Thanks for the suggestion.

The file menu is already disabled when updating the db but it was possible to close using the X. Fixed now in 0.9 ( not on website yet - maybe tomorrow ) now clicking on X while db is updating shows a message box telling you to wait until update complete.

Re: Poi_Loader for Maemo Mapper
 

Version 0.9 now on the website. This version include Google Earth ( kml) file import. Any Placemark loaded as a poi and all Paths output as track segments to <tempdir>/<inputfilename>_trk.gpx. This file may be loaded into MM as a track.
I have just loaded a path which follows the South Stratford canal with all the locks marked with Placemarks into MM as both a track with a set of poi for the locks.

For Version 1.0 I have a couple of ideas and would like to find out if anyone else would have a use for them.

Create a "poi corridor db" based on a route.

Starting with a fully loaded Poi.db
load a route
ask for distance ( half width )
for each trackpoint in route
use radius limitting based on position from trackpoint -> new gpx file
import into new db dumping duplicates

Create a "poi cloud db" based on a position

Starting with fully loaded poi.db
ask for position
use radius limitting based on position -> new gpx file
import into new db

Re: Poi_Loader for Maemo Mapper
 

Would love to try out Poi_loader esp. since it now inports Google kml, however, am getting an error: "Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /Poi_Loader09.zip on this server."

Re: Poi_Loader for Maemo Mapper
 

My apologies to anyone trying to download 0.9 Permissions where wrong. Should be sorted now.

Rick

Re: Poi_Loader for Maemo Mapper
 

Version 0.95 now on website.

Radius limiting - from the changelog

Route limiting next but I am away again for a week so any problems etc. will have to wait untill then.

Re: Poi_Loader for Maemo Mapper
 

I am trying to load starbucks csv from following link
http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/t...TOPIC_ID=66645

Profile does not exists c:\temp\starbuckscanada.gpx

i loaded so many other csv files from the same site without problem but i end up with this error for starbucks and timhortons....any help?

Re: Poi_Loader for Maemo Mapper
 

I am having some trouble with the POI loader. 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 catagories
file is encrypted or is not a database"

I have deleted the POI file on my 770 and restarted Maemo Mapper numerous times and this has not helped.

Would it be possible for someone to post a link to an empty poi.db file that works with POI Loader?

Any ideas on why I am getting this error would be appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Poi_Loader for Maemo Mapper
 

I think I figured out what the issue was. I think the POI loader was using SQLite 3 and the MM was using SQLite 2.1.

For anyone else having the same issue:
Just do an update to MM in the application manager.

Everything should work now.


Also in the POI loader, there is an option to create a new POI.db.


Hope this helps others in the same trouble I was in.

Re: Poi_Loader for Maemo Mapper
 

any one has solution for my problem?

Re: Poi_Loader for Maemo Mapper
 

Back from my trip.

I've had a look at the file your having trouble with - There are newline characters within the data and crlf at the end of the line - it looks like a combination of a unix file and a dos file. If you have access to a linux ( or any unix for that matter ) the following from the command line should fix it.

Unfortunately I don't know of a way to do this from Windows.

Rick

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.

more info here

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.

Rick

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.

Re: Poi_Loader for Maemo Mapper
 

Bruce

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?

Rick

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:

Re: Poi_Loader for Maemo Mapper
 

Coldstream
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.

[QUOTE=rcull;87558]


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.

Re: Poi_Loader for Maemo Mapper
 

Whenever I try and make a blank database I get an error in regard to the MySQL .dll file. This happens under wine (in linux) and virtualbox and on my old computer that has XP. I've tried the .95 and 1.0 builds and both do the same thing.

I was attempting to load in 'speedtrap' locations from Trapster...quite a handy thing for Maemo Mapper :)
