Re: Navit GPS (and libgarmin) for os2008
 

hello,
i wonder if it's possible to set up navit.xml to work with minigpsd.
reason for this is the smaller footprint and more important the ability to configure the time intervall of logged track points.
alternativly, how can i do this with default gpsd? logging intervall of 1s is not very handy.
or probably, there is a gconf setting?
thanks!

Guys, when im here:

svn co http://libgarmin.svn.sourceforge.net.../libgarmin/dev libgarmin - ITS OK

cd libgarmin - ITS OK (with ls i can see the autosh.sh is there, so its right, the archive is there in the right place)


and when i put:

./autosh.sh

terminal returns:

/bin/sh: ./autosh.sh: not found

What happens?! i have root i try a lot of things, i try apt-get install autosh and nothing...

im stucked here, what can i do????

Hi,
You are missing something called from the script:
/bin/bash, aclocal,autoheader, automake or autoreconf.

Try running them one by one:
aclocal
autoheader
automake --add-missing
autoreconf

That should tell you exactly what's not found.
Install it and run autosh.sh
if it's the shell (/bin/bash) change it to /bin/sh.

have fun,
alex

Ok, thanks for the fast answer. (I'm the guy who has mailed you. :))

Please tell me how to install them, they are all missing. :(
(It's the first time I'm working with linux terminal commands. I'm glad to have svn installed on my own. :D)

Thanks!

Re: Navit GPS (and libgarmin) for os2008
 

I can't tell exactly how, but it should be the same way you installed svn.
In the package manager search for autotools, automake, autoconf, libtool.

Re: Navit GPS (and libgarmin) for os2008
 

Tnx for the help, i will try it, but i dont know how to make this search and how to install this missing packages :/

Re: Navit GPS (and libgarmin) for os2008
 

same problem here.
svn installation was easy instead of this. ("app-get install subversion" and here we go. so the package was already on the tablet but not installed I think.)

I have found this: http://repository.maemo.org/pool/diablo/free/
There I can find all needed files but I don't know how to install them.

Re: Navit GPS (and libgarmin) for os2008
 

From console/terminal try:
apt-cache search <searchterm>
apt-get install <packagename>

Re: Navit GPS (and libgarmin) for os2008
 

No. Only Format 1 Maps(non-NT), which are not locked.

Re: Navit GPS (and libgarmin) for os2008
 

they don't help.

now I'm trying to get the files from here http://repository.maemo.org/pool/diablo/free/ (*.deb files) but I always get a "not compatible"
I don't understand why they are not compatible. I'm in the diablo direction and I have diable installed (RX-44_DIABLO_5.2008.43-7_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM)

Re: Navit GPS (and libgarmin) for os2008
 

Ok, It was a lot of work for a linux beginner but now I have a working scratchbox in my Ubuntu VM.

(The ./autosh.sh error from above depends on the missing of some files. You can get it with "apt-get install makefile".)

my commands after installing the scratchbox and diablo SDK:

Now I have a new folder called navit with a lot of files in it. What I have to do with that folder?
(I have tried to build a deb with dpkg-buildpackage, but I get an error because there is no changelog file.)

If I get navit working well I will write a step-by-step how-to for noobs. :D

Re: Navit GPS (and libgarmin) for os2008
 

TNX BLUE!

I will wait for your step-by-step for noobies :D

Tnx a lot :D

Hope u can do it! :D

Re: Navit GPS (and libgarmin) for os2008
 

Want to use minigpsd with navit.
Someone must know how... Please share!

Re: Navit GPS (and libgarmin) for os2008
 

i want to know that too.
but i afraid the use of the standard gpsd is hard coded in navit?

Re: Navit GPS (and libgarmin) for os2008
 

I have had a problem with maps.
I installed last navit and download map from http://downloads.cloudmade.com/
and I put to: media/mmc1/Maps

I started navit and waited GPS fix, but map wasn´t function :(

Please help me :)
(sorry for my bad English)

Re: Navit GPS (and libgarmin) for os2008
 

So after trying to figure out how to deal with the problem of finding the properly named town I have finally discovered right there on the NAVIT page that it does not support US States or zip codes. How long and how many updates have there been to this program and it STILL does not recognize states? This is TOTAL BS. TOTAL. That makes using this program next to useless. Why? Because if the list of places falls off the listed towns you can't even scroll down to them (800/810). How has this clear FAIL even kept going for so long?

I'm even thinking this fail is worse than having MaemoMapper with Russian characters and an internet dependency for routing.
