Re: Maemo Mapper: GPS for the Nokia 770
 

thanks.
acttually.. I'm thinking of a way to do some simple gpx calculations while offline.. but that's another story... :)

but for now, what I really want is to be able to send the gpx requests to a socks proxy, (set up localy), so that I can bypass a firewall...
:rolleyes:

ps: thanks for the tip. I didn't think of that! :)

Re: Maemo Mapper: GPS for the Nokia 770
 

Hi, I just got a 770 from a friend in Nokia for free with a bluetooth gps rx'er :) ,as its old hat now that the new 800 is around.

This is a great program, so thanks to all those that have developed it, and I have it working fine in the uk with Virtual earth Hybrid/sts/imagery; also google sts, but can't get google imagery working - one issue.

Another thing I would like to do is load topo maps for walking eg 1:50k and 1:25k. Is it possible to load your own maps with say an ESRI world file:
Line 1: A, pixel size in the x direction in map units (ususally deg long per pixel)
Line 2: D: rotation about y axis (ususally 0)
Line 3: B: rotation about x axis (ususally 0)
Line 4: E: pixel size in the y direction in map units (ususally deg long per pixel)
Line 5: C: x coordinate of the center of the upper left pixel (51.45256)
Line 6: F: y coordinate of the center of the upper left pixel (-1.27247)

or possibly a geoTIFF, which has the geo coding within the tif header?
Hence one could scan, or download a piece of map, coordinate it using either method the load into a separate directory fo use? I can supply examples of both world file with tile and geoTIFF>

The only other way would be to cut up the map into the exact pieces that Maemomapper file directory expect, could be v labour intensive, especially the file creation/naming.

Cheers.

No, this is not possible with Maemo Mapper. And I hate to say it, but it probably will never be supported directly within Maemo Mapper. This is (I think) how GpsDrive works, and that's how Maemo Mapper started out, but it's just too cumbersome to work with on an scale larger than just a few dozens of maps.

It is possible to write a script or program to convert a GpsDrive-style image/metadata into Maemo Mapper's expected file hierarchy, but like you said, it would be a bit of work.

Topographic maps are available in the form of WMS maps. See this page for example URI formats.

Note that you must install "proj" in order to use these maps. You don't however, need the patch mentioned on that website, as it has since been integrated directly in Maemo Mapper since version 1.3.

Re: Maemo Mapper: GPS for the Nokia 770
 

Thanks Gnunite, any idea where the repositories for GpsDrive and "proj" are; I shall experiment more....

Oh and do you know the url for google sat imagery in the uk, I have been looking at the html code but am new to this I think the answer is in this bit

Re: Maemo Mapper: GPS for the Nokia 770
 

GpsDrive is a separate application, not a repository. It's used primarily on laptops, but there used to be a Maemo port of it. I'm not sure if that still works. :rolleyes:

proj is available in any of the Maemo Extras repositories now (mistral, scirocco, or bora). You can install it from the Application Manager. Or you can download and install it from here (that package should work on both the 770 and the N800, despite it being in the bora repo).

Re: Maemo Mapper: GPS for the Nokia 770
 

Looking for some help. I'm living currently in South Korea
trying to get maps to display in maemo mapper.
I downloaded maps views using win-mapper
but don't understand how to open the maps
with maemo-mapper without getting the gpx parsing error.
can anyone help me?

Re: Maemo Mapper: GPS for the Nokia 770
 

What version of maemo mapper are you using, on which tablet OS ?
Have you also tried getting the maps from mmapper itself on the table ?

Maybe I missed something, but I was under the impression that winmapper had not been updated in sync with mmapper, and the two were now incompatible ?

Re: Maemo Mapper: GPS for the Nokia 770
 

hey. I'm using maemo mapper with nokia 700 os2007, but when I open settings the first two fields (bluetooth and file path) are gray, can't select them. help? :)
