Were the on-screen notifications appearing? Assuming you downloaded the route via Maemo Mapper, then as you approach a waypoint (a green dot along the route), you should see notifications in the upper-right corner that look something like, "Turn left at XXX Street. Go 2 miles."
If you see those messages and don't hear anything, first check the volume, then try running the following command from an xterm:
Code:
/usr/bin/flite -t "Test"
If you don't hear anything, then flite isn't working properly. If it works fine, then try running Maemo Mapper from the xterm:
Code:
run-standalone.sh /usr/bin/maemo-mapper
Check to see if any error messages are output in the xterm after the on-screen notification appears. |
