Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 
I do not really wish to make extra work for Martin who has done so much work already to make Modrana an excellent program, but it would be nice if in a future update that in options there was a picker or text entry box to set the location where tiles are stored.

As the collection of tiles increases, it really does seem better to move them to a memory card, & editing the config file seems to often to lead to typo problems, etc.

And even better put them in a loopback mounted file with less cluster size (each little tile uses 64KB on eMMC).
See here
Or consider using SQLite DB, MartinK?

The reason is simple - Google doesn't like batch downloading and block further downloads once it is detected.

Nope, thats just the prefix used to build the URL, a valid one looks like this:

Well, you still need to get tile tiles somewhere first. :)

Which are the packages required? According to the listed dependencies, it seems that the rpm packages perl-DBI and perl-DBD-MySQL should meet the requirements, but, although I've installed them, I get the previous mentioned perl error message.

Thank you very much for any help.
Unfortunately, I don't have a Fedora installation at hand at the moment - well, you can try to just install everything with "sqlite" in name and check if it fixes the issue. :)

Yeah, the naming should really be changed to be more descriptive.
Only For Important Data means that no map tiles are downloaded but online routing & search are still allowed.
So maybe "Routing & search only" would be a better name ?

OK, I'll have a look at it once I have some spare time, shouldn't be that difficult. :) IMHO, entry box is a better choice, as the default Hildon folder chooser is dog slow & doesn't usually show all available folders (does it even show invisible folders ?).

Already implemented. :) The modrana.org wiki has more more information about how it works. You can also use the (above mentioned) Perl script to import the tiles you have already downloaded to the database.

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 
But the tiles location is shared between multiple map applications and if you use them to view the same location you will have the tiles stored twice, right?

Looks like Google Maps shouldn't be used when one needs to preload some areas (for instance before travelling abroad). Hoping
Google will change policy about that.

I got the point about the URL. My fault. My fault also the misinterpretation of mapconvert: I understood its aim was to download tiles off-line - typically on the PC.

It is possible that many tend to use one map application - I do, anyway. It does seem like the default should continue to be the shared maps directory.

Then, if someone is using Modrana & really needs additional storage space, the option is there to move the tiles to a memory card. It would be ideal if the other map applications also made the tiles directory configurable, but all things can't be made ideal!

I just thought of another feature that might be useful - POI's with alarms. Since the GPS is on already, & you can enter POI's, it could be useful to associate an alarm with the POI so you don't drive past it. I would add POI's for speed limit change signs & set a bong sound in areas that I sometimes forget to to speed up or slow down in.

Yes, I think so. Or, if tiles are the only things not downloaded when Only For Important Data is selected, then perhaps it could be named Don't Download Tiles.

Thanks very much Martin, for maintaining this package; it's by far my favorite map program for the N900.

Also if you use sqlite tile storage, there are so far no other navigation apps with support for the format other than modRana. This might change in the future as the format is open & documented here and the Cloud GPS developer mentioned having support for it on his roadmap.

I think most probably support this through their configuration files.

This is actually already a ticket for this from a long time ago. A new table in the POI database with rows bound to the POI ids would be needed. This table would store all the various alarms (more than one alarm per POI would be supported) & their metadata (distance, beep/spoken message, enabled/disabled, etc.). and you would have to assure that alarms are removed when a POI is deleted (this might be automatic given proper key arrangements are done in the database).

While I still think this is the proper way for implementing POI based alarms, your question got me thinking it there is another, more simple way how for handling alarms. :)

I asked myself a couple questions:
  • do the alarms need to be bound to POI after all ?
  • how to easily add an alarm without making a POI ?
  • how to make it easy for users to add many alarms at once (eq. with a script that generates them from a list of speed-limits/whatever) ?

Result: Plain-text alarm lists !
The alarms would be just stored in one or more plain-text files, one alarm per row with CSV notation.

Row notation might look like this:
Code:
lat;lon;distance;enabled;name;alert

51.178844,-1.826189;200;1;Stonehenge;Watch for the stones !
Explanation:
lat - latitude in decimal format
lon - longitude in decimal format
distance - trigger distance
enabled - 1 = enabled, 0 = disabled
name - displayed name
alert - any string other than BEEP or SAY would go directly to text-to-speech, BEEP triggers some default alarm sound, SAY: says whats after the colon (so you can SAY:BEEP :D)

What about elevation ?
A friend of mine is a glider pilot so the idea of 3D alarm coordinates has crossed my mind. Still, I want the format be as simple as possible (so that users can basically just generate the lists in excel/calc) and elevation would probably not bee needed 99% of the time. As a result, elevation support can be added in the future - probably into the distance field with some prefix (eq. ELEV:375,200)

How to add new alarms ?
There would be two ways: editing the alarm lists from the outside (just create a valid list and modRana will be able to use it) or interactively inside modRana (create new lists, add alarms from map/poi/coordinates, enabled/disable alarms, activate/deactivate alarm lists).

And now the most important thing:
What do you thing about this idea ?
  • did I forgot about some essential alarm parameter ?
  • any ideas for a better row format or an other technical solution overall ?
  • implementation/scalability concerns ?
  • or anything else ? :)

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 
The fact that sql-format of tiles database is documented and no other map application in N900 is using it, is IMO just a prove only modRana is actively developed and the best navigation software for N900. It is a shame the other map-application developers do not implement the sql-database system, which could be shared between applications.

I think I've installed all available map-, gps-, navigation- applications available for N900, but modRana is what I find most useful.

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 
IIRC, sqlite tile's database is on it's way for Marble too.

But, those whirlwind of development convinced me to try ModRana as well :) sounds like really nice tool.

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 
Sailor here,
Altitude is not a real (measurable) issue on the water. I'd suggest the idea to add content that portrays the angle to the next waypoint (either a visual or a measurement in degrees). This could open the way for efficient tacking (going upwind). BTW, I could imagine this would be too major an alteration. On the other hand, such a feature could come in handy for land driving as well btw. (i.e. for visualizing the general direction).

Anyway, absolute distance to next waypoint, too, could be informative as well and/or alternatively (i.e. to mark the 90 degr. position to a buoy, although 90 degrees normally is 'late' for a tack).

Cheers, modRana already is very cool. As said, maybe what I said is reasonably undoable, but I just wanted to describe from sailor's point of view.

Quick message...
First, I have made it so that labels for POIs are not displayed if zoom level is smaller than 13: POIs are too close to each other, the labels become a useless mess, and besides, when the map is zoomed out enough, locations (continents, countries, et cetera) can be recognized without any labels at all. Though, '13' should be replaced with an option to be set through user interface.
I am also creating an amusing kind of POI. If description of a POI matches 'airport', then, instead of the green translucent circle, an over-simplified image of airplane is drawn. And, an 'airport' doesn't have any label at all, no matter what zoom level: the number of airports is small enough than an airport doesn't need it.
And, the bright blue dot is replaced with a changing-colour one: bright green if GPS isn't available, yellow if GPS gives large speed and large distance till the point, red if the speed is large and distance is small, green if the speed is small and distance is large, black if both speed and distance are small. Speed is compared to pedestrian's 5km/h, and distance is compared to one hour of travel at current speed.
By the way, is it true that POIs are drawn even when they are outside the screen? It can make drawing work for cairo context about ten-twenty-forty times larger.
I'm still wavering: to install CSSU or not... Thank you for ModRana.

I think I'll just do it with elevation on the third place, to make the design cleaner and more future proof:
Code:
lat;lon;elevation;distance;enabled;name;alert
If elevation is empty, modRana would count the distance in 2D, if it is filled in, it would count the distance in 3D.

So basically a mode, which takes into account the order of the alarm points and shows the angle to the next one ? BTW, I think I'm a bit confused about the context of the angle - could perhaps provide a simple sketch illustrating how it would work ?

Anyway, I thinks that such "sailing mode" mode might not be that difficult to add, once the general alarms are implemented. :)

Good idea ! You are right that the labels are not really usable at low zoomlevels and this handles the issue quite nicely. :)

Another possible, but more complicated future solution, would be to group nearby markers and just show a single marker with the label displaying the number of markers in the group. Clicking the label would show a list of the grouped marker or something similar.

Well, why not. :)

It would be good to add and "icon" column to the database so that POIs can have both an icon and a full description, but this should work in the meantime. :)

Oh, I've finally got it ! Like this, you know how accessible the points are from your position, with you current speed ? Nice idea ! :)

Unfortunately yes, modRana just draws all points that were designated as visible, even if they are outside of the viewport. Also, I think the most costly is actually not the drawing but the calculations needed to compute the screen coordinates from the geographic ones and the distance, which currently happen every time the screen is redrawn.

Therefore, just looking what points should be visible doesn't help as you still have to iterate over all the points and check if they are visible, would not help due to all the unnecessary comparisons and coordinate conversions.

Of course, there is place for optimizations (the basic idea is to somehow reduce the number of points you have to work with at a time), the first one from the top of my head :
  • calculate the bounding box of the current viewport in screen coordinates (I think a bounding box represented by geographic coordinates might not actually be a rectangle)
  • then calculate a "border" bounding box, say 2x times larger
  • check what markers are in the "border" bounding box
  • as long as the viewport bounding box is inside the "border" bounding box, you can ignore markers that are outside
  • once you detect that the viewport bounding box is outside of the "border" bounding box, you recalculate a new "border" bounding box and check what markers are contained within

I'm sure there are also other ways how to optimize this. :)

Thank you. What about adding to each POI (or to each category of POI) additional options, such as zoom levels, or speed levels, or distance from POI, at which they will be displayed? Then some POIs, like bus stop, or bench, or shop, will disappear if you zoom out and look at the country, not at the city.

It's probably nice, but it's a bit confusing, and requires adding some options into the interface.

Well, if the viewport is remembered somewhere in geographic coordinates, it's possible to compare POI with viewport without converting geocoordinates of POI into screen coordinates. But I see the point: it's better not to have POI visible until it's needed, because the computations will be happening either way.

Interesting idea. Is it possible to somehow make it so that POIs are redrawn only when the map is dragged, not every second?

Well... I meant that there might be only one-two-four POIs in the viewport, and about forty-fifty POIs altogether (visible, but outside the viewport), and redrawing all the POIs, even outside the viewport, sounds excessive.

Thank you for replying. But don't integrate everything, or the program might bloat... It's not an actually useful or necessary feature, except for hiding the POIs labels.

If the conversion of geo coordinates into screen coordinates depends only on zoom, and not on current position/viewport, then screen coordinates could be permanently stored within POI, changed only when POI's geo coordinates are changed, and retrieved from here when POI is drawn, instead of being recalculated each time.

Generally, I don't have Internet while on the move (or consider it expensive, or it is too slow). And, I generally don't want to depend on online services to help me with something which I could have done myself. Therefore, I have made a prototype offline routing: user gives one start, one end, and many middle points, and they are turned into a "route". Though, it could be developed by requiring text input for each middle point, so that the user would write the speeches for espeak - like, "turn left", "turn right", "bus stop", "train", and so on.
I would be grateful if you could integrate this into one of the next versions. Thank you.
Edit: obligatory text input for each middle point added. Though, I still haven't tested the system anywhere.
Edit: Small edit ensures that turn-by-turn navigation interface does indeed work with handmade route. But I'm not sure whether the values of distance-meters are correct here.
Edit: mod_route.turn.zip is the latest file. Two others couldn't support turn-by-turn navigation.
Best wishes to all of you.

This is useful for more than just offline routing. I've been wanting a similar feature so I could route things like a long bike ride that does a loop and returns home.

So this is a vote for integration!

ModRana V0.32 has been release, with CLI interface imeprovements. Repost from the Saera thread:

ModRana now has quite a few new CLI options for use by Saera (and any other program or script):
Code:
usage: modrana.py [-h] [-d device ID] [-u GUI ID]
                  [--local-search search query]
                  [--local-search-location an address or geographic coordinates]
                  [--address-search an address]

  --local-search-location an address or geographic coordinates
                        specify a geographic location for a local search query
                        (current location is used by default), both addresses
                        and geographic coordinates with the geo: prefix are
                        supported; use "LAST_KNOWN_POSITION" to use last known
                        position EXAMPLE: "London" or

                        221b, London"
  --wikipedia-search search query
                        specify a local search query EXAMPLE: "Prague castle"
  --return-static-map-url
                        return static map URL for a CLI query (works for local
                        search, address and Wikipedia search)
  --center-on-position  focus on the current position & enable centering
  --set-zl zoom level number
                        set a zoom level EXAMPLE: 15
  --center-on-position-on-zl zoom level number
                        focus on current position on a given zoom level
                        EXAMPLE: 15
  --focus-on-coordinates geographic coordinates with the geo: prefix
                        focus on given coordinates, NOTE you can use --set-zl
                        to set zoom level, EXAMPLE: "geo:50.083333,14.416667"
Search
The search options work in two modes:

If --return-static-map-url is used, modRana loads only the most essential modules, handles the query and exits after printing the Url pointing to a static-map with the result to stdout.

If --return-static-map-url is not used, modRana starts normally and shows the search results.

Exit codes
If everything went fine, modRana returns 0, as expected.

If something went wrong, modRana exits with one of the codes below:
Code:
SYNTAX_ERROR = 2
SEARCH_NO_RESULTS_FOUND = 3
SEARCH_PROVIDER_TIMEOUT_ERROR = 4
SEARCH_PROVIDER_ERROR = 5
LOCAL_SEARCH_CURRENT_POSITION_UNKNOWN_ERROR = 6
Local search takes some time
When modRana does local search and no --local-search-location is specified, it starts the GPS and waits for up to 30 seconds for it to supply valid location coordinates.

If the current location is not determined within the 30 second time limit, modRana uses the last known position (if available).

Results
If more results are returned for --return-static-map-url, modRana just returns Url for the first one (this is also usually the result with the best accuracy).

It also shouldn't be difficult to add support for returning multiple results or to return coordinates or other information to stdout (maybe URL + result title ?).

Other supported options
It is also possible to set the zoom level, make modRana focus on a set of coordinates or center on current position.

Routing
There are not yet CLI options for routing, but will be added in near future. :)

How to use
Example - show address search result in GTK UI on zoom level 10:
Code:
python /opt/modrana/modrana.py -d n900 -u GTK --address-search "Prague" --set-zl 10
Example - return local search result at static map URL on default zoom level (15):
Code:
python /opt/modrana/modrana.py --local-search "pizza" --return-static-map-url
Feedback
Don't hesitate to let me know if you hit any issues or if you have any ideas for improvements. :)

I've been working on CLI options for use by external program like (Saera) till now, so I'll check your changes next. :)

Unfortunately, I am going on a long, likely offline trip, so I will not update Modrana now - offline routing is more important for me now than CLI.
Thank you for looking into my supposed changes. :)

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 
What could possibly be the problem if GPX tracks I have put in MyDocs/tracklogs don't show under modRana/menu/tracklogs? No matter what I put there, the two example tracks are the only ones visible. I just upgraded to V0.32.3, but it didn't work in the previous version either. Could there be something about the format? I've tried with GPX files saved with Mappero and GPX files converted from Google KML. But GPX is a standard in and of itself, is it not? And the files should at least show up in the modRana menu as long as they have the right name, should they not?

Did you put them into a folder ?
Code:
MyDocs/tracklogs/my_folder/my_tracklog.gpx
The my_folder folder should show up as a new category under Tracklogs and would contain an entry called my_tracklog.gpx. It list everything that has a .gpx extension, so even if the tracklog has wrong internal structure, it should at least show up here.

I agree that this is quite confusing, there should be at least an "import tracklog dialog" so that users can easily select a tracklog and modRana would then copy it to the correct folder. And also support for some basic operations, like moving between categories, renaming, deleting, etc.

MartinK: I did not put them in a subfolder, no. Figures I should've tried that. The GPX tracks do show up when put in a subfolder.

However, I still have the problem that they don't load properly... I have tried several different ones to try to figure out what could be wrong:

GPX tracks exported from ArcGIS - which is the Gold Standard when it comes to mapping software - will load, but modRana loads them incompletely. For instance, a gpx made up of several tracks will only display the track points and segments within the first <trk></trk> handle. Subsequent <trk> entries are ignored. If you want to take a look at it, I have attached an example of such a GPX file containing several tracks, where only the 3 points within the first track are loaded by modRana, but where ArcGIS, Google Maps and Mappero on the N900 all load the entire file. (It was too long to put in CODE tags, and I had to zip it to avoid "invalid file" message.)

On a side note, GPX files saved by Mappero will simply give a "loading tracklog failed" message. I would think this to be Mappero's fault, if it wasn't for the fact that I can accurately import Mappero gpx-tracks into ArcGIS or Google Maps without problem.

In fact, all my GPX tracks will display properly in Mappero, and their KML equivalents display properly in Marble.

I'm available if you want me to run some tests on your behalf.

Good find! I took a quick look at the code and it seems it (well, I wrote it myself - about 2 years ago :)) really just takes the first segment.

The Upoints library/module is used to handle the GPX format, but not all of the available functionality is actually used/supported in modRana at the moment (Upoints even supports KML & other formats). So it is possible Mappero just uses some other part of the GPX format that modRana doesn't support yet (wpt ?).

Thanks in advance !
It shouldn't be that difficult to fix the trackpoint-segment issue & look why the Mappero produced tracklog won't work. I'm quite busy at the moment (exams) but I should be able to get back at it (+merging in Wikiwides improvements) in a few days. :)

I'm looking forward for some serious stress testing of the GPX support in modRana from your side. :)

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 
Quick message... Two unrelated bugs.
1. Ampersand in POI name. It needs to be stored as &amp; (I don't remember why, but single & generates an error), and then converted to & when displayed on screen.
2. Loading POIDetail module should be done not only when user goes through menu to points-of-interest, but also when remembered POIs are displayed on screen at startup, otherwise clicking a POI (without opening POIs menu first) causes black-screen-of-restarting-the-map.
Thank you.

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 
now that google allows offline mode for google maps, it allows the device to download maps for an entire city. is that a new API that modrana can use because the existing offline / download mode in modrana is really slow (partly because google will detect if you're sucking up the maps and will block you).

any ideas?

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 
Just tried 1st time downloading offline maps to Android Google Maps (SGS3) and it really was quick. I wonder, if Google Maps marks those downloaded offline maps with device-ID or something, so if someone shares further those offline aps, (s)he will get caught? Or if I just want to use the same offline maps in N900 with some application.

edit:
Google Maps for Android (ICS) also allows to download route to offline use. But when testing it, I noticed if the size of the maps of an area exceeds 85 MB, it won't download but reports one must reduce the area.

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 
issue (multiboot stock kernel and 2.6.28.10-p50; CSSU1T; normal tiles)

-tracklogs do not follow actual path but a vector is drawn from start of tracklog to (whatever) current position

-tracklogs are (sometimes?) not shown until a color is chosen and at certain zoomlevels

I have this on both N900's I own. Reinstall or deletion of options.bin doesn't fix it. Would be happy to provide further data.

A big 'Thank You' to Martin for modRana. It is just an awesome and fun to use APP.
I have a question which may have been addressed previously but I cannot find it....
In my installed apps, I have modRana QML which only opens a completely blank white screen with absolutely nothing on it. I have to end task to shut it down. Can anyone guide me with a solution to have it open correctly?
modRana itself is working perfectly......

Really depends on the storage format, if its just a bunch of tile images with the standard scheme used by Google Maps and OpenStreetMap, they can be used right away. If it is stored in some kind of (encrypted ?) database, that would be a bit trickier. Can you check out the file format on your device ?

What does CSSU1T mean ? Is that CSSU Testing or Thumb ? For the record, I'm running on CSSU stable with Extras-Devel enabled.

There should be some errors in standard output. So just start modRana from the terminal:
Code:
modrana
And post the output. :)

ModRana QML is the new alternative GUI for modRana, based on Qt & QML. It is quite basic at the moment, but not really that basic (it does show a lot more than just a white screen :) ).

Do you have CSSU installed ? The QML GUI basically requires it to work correctly, as the Qt & PySide versions on stock PR 1.3 Fremantle are too old & buggy for it to work correctly.

Also, please try to start modRana QML from the terminal:
Code:
modrana-qml
And post the output. Thanks ! :)

CSSU 21.2011.38-1Tmaemo4 and CSSU 21.2011.38-1Tmaemo2.1
@MartinK - I've got extrasdevel enabled too, no other problems except for a missing "reject" button of the calling app (what I think isn't of influence). If you'd like me to flash and make an exclusive install of any of the cssu testing versions or any other reproduction pls let me know, it may take a while but I'd do my best. Issue: minimal number of trackpoints while tracklogging (2, 3 or 4 points).

@all - Could ya folks post experiences of tracklogging if in CSSU Testing setup?

Reply to Martin RE:
ModRana QML is the new alternative GUI for modRana, based on Qt & QML. It is quite basic at the moment, but not really that basic (it does show a lot more than just a white screen :) ).

Do you have CSSU installed ? The QML GUI basically requires it to work correctly, as the Qt & PySide versions on stock PR 1.3 Fremantle are too old & buggy for it to work correctly.

Also, please try to start modRana QML from the terminal:
Code:
modrana-qml
And post the output. Thanks ! :)

Hi Martin, I did try to run from the terminal but still the completely white blank screen.(I was going to post the output from X-terminal but don't know how to save it as I only have FreOffice & it would not save the file? Which APP could I use to save the output?)
I then installed 'CSSU Features' but when started it shows "The Community SSU is not installed. Some features might not work correctly." Then a message "ERROR: Reading the configurations settings gave a FATAL ERROR while reading the gconf values. Not all settings are available. Exiting....."
Starting modRana QML still gives the completely white blank screen.
At one point the phone completely froze so I am a little concerned. Perhaps I should just live without QML and just continue to use modRana which works A-OK :confused:
Many thanks for your input

Oh you meant creating tracklogs in modRana, not just displaying them. :) I remembered that there were some graphical glitches when I last tested track logging. I checked it out again and it seems to be actually quite broken:
#194
Code:
* logging trace is not shown on map until a color is selected
 * if a tracklog detail has been visited, the logging menu "tools" goes to tracklog detail "tools"
 * logging intervals seem to be ignored
 * tracklogs that are created seem to be corrupted or in wrong format
I'll try to do something about it. :)

What can be so wrong/ different (f.i. from standard configuration of N900) ? Any do's & don'ts in these basics I'm completely ignoring?
Thats weird - this:
Code:
from __future__ import with_statement # for python 2.5
should be on the first line in /opt/modrana/modules/mod_location/gps_daemon.py. Maybe try to add it manually to see if it helps ?

It is actually rather weird that it works for anybody considering that line is missing. :)
I'll try to push a hot-fix ASAP, just in case.

EDIT:
Hotfix submitted, no need to manually edit anything, just update to V0.35.5 and try if GPS works. :)

This looks like outdated Qt version.
( the PinchArea is available in QML since Qt 4.7.4). Do you have CSSU installed ? From the log it looks like you are just running PR 1.3, which has only Qt 4.7.0. :)

Basically -> no, CSSU == no modRana QML (but you can still use modRana with the classic GUI just fine :) )

Confirm V0.32.5 has it there (line 19).

Oh, now I see it:

I checked the modRana package dependencies and indeed - the python-hildon package is missing. :)

Your re-flash is probably what exposed this bug, as other users have probably already installed something, that has python-hildon as a dependency, so it works for them.

I've added the missing dependency in V0.31.6 - so please test. :)

@beermad

Using your perl script I am getting the following error -

DBD::SQLite::st execute failed: datatype mismatch: bind 5 type 1 as png at mapconvert line 80.

Any workaround ?

OK, I've got a working Perl script to import map tiles into the database.

At the moment, it won't run on the N900 itself, as I'm having a few problems getting the SQLite module to build on my scratchbox installation; I'll work on that over the next few days when I have spare time and see if I can get that working.

Dependencies: You'll need to install the Perl DBI and DBD-SQLite modules. These should be available from your disto's repositories (otherwise, get them from CPAN).

It took about 75 minutes to import my 200 000 tiles into the database on my dual-core Athlon machine; obviously this will vary depending on the speed of the machine it's done on. The script is interruptible - just hit Control-C and it'll shut down cleanly. Then restart at your leisure.

Getting it to work on an OS other than Linux is left as an exercise for the reader, as I'm happily Microsoft-free.

It demonstrates well the oft-mentioned clustering problem with FAT partitions; my tile files allocated 12.5G of space, whereas the store file is only 543M.

Instructions:

Download the script from http://www.beermad.org.uk/mapconvert

Either copy your ~/MyDocs/.maps directory to your Linux box or mount your MyDocs partition on it. Try to preserve the timestamps if copying (as they're recorded in the database, I assume they're used to work out if a new copy of any tile is needed if they've changed on the tile server) - for example, if using scp:
Code:
scp -pr ~/MyDocs/.maps mycomputer:/tmp
The script only works on tiles in the current working directory, so for each map-type, cd into the relevant directory:
Code:
cd /path/to/tile_directory
Then run the script (no parameters needed).

If necessary, copy the lookup.sqlite and store.sqlite.* files back to your N900.

If there are any tiles already in the database, it leaves them there and it doesn't try to over-write any if one it finds already exists (at some time I should change this so it does over-write if the tile file is newer).

If you already have tiles in a database, I recommend making a copy first, just in case anything goes wrong. I've tested the script a fair bit, but can't guarantee something won't screw up.

I've testdriven on a highway, because GPS launch was succesful :) and regular.
