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 . Jess |

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) |

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. Xes |

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: Code:

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. ------------------------------------- Carlo from Manila, Philippines |
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:

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.

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

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

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

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. Quote:
