If you are looking for a tester, I am willing. Of course I would only publish my results to you directly. Apart from that, great work!!! So go man go!!!

Thanks

Re: Plans for Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

I can work on getting a dup-checking solution for GDBM, but it was really a lot easier with sqlite. As for the space savings, even if 90% of maps are duplicates, those duplicate maps are the smallest, about 106 bytes, whereas busy maps can be as large as 30k, and almost-empty maps are around 4k.

If 90% of maps are 106 bytes, and the other 10% of maps are an average of 15k, removing the duplicates (even with no overhead) saves you just 5.85% of your disk space. And, in reality, tracking duplicates requires about 16 bytes per duplicate, so it'd be difficult to obtain a savings that is worthwhile.

I must just take you (and other willing victims) up on that. I can't guarantee program stability; you'll probably lose map data and/or track data. But it definitely can't hurt to have some sort of beta program to help iron out the bugs.

Anyone else interested? I'll contact you through ITT PM, if I decide to host a beta.

Count me as a tester if need be ...
Do you think we can have the two versions at the same time on the tablet ?

I could try it. What i need is the poi import feature which is missing from the Mapper 1.4.

Re: Plans for Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

I'm very interested for a beta test.

For the empty tiles, you must be right : they are insignificant since we use a database ; otherwise it's consuming some more space for an complete cluster for each file/tile : 8k ?

Re: Plans for Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

I am also interested in testing.

I have no plans to go any where for next 30-40 days except roaming in my home town (which I know very well), so even this beta version not working well, it is not going to harm me in any way.

EDIT: by the way I am using 770n with OS2007.

Re: Plans for Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

I too may act as a beta tester. I am sometimes on the road for long trips (300-500 km) twice or more a month, while I travel anyway a lot during my "regular" life.
Today I am 500 km far from home and will return here next monday.

No problem if I'll lose tracks or whatever since I also own a Sony TH55 loaded with Tomtom so I can find anyway my way home ;)

Re: Plans for Maemo Mapper v2.0
 

Please count me in for beta testing. I'm interested in performance on the 770 with all the changes you're making.

Count me in!!! Please!!! lol...I would be more than willing to beta-test here in South Asia
