Re: Maemo Mapper v2.2 for OS2006/OS2007/OS2008

gnuite please can u tell me how flite_1[1].3_armel.deb can works on my n800 os2008! i installed it but when go for my map (Tehran,Iran),it said nothing!?

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.2 for OS2006/OS2007/OS2008

All flite does is announce directions (i.e. "Turn left at Main Street") as you approach waypoints. It doesn't text-to-speech any of the text on the map.

I've tried to do some searches for this, but how do I download all the maps for the east coast or any other region in advance?

I have an 8GB card in my N810, and would like the freedom to simply roam without updating as I go.

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.2 for OS2006/OS2007/OS2008

Get the area you want to download filling the screen, Menu, Maps, Manage Maps. Select the zoom levels you want, and the area defaults to the area you see. Select OK, and wait awhile.

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.2 for OS2006/OS2007/OS2008

Fantastic, thanks!

Wow, that's a LOT of maps, ain't it? LOL
Looks like a little repository trimming is probably in order or something. :D

The only way I could get older versions installed was to install the latest version and install the older version over it. Otherwise it wouldn't install because some file was missing.

At this point, I think I'll wait to see if we get an update to OS2008 or to try a different BT GPS receiver.

I have the same error with my Garmin GPS10 and Maemo Mapper.

Usually I get an "Invalid NMEA data", then it stays on "establishing GPS Fix"

I tried installing 2.0.5 but no luck. Any ideas or any fix (no pun intended) been found for this? Thanks. I have been able to get it to establish a gps fix with Carman and other gps programs(on laptop). I've actually been trying to get this to work on and off for 5 or 6 months without much luck. Quitting when I get too frustrated. Being able to use my N800 as a GPS would be awesome. Thanks for any info/suggestions

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.2 for OS2006/OS2007/OS2008

According to what I read, Google satellite allows greater zoom level and higher clarity images but the problem is that, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't use Google Satellite in maemo-mapper. I tried couple extra URLs but still got the message failed to download maps message. So i was wondering if anyone can help me with this thanks..

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.2 for OS2006/OS2007/OS2008

MM is such a great ap for the IT, Thanks.

I was wondering about the database compact feature. Every time I try to use it on a repository that has more than just a few maps downloaded, it eventually crashes MM, and often corrupts the whole database. I imagine it is simply running out of memory. I don't have virtual memory turned on, which I'm sure makes the problem worse, but I am a little worried about wearing out flash memory with it. In fact I just trashed out an SD card while doing a database compact! So perhaps there was a lot of writing going on there too.

So I wonder if it is possible to copy the whole db file to a PC (I have many running Linux) and compact the database there using some SQL-Lite compatible utility, then copy it back? If so, how do you do it?

I also use the IT and MM while hiking in mountains. I then do screen shots of our tracks on top of various maps and send them to others that were on the hike. A feature request would be an altitude gain/loss along a track.

Thanks j800. I figured out what was wrong. Some packages have been updated, so I updated your steps:

Here's the process I followed:
*Install new libgps17
**Get http://packages.debian.org/sid/libgps17/armel/download
**mkdir tmp1
**dpkg --extract libgps17* tmp1
*Install new gpsd
**Get http://packages.debian.org/sid/gpsd/armel/download
**mkdir tmp2
**dpkg --extract gpsd_2* tmp2
*Copy new files into place
**cp tmp2/usr/sbin/gpsd /usr/sbin
**cp tmp1/usr/lib/* /usr/lib
*Tweak libs
**cd /usr/lib
**ln -s libdbus-1.so.2.0.0 libdbus-1.so.3

So then, as described in another post:

edit /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf using your mac address and BT reciever's name:

power cycle to test the rfcomm's ability to bind on startup

at root prompt, "rfcomm" should report the receiver's data

in MM, open the settings dialog and choose the 'file path' option with "/dev/rfcomm0" as the path

then enable GPS.

Hopefully I can get some help with this one.
I recently re-flashed my 770 and re-installed Maemo-Mapper and have run into the problem where MM can't see the bluetooth gps.

I've followed the instructions quoted above with one tweak -
I've replaced

Code:

"*Install new libgps17

**Get [url]http://packages.debian.org/sid/libgps17/armel"

with

Code:

"*Install new libgps18

**Get [url]http://packages.debian.org/sid/libgps18/armel"

Alas it does not work. All the commands complete without error messages.
However the penultimate step presents a problem i.e.

Code:

"in MM, open the settings dialog and choose the 'file path' option with "/dev/rfcomm0" as the path"

- the file path option is grayed out with no way to enter "/dev/rfcomm0".

Does anyone have a way past this?

Re: Maemo Mapper v2.2 for OS2006/OS2007/OS2008

First of all, thanks for the GREAT app. MaemoMapper is rapidly becoming my favorite navigation tool, even over my all-in-one TomTom GO700 (which I've spend a small fortune upgrading and updating over the past few years). I'm this close >_< to giving the TomTom to my teenagers.

Question: I searched and browsed through the thread, as well as the Help file, but I didn't find anything relevant, so I'll ask it here:

Click for screenshot
(sorry for the link, but the embedded image option of this forum doesn't seem to work???)

The above screenshot of MM on my N810 shows that when I start to type in an address for a route where I've been before, that address is suggested to me. In the above example, there's only one suggestion, but sometimes there's more than one. Anyway, how do I select what is suggested in the list? I've tried tab (from the onscreen keyboard since there isn't one on the hardware keyboard), the D-pad, Enter, and all the other usual methods for this, but I can't get it to work. It sure would be a lot easier than typing it all in again. Is this a little bug on the N810 (because of the hardware keyboard)?

Thanks,
