1. First, make sure that the "GPS" icon that appears when you tap the screen has a red check mark. If not, touch "GPS" to turn it on. Then, tap the gear icon just to the left of "GPS". One of the options there is "Auto-Center". Set it to anything except "off".

2. My preference is to keep my N900 plugged into a power supply while driving, since GPS eats power. Then I use the "Display stays lit when charging" option in the settings application, "display" option. An alternative is in Mappero itself: in the top menu (the one on the standard menu bar) choose "Settings->Misc", then set the "unblank screen" option to something other than "never".

Re: [Maemo 5] Maemo Mapper
 

Thanks, gkuenning, but I tried all those options to no avail, except the 'unblank screen' - I will try that today.
Last week, when I needed Mappero, I already did put Autocenter I on lat/long and 'display lit when charging', but that did not give the wanted result, and a moment ago I saw that Autocenter was put back to off without me touching it.

I suspect that there may be another setting somewhere in mappero that resets autocenter when twiddled.

Most definitely. I know for sure that it shuts off autocenter when you use a feature like "go to POI". But for me, it always warns with a popup that says something like "Autocenter Off".

Re: [Maemo 5] Maemo Mapper
 

Hello, I used Mappero for the first time today and love it ! Trying to get some nautical maps in there too :-) When I first had it on today, just on battery, 3G data, automatic d/l...the screen stayed on as per setting "On when moving/fullscreen"

Now....for the life of me, no matter what I choose from the Screen Blank settings, I cannot get the screen to remain on???

Any ideas?

It seems that Google is not allowing connections via MM over ATT Internet. Haven't been able to connect for 2 days. If I was on the road I would be screwed.

Hi.

I keep getting "Invalid source or destination" error while "Going to address" or trying to get a route.

I have latest version.

Thank you in advance.
Cheers.


edit: Routing in CloudGPS does not work either...

Re: [Maemo 5] Maemo Mapper
 

I have Maemo Mapper on my N800 which still is able to plot Routes from "http://pgx.geotags.com/cgi-bin/gpx.cgi?saddr=%d&daddr=%s" per Frago's 8/1/10 post (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=59500).

Can Mappero's router be changed from Google to "http://pgx.geotags.com/cgi-bin/gpx.cgi?saddr=%d&daddr=%s"? Right now I have to download a Route in the N800 and email it to my N900's "Routes" folder, and not being able to download Routes from Google sucks.

Re: [Maemo 5] Maemo Mapper
 

I've located the source code for mappero 3.2 (latest for n900) http://repository.maemo.org/extras/p.../maemo-mapper/

It seems that google url is hardcoded in plugins/google.c

Replacing this with Frago's geotags.com URL should provide a quick fix for the problem

I currently don't have the maemo development environment installed on any PC so this simple fix is a bit of work...

If someone has the environment ready, please try it. Just change the URL and recompile

Re: [Maemo 5] Maemo Mapper
 

It seems that google is not supporting the output=kml parameter anymore to retrieve the waypoints in a kml file. json still seems to be supported.

For routing google has an api: https://developers.google.com/maps/d...on/directions/
Maybe it would be nice to move to this xml format, which contains basically the same information / structure as the kml output.

I've tried
(and verified that the new libgoogle.so is being used, as I initially had pgx.geotags.com with resulting dns lookup error), but am still receiving the invalid destination error.
