Done :)



and finally a filler cause my message was too short.

Re: Ovi Maps Extra Features - Now with voice guidance (early development)
 

Hey.

Thanks for giving us, what Nokia was not able to.
According to Jiri's how-to, I got full voice navigation in German and (first in english, but now also german) synthesized distances. :)

Even the fm transmitter did keep the connection to the radio and did not turn off leading the radio to produce noise.
But:
the radio still beeps each few seconds. Is there a possibility to turn that off (just silence between navigation commands)?

Re: Ovi Maps Extra Features - Now with voice guidance (early development)
 

Hello,

peterleinchen: have you managed to get the navigation in English working according to CormacB?

I have only done it after switching the phone language from German to English, but as soon as I tried it with German voice an error message popped out after starting the maps: "failed to load voice config.xml from german for language de-DE" (the same one I was getting in English at the beginning before switching the phone language to English), I keep getting this no matter which phone language I choose... can anybody help/any ideas? before I have to try the way "jiri" described which looks much more complicated :rolleyes:

Re: Ovi Maps Extra Features - Now with voice guidance (early development)
 

Hi xkkkx.

No, I somehow directly stumbled over Jiri's how-to and got it working fully for me (german phone, german language and distances).
So I did not try Cormacs way. But reading his install post, he does not support other languages due to different naming (de_de -- german) of sound files. I would try to play around with naming of sound files location folder, or somehow look directly in the downloaded html file to rename there ...

Re: Ovi Maps Extra Features - Now with voice guidance (early development)
 

I followed that Jiri's howto. Nokia maps says "Welcome to improved Nokia maps" out loud, but program cannot run any further. The progress bar keeps on moving left-right-left even for hours if I wait.
I I close it [X], it says "bye bye".

What could be wrong?

Edit:
Got it back to work (without voice navigation) by replacing old index.html and pfw-directory from the backup.

Edit2:
The jiri's index.html work, I can hear some instruction now and the map otherwise works, but not with the pfw-directory taken from jiri's page but with some old one I installed last autumn.

Because there is no diff program available for N900 (?), I cannot easily see what are the differences.

Re: Ovi Maps Extra Features - Now with voice guidance (early development)
 

@udaychaitanya16:
1) root
2) cd /usr/share/nokia-maps/html
3) mv index.html index.html.jiri
4) ln -s index.html.nokia index.html

After this it may work. The problem may be, that Jiri's instructions do not tell to backup pfw-directory, so if you didn't backup it yourself, then the old one is lost.

Re: Ovi Maps Extra Features - Now with voice guidance (early development)
 

courtneyg: or someone could up the original index.html...
oh well, here it is :D just unzip it and copy the file index.html to the folder /usr/share/nokia-maps/html on your n900
