just recently ported for the n8x0 under maemo garage.

https://garage.maemo.org/projects/tangogps-me/

Lets get some feedback

it is possible to have navigation/routing with that? or just mapping?

It works. For me it seems to run faster than maemo mapper.
Nice and simple app.

But:
- There are still some gui improvements needed
- We need a better .deb file with a .desktop file, installable from app manager

Can't install either from downloading from garage or the 'dpkg -i tangogps_0.9.3-1_armel.deb' in root mode method.

Something change?

Without any detailed information about the errors you get nobody can help you, sorry

It would be nice if you actually uploaded the real source of the tangoGPS that you ported, not the ORIGINAL source.

That said, I've uploaded a patch that creates a proper debian package, installable from application manager, compilant with policy, desktop file installed to the correct place and other goodies.

Nice ....
Now it becomes an alternative to maemo-mapper for some usage scenarios.

seems it need a gps fix before it can start downloading map data...

bongo | # 9 | 2008-12-07, 12:33 | Report

no, downloading maps works without gps but I've have an other problem with downloading maps. Some of the tiles are missing and tango won't download them.

Sorry, I've been dealing with a sick 2 year old.

The error I got was:
Unable to install tangogps.
Incompatible application package.

Since there is a new file I will try again.
