Re: [Maemo 5] Maemo Mapper
 
when keying in address, i assume it uses google maps to search. what if google returns multiple locations? for example i tried routing to address of "mcdonalds" near my area but it shows invalid location

For all those having issues with Mappero crashing: please help me debug the issue, by following the instructions reported here:

https://garage.maemo.org/tracker/ind...id=29&atid=185

By the way, can some admin rename this thread to "Mappero"? There is no maemo-mappero in maemo5 :-)

Re: [Maemo 5] Maemo Mapper
 
btw, where does this app store the downloaded maps?

@droll
.maps under MyDocs

I have a problem with mappero, it does not follow my gps location.The screen stays at the same place while I follow the route and ultimately the route just goes off screen,with the screen staying at the origin location!
I also messed around with auto center settings but didn't work.Using version beta12, can anybody help

thanks, @techie. mine uses up about 350mb at the moment.

the autocentre works fine for me but sometimes it can lag a little. what autocentre setting are you using? i'm on lead and i left the rest at default.

I have tried with both lead amount fixed and speed based.Played with the sliders, changed pan sensitivity but nothing works.I got this problem in ver beta9.I updated to beta12 to see if it fixes but the same thing happens:(

My apologies if this seems obvious and you've already played with this option, but one never knows...

When you tap on the map and it brings up the little gear icon (edited - actually I now believe this icon is supposed to be an eye, since it is brings up the "View" option menu - haha) on the bottom of the screen, then you choose that icon, do you have "Auto-Center" set to something besides "None"?

fat32 filesystem
 
I suspect the large storage requirements have a lot to do with the FAT32 filesystem used for MyDocs. The block size is 64k so each file will take 64k no matter if it is 2k or 40k.

The solution would be to either use NTFS or another storage layer on top of the filesystem like sqlite - with the drawback that you'd need to use tools to manage the cache and is less interoperable with other applications (for example, I understand cloudGPS can use the mappero tile cache).

This is completely unacceptable to waste so much space.

I had tried all the settings.So removed it completely then installed and set the auto center using gear icon and this time it worked.Thanks.

Hi

Can someone point me in the direction of how to get the turn-by-turn voice to work?

I'm currently using beta 12 and routing is working superbly, however, voice navigation - I'm not so sure.

Any guidance or help would be muchly appreciated.

Many thanks,

LW
