Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
Thanks to slender we now have a wiki page: http://wiki.maemo.org/CloudGPS.
I encourage everyone to contribute and update this wiki page. I will surely be updating it in the new few days. And again thanks slender for starting the page. |
Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
Great software, thanks so much!
I would love for it to become cycle-friendly. OpenCycleMap is great but lacks routing.I am not aware of global projects in this area, but it would be great if you could add Cyclestreets for bicycle routing in the UK: http://www.cyclestreets.net/api/ It works very well, and it's already used by a number of mobile apps for Android/iPhone for routing. It even gives a number of options (ie. balanced, fastest, quietest, or shortest) - but even just implementing a standard 'balanced' one would be great. Thanks a lot! |
Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
Works a treat. Smooth and handy interface. Keep up the excellent work!
However, one thing I'm worried about is my phone gets overheated after a continuous usage (causing a drastic battery drain) and so, when I open QCPUFreq, where the CPU temperature is usually shown, now says "unknown". Is that normal? Finally an up-to-date GPS that works and routes in my area... |
Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
am just aboput to try cloudgps.
two questions: - w/o inet connection for every move an illegible red message appears on top of the screen (where a number of already hard to read elements exists) and disappears before i even get a chance to understand, what it tries to tell me. is there a chance to actually get the meaning of that message? i guess it has something to do with no map and no inte connection ... - which brinsg me to question two: how do i get a map, where do i store it and how do i tell cloudgps to use it? the wiki is silent and from glancing over this rather lengthy thread i don't find any information |
Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
Two additional suggestions:
- when searching for a place, you can enter numbers only if you press Alt + a number key at the same time. This is not consistent with the N900's behaviour in stock applications (ie - double press Alt then add numbers, or press Alt followed by a number). I suggest to make it consistent with the default apps - I would also increase the font size by 20-30% in the search form, currently it's quite hard to read ps: should I report bugs/suggestions here, or you'd like me to do bug reports or on the wiki? Thanks a lot! |
Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
...Any news?
...a strange question.... Maybe that the gps's fix time can change with different navigation apps? In the detail.... After many weeks of tests i found that opening cloudgps with a cold start, without internet connection, without other running, apps the fix time is about 5-6 minutes. In the same situation, using a tool called gpsrecorder the fix time is less than 3 minutes... Also keeping cloudgps running and launching gpsrecorder you can obtain a fix in less time. I have repeated this test more than 10 times in different days with the same result... Only a coincidence? ...i don't believe... Maybe that a different app can manage the gps chip in a different way reaching a better fix time? If someone would repeat this test, install gpsrecorder and let me know... (no internet connection, cold start) |
Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
Sorry for being so quiet. I have been very busy lately. I hope to have some more time to catch up with forum and wiki this weekend.

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
The wiki seems to be written in Italian (or similar, not sure), and it's just the same text over and over again?

Feature request: breadcrumbs, like what Mappero has. I would like to generate a trail on the map showing where I have been. Any chance of implementing that?

The fix time is significantly longer if there is no Internet connection while starting GPS module. AGPS in practice timeouts getting the data before N900 is able to make the connection. This affects all GPS apps. A workaround for that is to restart the GPS app and the AGPS module will work as intended. Quote:

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
First thanks for the good job :).
I have this problem. I have created a map with mobile atlas creator using setting "OSMTracker tile storage" and copied the tile to /home/user/MyDocs/.maps/<Provider Name>, where <provider name> is : - OpenStreetMap I. I have put the tiles there but there aren't shoing in the cloudgps. Does the folder name has to be a specific name? I've read through the post's and didn't find and answer. Can you guys give me a little help? |

Because this is not the first time I see a user with this issue and the reason for this bug still remains unknown I will simply remove the bug outcome in next release. I will limit those values to valid range during config file load so next time it will be enough to restart the app after this bug occurs. |

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
A little progress update. I have uploaded a quick and dirty made video (http://vimeo.com/32046349) in which you can see how a few of newly developed features for N9 will look like, including:
- new onscreen menu, - changing map provider, - new popup menu, - multitouch support, - compass support. Work still need to be done for onscreen keyboard and some settings menu. After N9 release I plan to work on N900 release too. |
Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
@dwaradzyn
hey man.... what can i say.... LOOKS REALLY GREAT!!! :eek: PS. waiting your N900's release ...wishing you could release it just before someone offers you a job in n a v i g o or t o m t o m software house.... ;) |
Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
wow the N9 version looks epic. but i think there needs to be a way to change 2D/3D on the map view without having to go to settings. mayne ot can replace the zoom slider as cloudgpsN9 version has pinch zoom and rotate ?

I was concerned about removing 3D button from main screen also. But in practice you can enter menu and toggle 3D mode very quickly (do not have to wait for the animation to be finished - the menu also works during the animation). It takes a quick "tap tap" to toggle 3D in a fraction of second. I am also considering adding new gestures: two fingers swipe down to enter 3D mode and two fingers swipe up to enter 2D. What that be OK? |
Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
...impatience is a bad disease..... but curiosity maybe worse!! :)
Any news for the N900's lovers? ;) |
Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
I'm impressed!

Provided that I am successful at this I will start working on N900 release next weekend. The porting should be fairly easy, so I will hopefully be able to release 0.6.X for N900 by 27th this month. But I presume that some aspects will be not very smooth on N900 in first release. Next steps will include optimising the menu and route handling and adding tracking capabilities (by this I mean recording your GPS movement as a track, importing tracks from file). After that is done simultaneous releases for N900 and N9 are planned with new features. |
Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
Little progress report: VKB is almost done. It is not using system VKB but instead it is an implementation from scratch. It looks like this:

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
Version 0.6.4 was submitted to QA at OVI Store yesterday.

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
Awesome! Can't wait.
Is it possible to use same map source as Mapsi is using (Paikkatietoikkuna WMS)? Check config here: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=122 Mapsi is great but smoothness of CloudGPS is something unique :) |
Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
From the first glimpse those maps are completely different thing compared to OSM or Google. It is not supported now but I will look into it and try to add support in future releases.
Do we have a link to Mapsi source code? |

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
Version 0.6.4 for N900 uploaded to extras-devel. This release will not be promoted to extras - its a development release and it introduces performance and stability problems.
On my N900 pure map panning is 45-50 fps, map zooming is 54 fps, onscreen menus are 35 fps and onscreen keyboard is 37fps. All those numbers are 60 on N950 with only a little frames dropped on CPU heavy moments - mostly unnoticeable and overall smooth. I will try to make it work smoother for N900 too in next release. Also note that search textbox does not work in landscape mode. It works in portrait with new onscreen keyboard. Changing search/route service in Options can lead to application crash - still hunting that bug. All GPS related code is now QtLocation based instead of liblocation from Maemo 5. Please provide feedback if that transition introduced any issues with GPS on N900. The same goes for accelerometer. |

However, I notice that zooming in after a search results end up rather out of scope of the actual location (and the location itself is also a bit shifted). Can't remember I experienced that in older versions, but I could be mistaken. |
Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
ui is not yet optimized for the meego harmatta. am i right

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
On my n900 CloudGPS does not start the gps. From CLI it reports that "GPS satellite info source initialised" but it does not run.
If I start the gps with say gpsjinni then Cloud still does not receive pos info. tnx |
Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
I see on the FAQ that it can use modrana to download tiles. Can I use the db-storage based modrana tiles to here? thanks!
