tangoGPS
 

just recently ported for the n8x0 under maemo garage.

https://garage.maemo.org/projects/tangogps-me/

Lets get some feedback:)

Re: tangoGPS
 

it is possible to have navigation/routing with that? or just mapping?

Re: tangoGPS
 

It works. For me it seems to run faster than maemo mapper.
Nice and simple app.

But:
- There are still some gui improvements needed
- We need a better .deb file with a .desktop file, installable from app manager

Re: tangoGPS
 

Can't install either from downloading from garage or the 'dpkg -i tangogps_0.9.3-1_armel.deb' in root mode method.

Something change?

Re: tangoGPS
 

Without any detailed information about the errors you get nobody can help you, sorry

Re: tangoGPS
 

It would be nice if you actually uploaded the real source of the tangoGPS that you ported, not the ORIGINAL source.

That said, I've uploaded a patch that creates a proper debian package, installable from application manager, compilant with policy, desktop file installed to the correct place and other goodies.

Re: tangoGPS
 

Nice ....
Now it becomes an alternative to maemo-mapper for some usage scenarios.

Re: tangoGPS
 

seems it need a gps fix before it can start downloading map data...

Re: tangoGPS
 

no, downloading maps works without gps but I've have an other problem with downloading maps. Some of the tiles are missing and tango won't download them.

Re: tangoGPS
 

Sorry, I've been dealing with a sick 2 year old.

The error I got was:
Unable to install tangogps.
Incompatible application package.

Since there is a new file I will try again.
