Re: Poi_Loader for Maemo Mapper
 

Version 1.0_pre now on the website.

Route limiting.

On the main screen select a large fully stocked poi.db

select 'Route limiting' from the menu

http://www.rikcull.f2s.com/Route.jpg

constructs a new db holding just those poi 'Distance' either side of thr entered route.

'Route file' is a downloaded route from gnuite.com
'Cross track error' this is used for route simplification. It is the distance the resultant route is allowd to deviate from the original.

Re: Poi_Loader for Maemo Mapper
 

I cant get this to install under windows 2000

I think the reason for this is oleaut32.dll

These are all os specific and you seem to be including only the Winxp version in your package.

would be nice to get it running....

Sorry but I unfortunately only have access to XP. If anyone else can package it ( source is on the website ) please be my guest.
If you can wait there is a python version ( runs on 770/800 ) in the pipeline. Only gpx in for now - can't find a gpsbabel which works on the 770. + quite slow as I am learning both python,gtk and hildon all at once but should be ready in a week or so.

Re: Poi_Loader for Maemo Mapper
 

I don't think you need W2K

You need to do is to include the different versions of Oleaut32.dll and have the installer detect the OS and use the right version.

IThats easy for you to say :)

1. Where exactly do I get these different versions of Oleaut32.dll ?

2. Have you ever used the VB installer?

Re: Poi_Loader for Maemo Mapper
 

I keep getting a corrupt zip file when I try to download the latest (10pre). I tried downloading earlier versions to test and they all unzipped with no problems. :confused:

I've replaced the package. I dont know how this has happend. I always download myself and unpack after first uploading, AlsoI know that you are not the only one to download this ( webstats). Whatever I have replaced it downloaded and tested.
Please try again - and thanks for letting me know.

1. Where exactly do I get these different versions of Oleaut32.dll ?

Answer: part of this VB update i believe "This security update contains multiple operating-system-specific versions of the Oleaut32.dll file."

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

this should give you multiple versions in these locations
Windows Server 2003 VisualBasic_Installation_Folder\Wizards\PDWizard\R edist\WinServer2003
Windows Server 2003 SP1 VisualBasic_Installation_Folder\Wizards\PDWizard\R edist\WinServer2003SP1
Windows XP SP2 VisualBasic_Installation_Folder\Wizards\PDWizard\R edist\WinXPSP2
Windows 2000 VisualBasic_Installation_Folder\Wizards\PDWizard\R edist\Win2000
Windows NT 4.0 VisualBasic_Installation_Folder\Wizards\PDWizard\R edist\NT4
Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Server VisualBasic_Installation_Folder\Wizards\PDWizard\R edist\NT4TS


"During installation, the package or Setup program must detect the destination operating system. Additionally, the package or Setup program must select the correct copy of the Oleaut32.dll file to install"

The alternative would be to make a package for each OS.


2. Have you ever used the VB installer?

Answer: No! Perhaps the "Wizard" will "just do it" after you install the service pack?

P.S. I have installed the application "manually" by updating my system and unpacking the files, it seems to work fine, (not really given it a proper testing, just thrown a couple of LOC files to it).

P.P.S. Olde Wizards were awe inspiring creators of real magic. MS Wizards seem to be annoying idiots, assuming too much and messing things up. :D

Re: Poi_Loader for Maemo Mapper
 

I am having some trouble with the POI loader_95. Every time I try to have the POI loader access my poi.db from the Maemo Mapper program, it give me an error.

"Failed to retrieve categories
file is encrypted or is not a database"

I have deleted the POI file on the tablet and restarted Maemo Mapper numerous times and this has not helped.

I have the last maemo mapper vers 1.4.7-2

What I must do?

Re: Poi_Loader for Maemo Mapper
 

Does this still work? I installed the latest version but whenever I select a POI file, it doesn't convert it into gpx format so it keeps mentioning that the file doesn't exist.
