wait so the .pmz files aren't supported right now? Tried putting them in /opt/metromap/data and it can't find the maps I downloaded from pmetro.su. Thanks for the help.

Excellent program!

Would be very happy if you could add Chicago to the mix. Keep up the good work!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Metromap-fremantle
 

I've been waiting for this kind of application, thanks.

Once you add support for the new pMetro maps format it would be great.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Metromap-fremantle
 

Guys,

Let me clarify the situation one more time: I've looked inside PMZ files and discovered that format of pMetro maps was changed in 2008. So if you'll find OLD pMetro maps, you can use it right now. MetroMap (both PC and Maemo versions) uses that old-and-rusty format right now because PC version was not updated since 2008 and I simply modified it for Maemo. So, there are at least two ways to live with:

1) wait till I'll change map format - it's not an easy and straightforward task, but I estimate it for 1-2 weeks
2) find old format maps somewhere

I can easily imagine that everyone wants his city, but that's the matter of time, i hope :)

See the details in initial post.

Your votes to move project from extras-testing to extras are highly welcome at http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...antle/0.1.3-1/

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Metromap-fremantle
 

I think that it's possible, but in general I'm trying to keep the same maps that pMetro project (http://pmetro.su/Maps.html) offers. If you really need it, we can arrange it, but first I should contact Boris Muradov, who is pMetro developer.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Metromap-fremantle
 

Very nice application. Before, there were a lot of one-city applications that weren't suitable for a daily basis. Thank for your work

Some suggestions for future releases:
- Do not start on first run of the application with a default Moscow map, as the user might want to load any other else and it takes some time to load.
- When in the map selection screen, add the posibility to return to main screen by clicking outside the selection menu.
- The full-screen button could be an overlay at the right-bottom screen (like in MicroB) when you are in compact view. It should change between normal and compact view, I think there is no need for a full screen - not compact view.
- Place the information bar at the bottom of the screen (like urlbar on MicroB).
- Zoom in/out buttons in the information bar.
- Zoom in/out with gestures (swirl finger or double tap) would make it almost perfect on fullscreen.
- When tap on the information bar (with a route established) show a resume of the route.

Regards
