Yes, unfortunately I left the project dependencies somewhat broken. I'm devoting the next two days to maemo/meego hacking so hopefully I'll have some good Columbus related news soon! :D

I would like to ask whether there are features you can change the internal positioning data (fixed plus or minus)
To cope with interference with GPS location data by country
Such as China

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Columbus Navigation Toolkit
 

I'm not aware of such a problem to be honest. Do you have a link to some information on this phenomenon and I'll look into it. :)

Awesome app (althogh the latest version segfaults every now and then but it's in extras-devel so..), looks very promising! One suggestion: Highway mode. I've been looking for this feature in a lot of N900 GPS apps but to no avail. Here's an example:

The main thing is that you'd set a course between waypoints and the app would display a line and tell you both visually and numerally how far off course you are. This is very useful when navigating at sea where you set a specific course and need to stay within - say - 1 nm of the course. So a beep/alarm when you hit a specified distance off course would be great. Do this and I will insta-donate! ;)

Has this been fixed yet? I downloaded the latest version this morning and it still refuses to start up and run...

Cheers,

Steve.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Columbus Navigation Toolkit
 

After arriving here from this thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=62625 , I am curious of the code you used to handle sending/receiving Bluetooth data. What language did you use for this, and do you have any code examples to help us out? I'd really appreciate it -- Why the hell does Nokia have so much Symbian BT API documentation and nothing for Maemo? Ughhh...

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Columbus Navigation Toolkit
 

What package manager(s) have you used?

Try (as root):
aptitude purge columbus

It removes both 'columbus' and its settings files.

Then install preferred version. This worked for me IIRC (I used fapman to install the first time).

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Columbus Navigation Toolkit
 

Thanks for your response - I only saw that you had replied today which is why it took so long for me to post again.

I tried what you said and still got the same result: I start Columbus, the satellite dish flashes a few times then disappears, then the screen closes again with no Columbus. Do you have any other ideas?

@sperry
Have you installed CSSU?

Also, try from the CLI to see if you pick up the error message.
