It won't see new layers added to modRana after Mappero development was discontinued, such as the Stamen Design layers, the OSM Public transport layer, etc.
Thanks for answering!

Hm, that does not seem to work. I have maps saved into .maps/GoogleVector/ but those are plain Google maps. Should not Modrana pick this up? (I have changed storage to files)

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 
Martin, is there any chance to merge your updates back into extras-devel? I get updates on other products, so there must be a way. I have added your repo to my list but I think such fragmentation is not good in the long term.

I upgraded to 0.38.1 last night and, on a whim, decided to do a big download. 160 km, all layers. It had done 37000 out of 1.4 million by the time I went to bed, so I let it work overnight. In the morning, I found a yellow pop-up saying that the operation was interrupted because of low memory. The phone was totally unresponsive. After 5 minutes of trying to coax it to react in any way, I gave up and pulled out the battery. After a reboot everything seems to work fine, only it took about 20 minutes to lock to the GPS signal. I would not blame modRana for that, I think it's simply the artifact of the GPS chip losing power. But the "low memory" error is a bit worrying.

On a personal note, I received your card a loooong time ago. I tried to PM you, did not get any error, but the PM did not appear in my "sent" folder so I assume it did not work. I did not have time to fiddle at the time and then... one thing led to another and I did not even realize how a month passed :) So... maybe a bit late, but thanks, it was very nice! :)

Hmm, thats weird - I remember setting it according to how Mappero names its folders but now it looks like it actually uses another name. :D

ModRana expect the Google maps folder to be called:
Code:
.maps/Google Maps
So, I see 2 possibilities how to fix that:

Editing the /home/user/.modrana/map_config.conf file and changing the Google Maps entry from:
Code:
[[gmap]]
  label=Google maps
  url="http://mt1.google.com/vt/"
  type=png
  max_zoom=21
  min_zoom=0
  folder_prefix=Google Maps
  coordinates=google
  group="google"
Into:
Code:
[[gmap]]
  label=Google maps
  url="http://mt1.google.com/vt/"
  type=png
  max_zoom=21
  min_zoom=0
  folder_prefix=GoogleVector
  coordinates=google
  group="google"
You basically just need to change to folder prefix. After that modRana will look for Google map tiles in .maps/GoogleVector/.

Please note that this file might get replaced by newer revision if a newer revision is available during a modRana upgrade - the old one should be renamed, not completely vanish.

Or if you just want to reuse the Mappero tiles in modRana, sou can just rename the folder so that modRana can see it with the default Google maps path:
Code:
cd /home/user/MyDocs
mv .maps/GoogleVector/ .maps/Google\ Maps

The autobuilder is still broken - I've submitted a new package just this morning and nothing. The last successful build was 6.11. and since then it is broken. Nemein reportedly upgraded the Python version for some reason, which broke autobuilder. I really hope they get their act together soon as many users and developers are left out in the cold at the moment. :(

See these two threads for more info:
Extras-devel package import stuck ?
downloads from garage.maemo.org fail?

BTW, theoretically it would be possible to dput a modRana package directly to the repository. But the guidelines say that only non-free packages can do that.

Hmm, that looks like a memory leak - I'll check out the code to see if I can find there does it originate from.
BTW, as it uses multiple threads & runs in the background it sometimes behaves in strange ways on Fremantle.

Yeah, this works, thanks. Will you consider changing the name of of the folder in the next version or would that be too much trouble? It would be nice if it worked out of the box, but I can see that probably there are not that many people now who would use it.

Never mind, as long as it's worked out in the end... :)

As an attempt to get back to the topic, I have a small suggestion. Though I suspect the implementation would be anything but small :) The idea is to save space by storing identical tiles and just cross-referencing them. Might be useful for those of us who live on an island: all ocean tiles are exactly identical.

Hmf... On the surface, the suggestion looks good. However, when deliberating on it, I decide that there are far too many blank spots on the map, and it would be much better to explore the ocean than to assume that it's the same everywhere. Exactly identical ocean tiles are boring. On the old maps of the times when Magellan and Vasco da Gama were sailing around the continents, in the Age of Discovery, many a sea serpent and beast were mapped. Currently, when wildlife is known much better - flying fishes, turtles, dolphins, whales, seals, sea snakes, eels, penguins and many others - they are not added to the maps, except, occasionally, tourist maps. Hence, boring ocean tiles.
Best wishes.

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 
When one downloads a large number of tiles, the download process pauses when the phone's backlight times out. It would be nice if that behavior were suppressed when a mass-download of tiles is taking place.

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 
Can someone offer me some advide, as it seems that google-routing with addresses has ceased to work for me here in Finland. Couple of months ago I was able to use address to address routing online with Modrana, but now it does not work anymore. I tried purging modrana from my N900 and removed also opt/modrana/ and /home/user/.modrana , but the routning does not work. If I use point to point I can get directions as always, but the address routing just prints to console

tbt: error no route

I tried with different formats for the addresses and also only city names, but nothing seems to work. It looks like google has dropped Finland from its database?

Any ideas how to troubleshoot or get the errors more verbose?

First, try Google routing in a web browser, to see whether Google has dropped Finland from its database.
Second, try Google routing in Modrana outside of Finland, to see whether this problem depends on location (North Pole, equator, random).
Third, try Modrana->Menu->Debug->Logging->Log stdout to file. It might make debugging easier.
Fourth, try Modrana->Menu->Search->Address online: does it work or not, and if not, then what kind of messages does it print?
Best wishes.

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 
Already tried Googles online routing with N900 and Opera, and it worked. Also the address search works ok in Modrana. Tried the routiinh in UK and got the same results:


route: address routing
route: routing from london, uk to manchester, uk
onlineServices: worker starting
Sending message: ml:notification:workInProgressOverlay:enable
worker: routing from london, uk to manchester, uk
Sending message: ms:turnByTurn:start:enabled
tbt: error no route
tbt: started
onlineServices: worker finished

The standard out to file gives same data as the running from console, so no extra help from there. I'll try to fiddle with the settings more and see what I can find.

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 
I tried the point to point navigation, and it gives the directions correctly and in the console it does routing ofcourse by coordinates, but when I click the routetools and then route info, it shows correct addresses for the start and end points, but even if I copy these addresses directly to address routing, it gives me nothing.

If nobody else is reporting any errors in their address routing I'm beginning to suspect it's my system that has the flaw in it. Is there something special modrana uses when doing address routing compared to coordinate routing, so I could check for example my network bits and like? I'm running currently freemangordons thumb2 compiled binaries and there are some network packages that are not stock in my system, so I might have messed someting up.

Kossuth 2012-12-28 11:16
Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 
Ok, now if I do a POI search for example to some place of bussiness or something like that, and then choose the search result and then tools -> route here, then I get directions. Yes!

What is strange is if I do an address search and then tap the point on the map and choose tools -> route here I get the directions, but it does not show me the planned route with the blue line, as it showed earlier when it was working normally, and as it shows currently with point to point directions and POI directions ??? I can tap the forward arrow and it shows the red circles for turning in correct places and gives the right direction, but it does not show the planned path. Wierd.

This is now semi working for me, so if anyone has any suggestion how to fix it further, they are welcome, but I consider the current state usable for me. Thanks MartinK and everyone else for this great software.

ModRana geocodes the start & destination coordinates to get these addresses - it call a geocoding API with a pair of coordinates and gets an estimated address for for the place on these coordinates.

This also works in reverse - you can give it an address and it returns geographic coordinates - which is what the address2address routing service does internally.

I've just tried it out with modRana running on my PC and it looks like address2address routing is currently broken globally.

Until recently modRana used some old & obscure routing API and I have recently switched it to a more recent one that also has more features. I'm sure the new API is used for point2point routing, but now I'm not sure if address2address routing also uses it or still runs through the old one (that might have got switched off ?).

As I've managed to reproduce the same behavior on a PC, it really seems to be a global issue.

BTW, I'll reply to the previous questions & write about new features now in development in the next post(s). :)

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 
Thanks MartinK for confirming that the routing is broken also somewhere else. I looked at the console messages one more time, and the address routing is printing the adresses in plaintext to console and then returning no route, but every other method (point to point, POI - route here, Address - route here) uses coordinates. It seems like the modrana forgets to convert addresses to coordinates before sending to routing.

I restarted Modrana couple of times and the strange behavior on the planned route not showing disappeared. So only problem now is the Address to Address routing you also noticed.

Well, sending the raw address is the intended behavior, as the routing service can do the address->coordinates transformation locally and so you can avoid the double (start, destination
address->coordinates roundtrip. Well, provided that it works at hte moment. :)

Might have been caused by some unhandled combination of variables. Could you send send me the terminal log if it happens again for some route ? There will be probably some exception indicating what went wrong while drawing the route.

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 
modRana 0.39.4 has been released ! :)
The main focus of this release are improvements to the QML interface - many of them of them visible & many "under the hood".

There are new icons on the main screen & in the info menu. Ans there are two new info pages in the info menu - one showing current speed in big friendly letters and the other showing detailed location info, straight from the GPS receiver. And on Fremantle, the default upper left minimize button from Fremantle Qt Component does not interfere with the mdoRana back button anymore. :)

Also the address2address routing bug reported by Kossuth has been fixed (it was actually caused by a typo, not an API break :) ) and modRana now also works better with Saera on Harmattan, as a few bugs that showed up when using the modRana command line interface on Harmattan were fixed.

As the autobuilder interface is still down & I've not been able to get direct upload to Extras working, you'll have to grab the up-to-date package from the COBS repository:
Fremantle package
Harmattan package

Changelog:
Code:
* Mon Dec 31 2012 Martin Kolman <martin.kolman@gmail.com> - 0.39.4
- fix missing import in N9 device module causing crash at startup
- fix QtMobility debugging being always enabled
* Mon Dec 31 2012 Martin Kolman <martin.kolman@gmail.com> - 0.39.3
- move fix status to the header on the Location info page
- use black text on blue background for the page headers
- new info icon
- QML GUI: only  import QtMobility once Application is instantiated
 - this fixes some DBUS warnings that might conflict with CLI output
* Mon Dec 31 2012 Martin Kolman <martin.kolman@gmail.com> - 0.39.2
- fix local search & static map URL regression on Fremantle
- fix some warnings spamming stdout for --return-current-coordinates on Harmattan
- add icon attribution file
* Mon Dec 31 2012 Martin Kolman <martin.kolman@gmail.com> - 0.39.1
- reworked QML GUI that should be less dependent on Harmattan Qt Components
 - all components are now locally available
 - only a toplevel PageStackWindow is used from Harmattan Components
- QML GUI improvements
 - new Location info page (shows details location information)
 - new Speed info page (shows current speed + average & max speed)
 - new map screen icons
 - uses the inverted theme by default
- fix --get-current-coordinates not working with QtMobility on Harmattan
- fix address2address routing not working
- fix the upper left minimize button interfering with the back-button in QML GUI @ Fremantle
Also:
Happy New Year Everybody !! :D

modRana website improvements

I've finally updated the changelog and moved it to a separate page. See it for yourself (all the way from 0.4 to 0.39 :) )

I've also added installation instructions for Nemo & replaced the outdated tarball with a link to folder containing tarballs for all recent modRana releases.

Finally got round to updating via the non-repository way, but trying to install the latest .deb fails with missing package python-imaging

This is expected when trying to update by using the .deb?

(after installing python-imaging via apt it installs and runs fine)

Yep, thats expected - the python-imaging dependency was added since the last Extras release (to enable the new negative filter feature for map layers), so if the package is being installed manually, the dependency also needs to be manually installed.

I've added instructions for adding the COBS repository entry to the apt sources list.

If you add the COBS repository like this, modRana will update automatically, as if it were in Extras.

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 
As for the cobs installation instructions for maemo, I believe there are several problems in the suggested commands - and I do not know enough about repositories to figure these out.

As given, the line

Quote:
echo http://repo.pub.meego.com/home:/Mart...tandard/armel/ ./" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/modrana-cobs.list
produces just errors, which must be due to the hanging "

So I have added another one where I thought it should be, like this

Quote:
echo "http://repo.pub.meego.com/home:/MartinK:/modrana:/modrana-fremantle/MeeGo_1.2_Harmattan_Maemo.org_MeeGo_1.2_Harmattan_ standard/armel/ ./" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/modrana-cobs.list
I then found that line in the modrana-cobs.list file, however it was still missing the "deb" at the beginning, I suppose.

Adding that gave me a 404 error, however, so this is where I have up.

I was able to manually download the deb-file and install it, on the other hand.

But it would be good to fix the installation instruction, I think.

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 
update: further below in the instructions, in the stanza referring to the N9 and the N950 (none of which I own, I have a N900) seems to be the correct syntax:

Quote:
echo "deb http://repo.pub.meego.com//home:/Mar...ttan_standard/ ./" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/modrana-cobs.list
So I did that, and it not only updated modRana but also added a couple of probably useful python things.

But it removed all traces of the icon or any other shortcuts. I can still start modRana from the command line by actually going to /opt/modrana/run, but I don't see why the installation had to remove my existing icons...

Can I get them back somehow?

MartinK 2013-01-14 11:03
Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 
Thank for noticing the error ! :)

There was a missing " & the deb prefix, also the armel suffix shouldn't have been present in the URL.

The fixed Fremantle@N900 installation instructions look like this:

Code:
echo "deb http://repo.pub.meego.com/home:/MartinK:/modrana:/modrana-fremantle/MeeGo_1.2_Harmattan_Maemo.org_MeeGo_1.2_Harmattan_standard/ ./" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/modrana-cobs.list
apt-get update
apt-get install modrana

That's because you installed the Harmattan package, that doesn't have a normal startup script in /usr/bin as on Fremantle & has different icons. And the system saw this as just an upgrade, so it removed any files belonging to the old package and not present in the new one. :) Just using the updated Fremantle installation instructions should fix this. :)

Yep, the QML GUI is still partially a mockup. Of I'm gradually adding functionality, so they should soon start working one after another. :)

The screenshots are from modRana running the QML GUI. On Harmattan the QML GUI is installed by default. On Fremantle the classic fully functional (GTK) GUI is used by default, but the QML GUI is also installed and has it's own icon, called "modRana QML". You can also run it from the command line like this:
Code:
modrana-qml

There is a little mistake in mapconvert script. Look at the 79th line of code:
instead of
Code:
$storeinsert->bind_param(6,$extension,SQL_INTEGER);
must be
Code:
$storeinsert->bind_param(6,$stamp,SQL_INTEGER);

OK, thanks ! :) I've updated the script.

modRana 0.39.6 has been released
Mostly just map layer updates though. :)
Code:
* Fri Feb 22 2013 Martin Kolman - 0.39.6
- map layer updates
 - updated URL to Mountain bike map (the map now also ocvers most of Europe)
 - added map1.eu layer
 - added International submarine cable map layer
- make sure the log file is automatically flushed if stdout is redirected
Links:
Mountain bike map
map1.eu

As the Extras autobuilder is still broken (but reportedly someone is working on fixing it), you have to still use the cutting edge modRana repository.

In other news, I have been recently working on porting PySide & Qt Components to BlackBerry 10 and Android. Both ports are working and ready to use, the Mieru BB10 port based on this even already available from the BlackBerry World. :)

So in the near future, it should be possible to run modRana with the QML GUI on Android and BB10. :)

Thanks again!
Just let me ask one question- just installed the latest version and this issue (the irregular horizontal and vertical lines in gpx-tracks) is still unsolved. Is there any chance to fix it?

Yep I remember It but I have not yet go to actually fixing it. Which is quite a shame since it has been more than half a year since you reported it. :) So I'll try to do something about it as soon as possible. :)

In other news:

Monav routing data update
The modRana Monav routing data repository has been updated so the routing data is now again up to date (the last update was in October 2012). BTW, data was processed on computational resources kindly provided by the Masaryk University Natural Language Processing laboratory and the update took only about 4 hors.

There are two new data packs:
the whole North American continent
Antarctica - with this, you will no longer end at Concordia by mistake when traveling to Vostok from Mc Murdo ! :)

EDIT: Added a link to the Monav routing data repository.

If you want to get a newer version of the tiles you already have, just delete the corresponding folder in:/home/MyDocs/.maps
Then download up-to-date tiles for the area you are interested in. :)

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system
 
modRana in Extras-devel has been updated ! :D

Thanks to the valiant effort of our new community sysops, the autobuilder is finally in a working state - which means I have been finally able to submit an updated modRana package, which has been built and is now available from Extras-devel ! :D

ModRana v0.39.8 replaces in Extras-devel the v0.36.6 built on the 15th of October 2012. For an overview what changed since then:
Code:

- map layer updates
 - updated URL to Montina bike map (the map now also ocvers most of Europe)
 - added map1.eu layer
 - added International submarine cable map layer
- make sure the log file is automatically flushed if stdout is redirected

- move fix status to the header on the Location info page
- use black text on blue background for the page headers

 - this fixes some DBUS warnings that might conflict with CLI output

- fix local search & static map URL regression on Fremantle
- fix some warnings spamming stdout for --return-current-coordinates on Harmattan
- add icon attribution file

* Mon Dec 31 2012 Martin Kolman - 0.39.1
