I encourage you to do the following and describe with as much detail as possible the behaviour (comparing the results to previously working version would also be great):

1. Get a fix using another GPS app just to make sure you are in conditions that allow N900 to get a fix. Then close the app.
2. Run CloudGPS from terminal and wait 30 seconds.
3. Take a screenshot and post it here together with terminal output from CloudGPS.

And perhaps the most important question: can you see GPS icon on status area when when CloudGPS is running on your N900?

Thanks very much

Step 1 ok, I get a good fix with the original program 'Maps'.
Step 2 ok, run 'CloudGPS' from terminal and wait 30 seconds.
Step 3 ok, see attached screenshots.

I cannot see GPS icon on status area when CloudGPS is running on my N900 ...

Photo 1 : The start from terminal.

Photo 2 : The GUI showing no GPS enabled.

Photo 3 : The stop from terminal (after hitting the 'q' key).

Photo 4 : No trace of GPS icon in the status area during the use of CloudGPS.

Hope it help ...

For what it is worth, all that colin.stephane describes and shows applies to my n900 as well.

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900

Updated yesterday to 0.6.5.

1 - Text in search box still draws vertically (landscape mode)
2 - Program still crashes when trying to change search service.
3 - Program still can't get gps fix

Dwaradzyn, is there some option we can add to commandline or config so the programs becomes more verbose?

Right now the only thing i can see when cloudgps crashes is "Segmentation fault"

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900

Is there a method to have a Garmin-like map size ? For France Garmin Map I remember that It took about ~300m with all details zoomed well but If I download the tiles for CloudGPS with zoom 18 the size is a lot more than Garmin Maps O_O

As explained some post ago by Dwaradzyn, it is only a "Work in progress" release without any fix.

As you can see, it is located in a DEVEL repo.
So don't forget that DEVEL is very different from STABLE... ;)

The thing is, since he's not getting the same errors on his development environment i thought we could *help* with the debugging. ;)

Peace.

Very nice report, thank you!

Could you try attached deb and confirm if GPS is getting started with this one?

For the reference I changed preferred positioning method from anything to satellite in this build.

Also could you post here the exact version of qt mobility that you have installed on your N900?

Not really, there is only one option for verbose logging but it is for network activity (curlVerbose=1 in /opt/cloudgps/cloudgps.ini).

For fixing crashes there are great tools like gdb and valgrind. The crash on search service is already fixed on my other laptop.

Simply put: no. Garmin is vector based and CloudGPS only support tile based maps right now. Please find the rest of the story couple of posts back.
