You can "force" download of maps in the "Manage Maps" dialog. This option will overwrite any maps that you already have. The default behavior is to avoid re-downloading maps that you already have.

It's possible, I guess, and I'll try to get around to it when I can.
Yes no NMEA data for that, but all you really have to do is track the one previous elevation and then test if it is greater or less than. Yeah I know, easier said than done.

No big deal, I just thought it would be a very usefull addition to MM. Thanks again for your continued MM development.

Maemo Mapper v2.x will bring a new framework for communicating with the GPS receiver. Maybe it will help. I don't know what to do for the 1.x code line, though.
OK... did reflash and this worked fine UNTIL I installed RTComm. After that point MaemoMapper does keep searching for GPS received indefinitely...

Uninstalling RTComm does not solve the issue. Only a reflash of OS seem to work...

UPDATE: Added new bug #1752 to bugzilla.

Feature request:

Is it easy to implement and add a "gutter parameter" to Maemo Mapper for use with WMS-repositories? See OpenLayers Gutter Example and gutter.

If it's a URL parameter (I'm not sure that it is...), then you should just be able to add the parameter to the URL Format. Maemo Mapper automatically crops (around the center) any images that are larger than 256x256, although the data is still stored at the original resolution (so there is some memory loss).

I think it is a client parameter and not part of WMS-spec as I know. Automatic crops feature is new to me...So if I'll change image width and height parameters from 256x256 to 260x260, 2 pixels will be automatically dropped out on the each side of the tile on the screen (I'm not able to test this just now)?

Hey, great! It works (using 258x258 is enough to get nice maps). No need for new feature, thanks gnuite!!!

Re: Maemo Mapper v1.4 for 770/N800
 
OK, I've had my 770 for about a month.
It's fun.
Use it for the internet a lot, books (yes, I read the latest Rowling on it, even tho I'm 40 :) ), some games (scummvm, etc..), movies.
And, I'm a linux geek, so I'm root and loving that...
(I had an Axim X5 before, which I loved, but this is better -- and a lot less expensive :-)

I never really saw the draw of GPS before, but I figured for $50, I'd get a bluetooth GPS and try Maemo Mapper.

And I just got my GPS yesterday.

Wow.. Not only do I think it's incredible (I admit I can be easily impressed at times. :-), but everyone I've showed it to is impressed as well.

One of the managers at work was comparing it to his $300 GPS device, and said it looks like it does all the same things GPS wise, plus all the other features of the 770. For a lot less money.

It took me a bit to figure out the map downloading.
There was a pretty good tutorial that talked about installing it and choosing one of the 5 repositories. My install had only "default", which didn't work. But I have google maps in there now. Then I just had to figure out how the map downloading worked (as far as area and zoom and file size. :-)

I have a 1 GB card, but I might get a seperate card, just for mapping. (since I use it for watching movies, and they tend to eat space as well. :-)

Anyway, I am impressed with Mapper. People have called it the "killer app", and I wouldn't deny that. Especially at under $200 for the 770 and a GPS module.

desiv
(Now I just have to decide about mounting. I got a free vent mount (not designed for horizontal, but I think I can make it work), but I'm not sure I want to tie up a vent. If it's easy to remove the vent mount, I might do that, but it didn't look like it. I could go windshield mount, but I don't know that I trust suction cups. :-)

Launch Maemo Mapper, then from the menu select Maps / Manage Repositories, then select Download - this will update and refresh the repository list from the internet, and add a whole range of new options. I don't know whether it overwrites any of the zoom level settings, so check that before clicking Ok.

"Launch Maemo Mapper, then from the menu select Maps / Manage Repositories, then select Download - this will update and refresh the repository list from the internet"

Duh!! I thought that was a way to force a map download., and that happened in the other window anyway. (That should have been a hint.. :-)
Thanx, I'll give it a shot. :)

Hey, I didn't know that. With that in mind, how would one go about using Yahoo Maps as a repository? YM is a bit more detailed than Google, and support arbitrary tile size, but the map position is defined not as x/y/zoom, but as the WGS84 coordinate of the map center and a scale:

http://gws.maps.yahoo.com/MapImage?a...mw=400&imh=400

I didn't think it was possible to use this since each map downloaded from there contains all kinds of info around the edges that need cropping...

Can you consider an option to allow the reverse to happen. In my area, OSM (OpenStreetMap) is undergoing a lot of regular updates, so it would be handy to have an option to, say, re-download the maps once they are 3 or 6 months old for that particular Map Repository. I don't need such regular updates to the other map sources, just OSM, so an option to be able to force redownload (if internet connected, otherwise just redisplay the stored map) would be useful for me.

Re: Maemo Mapper v1.4 for 770/N800
 
Does "Download Route" work for other parts of the world? I am in China getting ready to take the new transcontentental train from Shanghai to Lhasa, Tibet, and then I will continue overland to Nepal. Since downloading maps on the fly will be difficult due to lack of cellular phone service in many spots during the trip, I want to download all of the maps along the train route in advance. What is the best approach for this need? Should I do it by defining the corners and doing a mass download? I am concerned this approach will take way too much memory and it will down load maps that really are not part of the route. Suggestions??

Great app!!!

"Download Route" should work for any route that works with maps.google.com. Note that this generally requires English input and produces English output, although this can be tweaked by adding "&tld=de" to the routing "Source URL", for example, to emulate maps.google.de (for German input and output). It's important to note that Google Maps handles input differently depending on the top-level domain that you use (com, de, co.uk, etc.). For example, five-digit addresses (like "90210") are interpreted differently between maps.google.com and maps.google.fr. All of these differences are emulated when you pass "&tld=XXX" to the routing web service.

You can test Maemo Mapper's "Download Route" functionality by using the HTTP web service version at http://www.gnuite.com/cgi-bin/gpx.cgi - that's the web service that Maemo Mapper is actually using under the covers.

I would probably download the entire rectangular area bounding the trip at the lowest zoom number possible (10, maybe even 8 or 6, depending on your available space), and then download maps along your route at all of the lower zoom numbers (up to 2, or even 0). You can download maps along your route by first inputting your entire route (segment by segment) using the "Download Route" dialog, then using the "Along Route" option in the "Manage Maps" dialog.

Pick a larger "Radius" to download more maps surrounding the route. For example, setting "Radius" to "5" will cause Maemo Mapper to download all maps that are within 5 tiles of your route.

observations
 
Phew - scaled through the 38 pages to get here... :).

I recently got an N800 and a Holux M-1000. Unfortunately the latter didn't arrive in time for my vacation, oh well. I'm loving MM, and have donated (modest amount - I plan to keep it coming as I continue to use it). I'm looking forward to needing to go somewhere new, just to use MM.

I have some observations:
  • Bug?: View->Zoom Level seems to be inverted. If I unselect it, I see zoom level indicators.
  • I want to delete maps from an area (where I went on vacation) - when I try to, it says "Downloading maps"... why is that? My N800 isn't connected right now, so it fails. I tried to delete a whole swath of area while connected, and it gave the impression it was trying to download everything, so I quit it.
  • I'd love to be able to configure a root directory for all repositories. For each repository I have to change the dir to send it to my SD card, rather than selecting the root directory once for all repositories. Problematic I suppose for when people want repos with different roots.
  • Enhancement req for map scale: when in miles, it'd be great if it switched to yards or feet for smaller levels. I have no idea what 0.05 of a mile is (though now I think about it, it's 1.6 * 50m, so 80m).
  • Enhancement req for route speech announcements: Precede them by a signal to get attention, and/or an "In <distance>: " message. e.g. "In 100 feet: turn left onto xxx". Also, how about pre-filtering the text to change "0.0" to "0 point 8", as it currently says "zero eight". While you're at it, filter "rd" to "road" etc..

Another thing - is it possible that Google blacklists people or am I paranoid? I simply downloaded satellite maps for a 20 mile route, and now I can't get any satellite maps from my home net connection, but I can from work. Could it be my home IP is blacklisted?

Since the Holux and N800 both have 5V chargers of similar amperage, I'm contemplating soldering on an additional Nokia tip to the Holux chargers (car and wall), to consolidate. Have to find a source of 2mm jack plugs.

Thank you so much for MM.

When I look on google maps (.com) and search on chinese cities it finds them and shows simple yellow lines (routes?) connecting the cities. In some cases it looks like rail lines shown as well. But when I ask to go from one chinese city to another (for routes or directions) I get the message "We could not calculate driving directions between suzhou, china and shanghai, china." Even tho these 2 cities are shown with lines (roads & rail) connecting them. But if i go to google (.fr) I can get directions between 2 french cities. There doesn't seem to be a google maps domain for .cn. Is it possible i need to use some other google domain for the chinese cities? Note: i get the same results when i use http://gnuite.com:8080/cgi-bin/gpx.cgi/directions.gpx

Again, the purpose of all of this is not to get driving directions in china. i just want to mass download the maps for my trancontenental train trip.

Thanks for the help!

Re: Maemo Mapper v1.4 for 770/N800
 
Hi

Could someone offer guidance on how to clear all the installed remnants of Maemo Mapper off for a full reinstall (and coincidentally offer advice on the problem I had)?

I installed the latest version on an N770 w/ OS2007_HE. No GPS yet. On opening got the blank screen & dot, added the preset repositories okay, but if I selected 'Manage Maps' or 'Auto Download' the app exited. Uninstalling and reinstalling made no difference.

I removed the repositories, added the default only, then it tried to download some maps but said there was a URL error. I switched Auto-Download on and it exited. Now it exits from the app immediately after start up (the black screen with dot flashes by briefly) so I can't get into the app to undo whatever I've done. I've uninstalled and reinstalled but get the same behaviour - immediate exit. I've deleted the maps directories but it doesn't make a difference, so is there anything else short of reflashing I can do to clear old settings off?

Many thanks

That option controls the small number next to the scale (on the bottom of the screen) that indicates the current zoom level. It does not affect whether or not the popups appear.

Yeah, that's confusing. Map deletion is performed in the same "thread" as map downloading, and it uses the same progress bar. So, it might say "Downloading maps", but it's really deleting them. I should fix that, I think, although I'm not sure what the best approach is. "Downloading/Deleting maps"? "Modifying maps"?

You hit the nail on the head. In developing Maemo Mapper v2.0, I've toyed around with the possibily of having just a single database to store everything (maps, POI, icons, tracks, routes, etc.), but given the multiple physical storage locations (three different flash memory locations), I can't justify removing the flexibility to spread repositories around. Maybe I can add an option to set a default repository root, so the changing is easier, but since repository definition is a one-time operation, the value added is probably not sufficient.

That sounds doable. Write up a Feature Request on garage.maemo.org, so I don't forget.

I like these ideas, although I'm not sure I understand the last one. The GPX Driving Directiosn web service already filters "Rd" into "Road", "St" into "Street", and a whole slew of other translations.

There have been reports of the satellite repositories being a little finicky, sometime blocking requests for some time or returning error pages. I don't think it's ever been permanent, though. Does maps.google.com work?

On a side note, Google may be perfectly within their rights (or even duties) to block automated mass retrieval of their satellite data. It may be against Google's policy, sure, but it may also be against the policy of their satellite data providers. Those providers may push Google to try to stop mass downloading. As always, use Maemo Mapper at your own risk; I can't be held responsible if people use Maemo Mapper to violate Google's (or anyone else's) terms of service.

Hmmm, something tries to connect to the net though, and doesn't appear to do anything unless it succeeds.

Google street continues to work, and I have satellite access back now. I'll keep an eye on the situ. Last time I checked though, I got a "bad URL" message when downloading G street by area, though not by route. VE street also failed by area, but silently.

Could you guys talk about the GPS devices in the thread that exists for that purpose -- would keep the info about the devices in one place for others to find, too.

http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ead.php?t=1970

Given the amount of (natural) interest in Maemo Mapper, it really would deserve a sub-forum of its own with a couple of sticky threads for this topics...

If I make a cellular connection, that sometimes happens to me. The phone takes its time establishing a link (I don't keep it data connected all the time), and that may cause some kind of problem for the maps downloading thread. Probably a timeout in an opportune place -- in some other places, it waits much longer.

That's quite different from what happens when downloading routes. That process fails with a "could not connect" immediately when pressing Ok in the route dialog, despite the link being established in the background. I've learnt to wait in the dialog for the "Phone connected" message that tells the OS finished the link negotiation.

Absolutely... I just posted that suggestion in Comments/Suggestions.

I got a reproducible problem, and submitted bug 1066. Perhaps others can try it out and see it's something weird about my setup. I just reflashed yesterday though, so I think my system is very clean.

Re: Maemo Mapper v1.4 for 770/N800
 
Alrighty.... this is a strange one. I ordered a Holux GPSlim 240, and it worked straight up. I've been using it for a few days, and last night, I finally figured out how to add POIs for our Geocaching. I shut everything down and plugged in the chargers. Today, I started up MM after the GPS was running, and it started and then died trying to get the GPS fix. I Started it from the command line, and it just hangs there, not getting anything from the GPS. I deleted the POI.db, uninstalled MM, cleared the settings with gconf, reinstalled, and still the same problem. I seem to have found all the problems everyone was having, but all at once! Has anyone else had this problem? I don't think the GPS died, but you never know...

When I've a gps problem, I try :
- disable gps from Mapper and shut down Mapper,
- power off gps ...(wait some seconds)... power it on,
- go to the config panel, bluetooth, delete gps, scan for new ... and found/add/pair the gps,
- load Mapper, go to Settings, scan for GPS...select it,
- enable gps in Mapper.

Have you installed the new RTComm beta? This seems to cause problems like this.

Nope. Haven't flashed the latest. Been too busy actually using the n800 to chance toasting it while on the road. It's been my best friend for a few months! :)

Re: Maemo Mapper v1.4 for 770/N800
 
OK..This is a new one for you guys - I bought an iBlue 737 from Semsons and have been using it in India during my recent trips from Bangalore to Madras and it has been absolutely invaluable.

My wife and I were looking for places to stay and we managed to get around the city and view 20+ properities in 2 days which is unheard off. The best part is - one can never be lost!!!

If I didnt have my nokia 770 and more importantly Maemo Mapper+iBlue = I'd be screwed.

I cant begin to convey how helpful Maemo Mapper and my bluetooth GPS has been using Google Maps.

My only suggestion is that - it would be BRILLIANT if maemo mapper could be configured to act like other GPS software and show roads in the actual orientation as one approaches i.e. you appear to be going up a road when you are (with a massive arrow showing direction and the map chainging orientation according to direction - at the moment I have to rotate the whole unit)

But - GNUITE - all in all - absolutely great....invaluable...I am SO happy I bought a bluetooth GPS to along with the 770 and MM.

I'm looking forward (read: salivating) to v2.0

Nik1, I didn't see where anyone else had responded, but I am having the exact same problem, as well as not being able to save a track (I'd like to start supplying data to the openstreetmap project.

Also, I never seem to be able to get to www.gnuite.com, when attempting to set up a route to an address. Is anyone else having this problem, and what is the workaround?

Thanks

Is there a way to send a route from Google Maps to Maemo Mapper?

When the GMapToGPX window comes up, make sure to click "Track" and "Full"

Re: Maemo Mapper v1.4 for 770/N800
 
is there any way we can make that GPS dot in my screen little smaller? and also the route line little thinner?

And is there any way i can replace the dot with a small arrow which showing the direction which i am moving towards? It will be useful when i am walking or riding my bicycle?

It's an option called "Draw Width" (or "Line Width"?) in the Settings dialog. It affects both the circles and the lines.

Not at the moment. The velocity vector is currently the only indicator of heading.
