Is it possible to add to The GPX Driving Directions web service selection of miles and km:s. I have been editing my routes manually to make that conversion, but the selection of miles/km is allready awailable in maemo mapper and I Ithink (I do not know), that you can get km out of google too!

It is possible - it only has to be implemented by gnuite.
When querying google maps, you can add a parameter for locale
&hl=<locale> .

&hl=uk will give you english directions and km, &hl=de german directions, &hl=fr french directions ....

I have two questions for you:

- first: how could I manage to download and install the POI patch? I download it but the donwload manager does not give a savename because the file has no extension. Give one as I like, adding .armel.deb at the end, but I'm not able to install. When the file is selected through the application manager and the "Install" window appears, I have a 0 kb dimension, tough it is some 100kbs on the card.
- second: I read somewhere on these threads (I'd bet it was on this one but couldn't find it ) that someone was planning to release a software to automatically download them from the Google Maps page once specified the type. Did I dream about it or is it real? Or do we have to input each POI manually? This is ok for *personal* POIs, but would prefer an automatic procedure for, i.e., restaurants, gasoline, etc.

Last but not least: in a short time I'll receive a Belkin bluetooth GPS with a Sirf II chipset. Is there anyone using something similar? Is it working with Maemo Mapper?

Bye, Omar

Did you read "Quick start" *) on my webpage? This is binary not packages; just copy them to /usr/bin (as root!)

I agree, need sound. I was wondering if it would be easy just to put some prerecorded announcements in and just use those by parsing the desc text and playing the prerecorded announcment. Nothing fancy just:

"Turn Left"
"Turn Right"
"Bear Left"
"Continue On"

I don't want to get away from the the original idea of Maemo Mapper being small and nimble, but audible notification is a must have.
