Re: Wayfinder maps updated!!!
 

I tried downloading the USA East map onto my device, it seems installed, since I can use it, but when I try to search for an address, it keeps coming back to me as address not found, more like "Can't find (number), try (same number) instead?". I also tried zooming down all the way into the map, I can't see any local roads at all.

Is it that my maps are corrupted or something? My Canada map works fine.

They've added a map for NZ (as part of Aus & NZ) which is fantastic for me!

Re: Wayfinder maps updated!!!
 

sorry to come late to the party, as I discovered the wlan timeout problem the hard way after trying for a couple of days, downloading maps overnight it would always die near the same amount retrieved. the different between each attempt being how long I played with the tablet before putting it down and its subsequent automatic disconnection. told it to never timeout and (after a very long time) it did it!

the other gotcha is that, on an n800, it will download to the internal card whether or not there's enough space. you can exit wayfinder, move the maps folder to the other card and it will detect the new location automatically.

Re: Wayfinder maps updated!!!
 

Do you have a link to this? Invariably the really cheap standalone GPS/mapping units I've seen get really poor reviews... and they're typically made by some anonymous Chinese company that will provide *zero* support and no map updates *ever*.

That being said, I wouldn't pretend that Wayfinder is all that great, but it does get the job done for me -- I've definitely gotten my $200 worth out of it (bought it way back, $200 included the Nokia GPS receiver too), and love having a single device (my N800) that works for navigation, web browsing, eBook reading, and movie watching (my main activities with the device).

You can download maps to your desktop machine and transfer them.

Would anyone be kind enough to upload some voices? I have been unable to download voices of the server. Thank you.

Re: Wayfinder maps updated!!!
 

My missus likes the default American voice, she giggles every time he says "..at the traffic circle..".
(living in England its known as a roundabout and theres lots of them)

Unzip this in your map/navicore/sounds/sound_eng directory.

Yes I know the audio is clipped. The audio has been boosted 12dB so you can actually hear it while driving.

Re: Wayfinder maps updated!!!
 

:D :) these anecdotes are priceless! I don't remember having this suggestion before, but for the record, it'd be nice to compile a (wiki) database of such if occurs more often.

The first time I heard about a roundabout I thought "what? around and about?".

Re: Wayfinder maps updated!!!
 

Well, these maps are nearly one year old. The Central European one has many mistakes (the same as the old 2006 version had!). Any news about map updates? I still feel I wasted money on this stuff. If I knew it was so useless, I would have sold my (originally lifetime) Navicore license before using it and cutting it down for only three years :S

WARNING! WiFi POIs are deleted!
 

I want to warn anyone who hasn't yet performed this upgrade... After I upgraded my maps from the 2006 version included in Diablo to the new 2008.1 versions available on the Wayfinder site, I noticed two unhappy things.

First, the new maps don't appear to be materially different from the old maps as far as I can tell in my area. They are still no later than 2002 and do not reflect the many traffic pattern changes in my area that have occurred since 2002. OpenStreetMap (available in Maemo Mapper) is MUCH more accurate, reflecting changes in traffic patterns that happened less than 6 months ago.

Second, the new Wayfinder maps do not have any WiFi POIs. Granted the old WiFi POIs were seriously out of date, but the new maps do not have any WiFi POIs at all. So if you use your Wayfinder Map application to find WiFi hotspots for your IT, you may want to think twice before upgrading your Wayfinder maps.

And finally, I wonder whether the disappearance of the WiFi POIs is causally related the appearance of "Boingo" as a pre-installed app in the 2008 OS? Did prior Maemo releases have Boingo pre-installed?

Re: Wayfinder maps updated!!!
 

You can import POI.

Re: WARNING! WiFi POIs are deleted!
 

boingo was pre-installed on my n810 when i purchased it new (in nov. 2007) and it was running chinook at the time

my current wayfinder maps have wifi poi's it is called wlan usa ( iam currently running diablo 43-7)

Re: Wayfinder maps updated!!!

tracy actually preferred getting directions from Todd than anything, now she gets lost in the car and drives aimlessly looking for a bus route to follow.

Re: Wayfinder maps updated!!!
 

Yes it looks like the navicore site is down. Does anybody have the USA East and West Coast maps to upload to megaupload?
