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

Temporary instant fix for positioning:

Code:

$ sudo sed 's/Exec=.*/Exec=env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=\/opt\/qtm11\/lib \/opt\/cloudgps\/cloudgps/' /usr/share/applications/hildon/cloudgps.desktop -i

UPDATE: added a patch for vcs.maemo.org/svn/cloudgps

Confirming. Is the bugtracker at garage.maemo.org the official one?

It is the official one. Feel free to be the first one to report bugs using it :)

Great idea. Will include it in next version.

Thanks for this input - I was not aware of it. Will be fixed in 0.7.

Could you share your Cyrillic keyboard setup? Is it Russian?

The segfault happened only when I closed it, it's some different bug.

In some early versions I cared to close the app cleanly. This unfortunately lead to issues regarding some lenghty operation. When there was an unfinished download the app would wait for it to finish before closing. Users reported that the GPS was still on after closing the app when in fact the app was still trying to finish what it started.

Recent versions gracefully save the state and then force the shutdown without caring for background running threads. You can safely ignore that segfault for now.

a) cyrillic symbols in the search input are being displayed as squares;

It is probably because the bundled Nokia Pure font does not support Cyrillic characters. Could you try to change the font in /opt/cloudgps/cloudgps.ini (last line IIRC) and report back if the characters are shown correctly?

b) I didn't realize that it was search button until I switched to portrait. IMHO, the icon is misleading.

Landscape search is broken in 0.6. Will be fixed in 0.7.

UPDATE:
The location shown is http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=50.0000&lon=30.0000&zoom=10
So there is some rounding somewhere.

Here is this location (crosshair center) using CloudGPS and the config you provided. After pressing C key the coordinates are shown on screen:

And here is the same coordinates (green arrow) using Google Maps:

The maps differ but it seems to me that there is no significant displacement.

2. the search box shows squares when I try to type Greek letters.

Could you try to change the font in /opt/cloudgps/cloudgps.ini to something else that supports Greek letters and report back if it renders correctly?

Would you care sharing your Greek keyboard layout so it could be included in next version?

The problem is not in the difference between providers, it's some rounding going on. Cloudmade returned 50.44998, 30.5235 but CloudGPS showed 50.0000, 40.0000. The same for requesting route, but it looks like it's the same problem.

I've skimmed through code at garage but nothing looks like rounding or integer. Is it the code for 0.6.5?

Thanks,

Code:

sudo sed 's/^ttfFont=.*$/ttfFont=\/opt\/usr\/share\/fonts\/nokia\/Nokia_Sans_Maps.ttf/' /opt/cloudgps/cloudgps.ini -i

fixed cyrillic letters :) My layout is Ukrainian, it's from official ukeyboard package. What format would be the best for you?

Oh, I've missed that you mentioned my config. That's strange, I wasn't looking at that location. Will update this post with my current config.
Update: Location after searching Kyiv:

See the end of the first post in this thread. Also beside ModRana you can try Mappero or Marble.
