Hi

I installed CloudGPS in my N9 handet, however it doesnt load the map.
It locates my altitude ,speed and it shows Fix GPS (yes), but the map is never displayed.
I posted this query in N9apps.com, where i was advised to delete the clougps.ini file. I did the same but it didnt work .

I'm attaching the data cloudgps.ini file along with this post .Please help me .

Hi.

Could you post the other cloudgps.ini file that is located in /home/user/.cloudgps directory?

After posting it here please try to delete it and run CloudGPS again.

Thanks

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 
..sometimes it happens also to me (pressing the "C" button the coordinates are over any range like -90,12000000) and also after a gps fix the application cannot move from that position showing only a white map.
After this, pressing the button with the blue dot to move the pointer to the actual position, the application freezes. (i suppose that those coordinates hang the zoom out - zoom in animation used to go there)

At this point, the only workaround is to erase /home/user/.cloudgps/config.ini

It would be great to have under the options menu two buttons, one to define the home coordinates and one to go there when the pointer if lost in the wild. (very useful when you are completely offline and offroad and you are trying to find the right piece of local map to use)

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

found this amazing program and it is the fastest map I ever seen with OSM- great!
But there is one issue: the routing does not work, console says:

Code:

CloudGPS 0.6.5
loaded the Generic plugin
loaded the N900 plugin
loaded the Generic plugin
loaded the grue plugin

Compass sensor is not present

and on the top of screen there appears a green Message:
Code:

Route: no results. status NOT_FOUND
Pasting the above link in the browser returns:

Code:

}

CloudMade doesn't work either but has a very long hard readable error-message, URL in Console is

Code:

http://routes.cloudmade.com/e4b1777b4b5154d69dbfc4678216183a/api/0.3/49,372338,10,292237,49,369310,10,309139/car.js?units=km&lang=en
Is there a fix for that?
Thanks in advance!

Hey Dwaeradzyn,

It worked amazingly,after i deleted the config.ini file. But the google maps is not loading for some reason. It says http 403 error..
Can u help on that ... ?

I'm attaching the old config.ini as well .

many thanks

In both cases it seems that the coordinates are formatted wrong:
Code:

49,365902,10,342170
.
The coordinates should be (notice periods instead of comas):
Code:

49.365902,10.342170
This is a bug in the code that prepares the URLs. It probably depends on some system wide regional number formatting setting. I will look into it. In the meantime, could you post the output of:
Code:

env
on your N900?

Thanks for the attached config.ini file. It confirms that an old bug is still there despite me thinking it was resolved.

As for 403: Google bans IPs they detected to be downloading tiles in automatic mode. You can read more about it here.

There is really nothing I can do about it. Ban usually goes away after 24 hours. If you have the possibility to use different ISP, you could try that.

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 
I'm very sorry to post another little issue...
Please, do not misunderstand my posts. THIS IS A REALLY GREAT APP!

The tilex,tiley values saved in config.ini are always saved with an offset.
So if you close the app pointing in the center of your city, when you open it again you can see the cross pointing to something different.

P.S.
@dwaradzyn
look at this page:
http://earth-info.nga.mil/gns/html/cntry_files.html
While in offline mode, using this data it would be possible to jump to any location only specifying the city name.......

Do you remember the function to transform tilex and tiley in coordinates?
Thanks.

problem with routing CloudGPS 0.6.5
 
I have the same problem with routing. Here is another env output if it helps triage the problem. I am going to try to change locale to english for a work around.

Another problem I have is opening the search service settings menu. It crashes the program.
Damian Waradzyn:
Happy to say you've done an amazing job at this app. I just made a donation to you and do hope you continue your work.

Also I would like to ask for updated sources to the garage or a link to Git if you develope there nowadays.

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

I'm new here. I'm using Nokia N9 and downloaded CloudGPS v0.6.4 from Nokia Ovi Store. I followed the steps on how to make an offline map and placed it onto the /.maps directory. However, I can figure out how to edit the provider.ini file under the /opt/cloudgps/ directory. I tried using file browser or manager on my N9 but it doesn't allow me to edit it or if I tried to copy and paste an edited one from my MyDocs folder, it says "You don't have permissions to proceed". Even when I try to delete the file it keeps saying the same thing.

What can I do to about it? Is there any app that I need to download in order to edit the provider.ini file.

Also, tried to access the N9 storage on my laptop but to no avail. I can't access the root directory on my laptop. it opens directly to the "MyDocs" folder.

I also tried downloading a text editor app but it doesn't allow me to open any file. It only creates new text files.

By the way, it works great on my N9. OpenStreetMap loads too slow. Maybe because of the connection between my DSL network and their servers. Google Maps loads very fast though.

I just need to make it work offline because mobile internet is too expensive here in our country. It cost US$1 for unlimited mobile internet for 1 day or 24 hours and US$23 for 1 month.

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA. Great app. 5 Stars.

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

I found a workarround for the routing-problem with some env-Settings:
just set this in Terminal or a script before you start cloudgps:
Code:

export LC_NUMERIC=us_US.UTF-8
Then the commas in the URLs are replaced by dots and the routing works (for me :D).

Have a merry christmas everybody!

I suppose that no one had replied to you just because the trouble is not with cloudgps but with your linux know how....

So, before edit the file providers.ini you should be able to open a terminal as root user and understand how use vi or mc....

Thanks for your reply sir. I'm not familiar with programming language but I think I would be able to follow any step-by-steps instructions if someone kind hearted replied to my post. I'm just a computer hardware technician. Don't know much about programing/software, that's why I posted my questions here and I think this Web site isn't helpful for someone who only wants to try this product since no one will entertain you if you don't have a knowledge about programming language especially in Linux. That isn't fair. The TS should have stated that this forum or Web site is for developers only and non-developers or idiots like me aren't welcome.

I am a technical support representative for a software here in our country and I know how to provide technical support to our users or customers and know how to answer their inquiries. So I believe every product should have technical support whether it's beta or not. These are just basic questions and no one is able to answer it, except for you sir. I will not recommend this product to my friends, relatives or anyone here in our country. Nokia Ovi Maps is still better. I will post negative feedback in Nokia Ovi Store and tell them to remove this product from their Web site. I have the screenshots already. Good luck!

??? Sorry, this is not a technical support forum.

This is a community of Nokia Nxxx owners that love their devices and would understand/mod/create their beloved toys.

If you are not happy with your device i suggest you to sell it IMMEDIATLY... I'm sure you'll find someone searching for it and very happy to pay for your unusable phone in just a few days.

And finally, if you buy a Ferrari car and you discover to be unable to drive it without hit a tree..... it is not a fault of Ferrari.

Bye bye

Nokia says contact the developer if you have any questions or concerns and that's what I did, didn't I? Did I say I'm not happy with my device. Read my last post. I said, I'm not happy with what is going on here. The developer is here and he is not able to provide answers to questions about his product. Where do you think should I go an ask for answers? Ask Nokia? It's not their product! Ask my mom? LOLs.... Ask my neighbor's pet? Where? Tell me?

??? What are you complaining for? :eek:

It's about install a free application and then ask to the world how to modify its parameters without even have the basic knowledge to know what are FILE PERMISSIONS????

If it is so.... Please don't complain here.

i don't think you understand what I'm pointing at, dude! i'm just asking a basic question but no one cared to reply except you. I expect that the developer would care to reply but he didn't. If you make something, you should be able to answer any questions asked by the users or provide technical assistance since you are it's creator. All I'm asking is just one simple reply or answer. I'm not complaining about the product or anything else. As I've said in my first post it's a great app. I'm just asking a SIMPLE QUESTION.

Note: I didn't even ask how to modify the app. Or should I say, I asked because I could figure out how to add an offline map.

But the thing is, no one cared to reply except you.

Someone should have said that or the developer should have told me "hey, you need to have a knowledge in Linux in order to add an offline map. To do so, follow these steps... so on and so forth. "

What would you feel if someone ignored you? haH?

...thanks, really, thanks for your words.

This, make so simple to explain and understand why someone may ignore your posts.

yeah, I think you're right. It's because, non-programmer or idiot like me aren't welcome here.

Thanks for your replies. May you have a blessed new year!

I hate to say this but this forum sucks!

And I will still post a negative feedback about this forum and the developer of this product to Nokia Ovi Store, Facabook, Twitter, and any other blog sites and even in my personal Web site and blog sites where I have millions of followers.

Good luck!

So you intend to badmouth dwardz and his software because you are too dumb to figure out how edit one file? Then you are a real piece of *****. Dwardz is legend around these parts and perhaps does not have time to explain the most basic elements of linux.

This forum has slowly been distilled down to the real hardcore nXXX users who will never trade the power of a computer for 'whatsapp' (or whatever the latest horse ***** fad is). You must understand you are a new n9 owner, you represent the new wave of people who have a lot to learn, a group the rest of us have coddled and hand-held 1000 times already. The answers you seek are easy to find, you just have to have a hungry mind.

I am in Poland right now and therefore riding a ham induced euphoria so I am feeling like less of a rotter than usual. You need to edit the file providers.ini. On the n900 it is located in /opt/cloudgps/providers.ini. The easiest way to edit it is with an editor from the command line. You can either use vi (built in(probably)) or perhaps somthing like nano (if it has been ported).

1. Open xterm.
2. Start a root shell
3. Enter somthing like 'vi /opt/cloudgps/providers.ini'
4. Make your necessary changes.
5. Save and exit (:wq)
6. Job done.

Is there already a solution for the problem, cloudgps doesn't activate gps signal? Searched the thread, found some things about the problem, but no solution.

Try running the app using the following command line in x-terminal:

Code:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/qtm11/lib /opt/cloudgps/cloudgps

@carlo_N9:
I am sorry that I did not have time to answer you right away. Your question however was of a general nature and it was not related directly to CloudGPS, since you asked how to edit a file on N9.

I suspected that the community will be kind enough to provide you with an answer and it happened by xes and vi_ being so nice to give you hints about tools you can use to edit files.

I am not going to address the things that have been posted in your following posts in detail. I will only summarize it this way: the others behaved correctly and tried to help you while you rejected that and broke netiquette several times. Please refrain from that in future.

I will be able to help you more if you clear some things for me:
1. Which guide did you follow?
2. Why do you need to modify providers.ini and what changes do you want to put in it?
3. Are you able to modify files as root on your N9 yet? If not, what is the specific problem you are facing?

If you have the same problem (missing libjson dependency) you should upgrade to 0.6.5. Note that in 0.6.5 you can have GPS not starting issue, but a workaround is known and you can find it just one post before yours.

That works like charm. Thanks a lot :).
Another problem (not a big one): when putting in a search in landscape mode, the orientation in the searchfield is still in portrait Mode.

This application is glorious. The only problem I have is that I can't interact with the points of interest on the map. Searching appears to work perfectly, but when I click on the generated pegs I end up moving them around rather than being able to query anything.

This mapping application is gorgeous and google maps' contextual search functionality is sorely missed on my n9. Thanks for writing something this good using Qt :)

Re: [WIP] CloudGPS 0.4.8 - smoothest maps for N900
 
hi just have seen two bugs. why is the bugtracker not working?:cool:

version 0.6.5
1) search is not working correct. the wrong position will be shown something about 50km in the south east of each query. also switched the search service by pressing s. app crashes when trying to switch search service via preferences.
2) when trying to route in the top of the application an exception is shown stating trouble with api and postgres database when using cloudmade
and when i use google maps no status will be found and the routing fails to.

any ideas? thx
meldo

A screenshot showing this issue would be nice. Additional data is needed:
1. Which search provider
2. Exact query
3. Zoom level and exact position

I think it would be easiest to attach your /home/user/.cloudgps/cloudgps.ini right after the issues occurs - it contains data in point 1. and 3.

Could you run CloudGPS from terminal, repeat the problem and paste the output here? Thanks.

Just posting to say that this solution made cloudgps work again. Latest version had that error thad I couldn't seem to get any GPS fix.
Quote:

Please, add at the end of:
/etc/ld.so.conf

this row:
/opt/qtm11/lib

and run:
ldconfig

To verify, run:
ldconfig -v | grep -i qt

Now cloudgps should run without specify any LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

It may be caused by non-satellite location source used when GPS is not available. Could you take a screenshot and paste it here?

The text in landscape search box is not displayed right. In portrait it should display fine. Searching (after pressing Enter) should work the same way in portrait and landscape.

Landscape search will be fixed in next release (0.7 planned in March).
