looking for POI icons

The name of the icon file should be "[category-name].jpg" (all lower case) or "[poi-label].jpg" (even if the icon is a PNG file).

It would be great if somebody could provide a set of icons for the default categories, e.g. simply packaged as poi.tar

Not that a know of. You can use gconftool-2 to modify settings individually. Use "gconftool-2 --help" or google gconftool-2 for help on how to use gconftool-2.

Otherwise, just use Maemo Mapper itself to edit the settings...

For anyone else that wants to edit settings in a file:
To save all settings to a file:

Code:

gconftool-2 --dump "/apps/maemo/maemo-mapper" > /media/mmc1/MMMaps/testdump

To load all settings back in from the file:

Code:

gconftool-2 --load=/media/mmc1/MMMaps/testdump

No... It's hard enough to get them from Google Maps.

With this patch, I get a Segmentation fault when I try to download Sat photos from google. I have three repositories set up, one for each of:

Code:

http://mt.google.com/mt?n=404&amp;v=w2.11&amp;x=%d&amp;y=%d&amp;zoom=%d

http://www.terraserver-usa.com/ogcmap6.ashx?VERSION=1.1.1&amp;SERVICE=WMS&amp;REQUEST=GetMap&amp;LAYERS=DRG&amp;STYLES=&amp;SRS=EPSG:4326&amp;BBOX=%.6f,%.6f,%.6f,%.6f&amp;WIDTH=256&amp;HEIGHT=288&amp;FORMAT=image/jpeg&amp;BGCOLOR=0xCCCCCC&amp;EXCEPTIONS=NIMAGE

http://kh0.google.com/kh?n=404&amp;v=11&amp;t=%s

Only the last one produces seg faults. It fails even if I remove the other two repositories.
(If you use the gconftool-2 --dump and --load, & needs to be & in the file.)

Maemo Mapper v1.2.4 Released

This release fixes the startup crash when there are no settings, and also restores the broken "Download-by-Route" functionality.

As usual, the release is available for download from the Maemo Mapper Garage Files page, or simply update from the Maemo Garage Extras repository.

Or you can try something new: whether or not you have Maemo Mapper installed, and even whether or not you have the Maemo Garage repository set up, you can download the maemo-mapper.install file to automatically set up the repository and install Maemo Mapper. This is in testing, but it should work. (There is one issue: if you already have the repository set up, opening the file will not force an update of the repository, so it may not offer the most recent version of Maemo Mapper. You'll have to update your repository info manually.)

In addition to the bug fixes mentioned above, internationalization has also been fixed (it actually works now; sorry for the delay). There are currently translations available for en_US, it_IT, and nl_NL.

If you would like to help out by translating Maemo Mapper to your language (it's really simple; you do not need to know C or have any programming knowledge at all), please create a Maemo Garage account and request to be added to the Maemo Mapper development team, with a comment stating the language for which you would like to translate.

Should work with the patch for 1.2.4

I'm guessing this should read:

To come back to my altitude request: am I really the only one who would like to see the altitude info in the track, after saving?

And you forgot to mention, but not to code, a great improvement: now it remembers and auto-loads at startup the routes that where opened before quitting (and it works even with multiple routes!)

You're the one gnuite! Now it's a really usable app even without GPS... (provided the Google Maps service continues to work for free, and the GPX driving directions server continues to serve as well)

altitude / elevation

You're not the only one. I'd like altitude / elevation in the track, too.

I'd also like a feature where it would auto-save the track every time it got N new positions for the track so that if/when MM crashes or the battery dies or etc, I would still have my track.
