well okay thank you again for the explain but the positioning works with the n900 inbulid gps chip and not online like googlemaps usually works so thats the big Plus becouse its more precise?
The googlemaps web site can be as precise if you install the "geolocation" package for the browser and enable "sharing your location" with the google web sites.
My main goal with geeps is to offer a "as-native" user interface as possible and integrate the map application with other applications/web services on the n900. I particularly find very hard to use the googlemaps standard web site on the n900.
Hello
It it possible to make .deb for maemo Diablo (n8x0)?
Tanks
Kroll,
Unfortunately not easily (or at least I don't think so).
In order for geeps to track your location it uses the QtMobility location extension and I don't think there is an implementation of it for diablo.
I would need to implement the "location" service w/o relying on QtMobility but I don't have a external gps and my n800 doens't have an internal one so I can't test .
The only other option would be to create a version that can't track your current location but I am not sure how helpful that would be.

Thanks for your answer.
Okey, let me ask another question: Can you make some sort of native Google maps application just to make n8x0 users search something on google maps easy.
maemo mapper with layers is not very comfortable app for google maps.
Thanks.

Kroll,
I can try... just can't promise will happen soon...
If you or anybody has the development environment ready (scratchbox/diablo/qt) it should be a matter of just commenting out stuff that I can help pointing out and create the package. Otherwise I will try when I get a chance. (but backporting macuco for diablo is long overdue and I still haven't gotten to it).
This is just a simple fix so the application applies correctly the settings saved on the previous session to the map (traffic, bike, accuracy, map type).
It doesn't load map, just white scren, though when i switch to terrain i got the map. that's really wierd.
It can take a while (especially the first time) because it will have to download the map tiles.
The best (only?) way to get a feeling for what is going on is to monitor the cpu usage (I would go crazy w/o the "cpumem-applet" application/package). The CPU usage will be high any time the application is downloading maps.
