DISCLAIMER:
This is
unofficial version
that is provided as an
early-feedback preview
. It's submitted for merge into Poor Maps proper and is
not a permanent fork
. This version is provided with the hope that it will be useful for you and to allow you to participate in the development through feedback, patches, and other possible means.
/DISCLAIMER
I have been working on bringing voice prompts to Poor Maps for some time and have submitted the corresponding code for review. The corresponding PR is at
https://github.com/otsaloma/poor-maps/pull/49
. I have done some daily testing for a while now and I think its already provides the required functionality. So, since @otsaloma is busy with other aspects, I asked and got permission to distribute the version of Poor Maps with the voice prompts.
What does it do:
* Gives you TTS-synthesized prompts while you navigate.
* Includes rerouting functionality, as in the latest release of Poor Maps
What do you need:
* Install mimic (English) and (if you want a bit more languages) picotts (en, de, es, fr, it) from OpenRepos:
https://openrepos.net/content/rinigus/mimic
and
https://openrepos.net/content/rinigus/picotts
. If mimic and picotts do not cover your language of choice, get espeak (bad quality)
* Install Poor Maps from
http://repo.merproject.org/obs/home:...rmv7hl/noarch/
. Since its noarch, it should work on i486 as well. Download the RPM and install using
Code:
pkcon install-local RPM_FILE_NAME
I recommend Mapzen and OSM Scout Server (Valhalla) for the best results.
How to get back to Poor Maps official:
* you should be able to upgrade to current Poor Maps version in OpenRepos (version number in the "voice" branch should be smaller than the current Poor Maps)
* if upgrade does not work - uninstall Poor Maps and reinstall it from OpenRepos
To avoid any confusion, this unofficial version is not going to be uploaded to OpenRepos. Get it from OBS manually, if you want to test it.
