give us a button to click that will move all of our current maps to the new location with just a click? I want them off my 770 and all on my mmc, where I don't mind using the space.

Thank for Maemo Mapper- it's functionally awesome.

No, this is not true. I have many times used maemo mapper with my bluetooth phone for internet and my bluetooth gps at the same time.

google maps, coverage
 

Google maps does not seem to cover Estonia. I'm about to travel to Tallinn/Estonia. Where could I get a maemo mapper compatible maps of the city area?

Autodownload on
 

What permissions should be on the directory? I moved my map cache to an mmc else I could not see ANYTHING. Not enough space. I get the highest level world map then a zoom does not go to other maps it just makes that map fuzzy. Auto Download is on. The directories are created but not the files.

If the directories are being created, then you have permission to write the files, and the situation is strange. The only thing I can think of that would cause that would be having no disk space in the map cache, but you said that you changed your map cache to be in the MMC to avoid that problem, so I assume you have space available on your MMC.

Are you connected to the internet? You must be connected to the internet before you start downloading maps in Maemo Mapper - Maemo Mapper will not automatically connect to the internet. Try playing an internet radio station while you download the maps - if the radio plays clearly while the "downloading" occurs, but no maps are actually downloaded, then there might be a problem with your MMC (check to see if you can write files into a directory in the map cache.

Also connected to the internet when trying to do this. Directories created plenty of space. It just does not budge. Reinstalled, etc. Perhaps I am doing things wrong. My map server is www.i40.com. It brings up the 'world' map. Then I move the screen to say New England, and press the zoom button, it just pixelates the big world map but says its downloading maps, however there are NO maps in the map cache, just directories. Plenty of space on the MMC.
