Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system

OK, proj build. mapnik would build, but the build is so extremely slow, that it's inacceptable.

scons from the sdk repo seems to be using the scratchbox python, but scratchbox python seems to be missing the subprocess modules. Is my scratchbox broken, am I missing something, or do you have an idea what to do with it?

As the build with sbox disabled is too slow to be acceptable, I can't build mapnik 'til this is fixed.

/edit: /scratchbox/tools/lib/python2.3 seems to be missing subprocess on my installation

OK, mapnik builds, but libboost1.42 here is borked (python stuff missing)
I'd build 1.49, but I don't have enough time to get hold of all the deps. MartinK, Can you port libtorque2-dev ?

Thanks.

It only shows loading but not the internal map. I did the adjustments found here: [URL="http://wiki.maemo.org/ModRana_offline_routing_guide[/URL]

Also the map (Germany big) comes with the same behavior after updating modrana.

I installed this one half a year ago from here: [URL="http://monav.openstreetmap.de/mapsets/Germany_big.zip[/URL] and bfore updating modrana it works pretty fine.

Please find Xterm output attached.
Any help is appreciated.

Marting, after installing the new maps, still the same problem here, pls find Xterm output attached

Thanks.

Looking at the otuput of:

Code:

apt-cache rdepends libtorque2

as run on a Ubuntu 12.04 box (should be hopefully close enough):

Code:

libtorque2

Reverse Depends:

  torque-server

  torque-scheduler

  torque-mom

  torque-client-x11

  torque-client

  pbs-drmaa1

  libtorque2-dev

  libopenmpi1.5-2

  libopenmpi1.3

libtorque2 seems to be the dependency of openmpi, which I guess libboost is declaring as a dependency ? Well, I don't think we need mpi, so we should build boost without the openmpi dependency, getting rid of many other deps, including libtorgue2.

Also according to this Github issue reply from Mapnik developers, mpi-enabled boost is not needed to build Mapnik anyway.

Actually, modRana does not currently support using offline map packs. But modRana can do offline routing (finding a way between two points without internet connectivity) and that's what the routing data packs you are linking to are for.
So for offline map display, you currently have to use the "Download" submenu and preload map tiles for the area of you interested in. Also modRana stores all downloaded tiles, so if you visited an area with internet connectivity, when you visiti it again, even without connectivity, the tiles should be locally available.

BTW, regarding the modRana Monav offline routing repository, living on:
http://data.modrana.org/monav

It is back online with up-to-date correct data packs & global coverage! :)

I'll write a bit more about it in a later post. :)

I don't have any data. I'm just reporting what the developers say in the build warnings.

Users do say it's faster but it might be a placebo effect.

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system

Good news: Ladies and gentlemen, Mapnik is there! Latest version, 2.2. This doesn't require neither geos nor rasterlite ;)

Bad news: It requires newer gcc/g++. 4.2.1 is simply too old. Options:
1. use thumb toolchain (current approach), upload to non-free (and possibly require modrana to be built with 4.7.2) [if only that damn autobuilder allowed to build against cssu...]
2. use gcc 4.6 from extras and therefore possibly require to build modrana against gcc 4.6
3. Push it into my own repo
4. could be probably a temporary workaround, but still a workaround
Modrana could have a separate version then - with use of mapnik, and a plain extras-devel without mapnik

What are your opinions, how will we handle that

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system

If something uses thumb-toolchain (especially, if it *requires* it to work), shouldn't it just land in thumb repos?

ModRana could just use it as optional "module" (plug-in, or whatever), with functionality present if Mapnik from thumb is present.

Well, the modRana package is already shipping the monav routing server binary, so it would be possible to also bundle Mapnik this way. Not that nice as proper package and dependencies, but as long as it works... :)

Well, that would be a strictly internal Mapnik copy for modRana usage only. But sure, a proper package, preferrably from Extras-Devel/Extras would definitely be a preferred option.

All of these would work for modRana without any need to change how the modRana package is currently distributed (package in Extras-Devel/Extras). ModRana is all pure-Python code and there are not even any C extension, so no code at all that would need to be compiled. As long as you have a working Python and Py/GTK, modRana will work.

The same thing with Mapnik - modRana can check if it is present before using it (checking if the binary is present or maybe just trying to import it and catching the error). If Mapnik is available, modRana will use (regardless of how it is compiled and where it comes from) it and if it is not, modRana will not use it and display an error message.

Still, regarding my personal preference, I would say 2 and 1 are the best, as the Mapnik package could be just declared a dependency and pulled in automatically without the need for user intervention (adding a separate repo). If 2 & 1 don't work, I would be willing to add the Mapnik binary to the modRana package (so basically nr. 4), provided it is not too big (modRana already does this with the Monav routing server binary). I could even add different binaries (thumb/non-thumb, etc.) and use them depending on current environment, but that would be quite a hack.

BTW, unfortunately haven't really got to proper Mapnik testing, but hopefully will get to that soon. :)

Thanks for info, already using the official package. :)

BTW, according to THP on IRC, while the needed packages are already present in the official repositories, PyOtherSide applications can't yet be submitted to the Jolla store, but it should be possible soon.

Yeah, turns out Google nuked their perfectly fine local search API, that has been available for ages and replaced it by a new-and-shiny Places API, that might not support what the old one did or might bee too rate limited for proper use.

Will have to investigate and if the new API turns out to be usable, rework the local search code to work with it. At least before Google also nukes also nukes the new one. :)

Looks like also Wikipedia search was broken, but I've fixed that in Git.

If you have a device running Sailfish OS, you can install a testing modRana package from this URL:

http://www.modrana.org/packages/sailfish/harbour-modrana-0.45.3-1.1.1.armv7hl.rpm

Alternatively you can also add the cutting-edge testing repository by following following the directions from the modRana wiki.

I also plan to soon publish modRana OpenRepos and eventually also to the Jolla store (once it is actually technically possible to meat the Jolla store guidelines).

Waited for it since I saw a post of you in jolla together.

It worked good in a first test. But only scrolled on the map. My current location updated successful too. I'll report back if I tested tracking a bit.

Features like routing are yet to come, y?

It would be a good idea to change the thread title or post another thread in sailfish forum part if you are ready to give it to more then a handful people with a jolla getting lost here. :p

switching map layers (some layers might not work)
address and Wikipedia search
location stats display
both landscapes and portraits

Sure, I plan to do that once I publish it on OpenRepos. :) But I think I'll probably stick with this thread for the time being, it has been going for 4 years already and I don't feel like replicating stuff all the time to another one. :)

I wish the GPS was working in the N9 Sailfish port - then I could at least use the Jolla version if routing came to that first. Nokia Maps is just so frustrating, it keeps declaring "you can't get there from here".

Also regarding routing, vector drawing is basically completely different with Qt 4 (QPainter only) and Qt 5 (the hardware accelerated & tiled Canvas can be used), so at least for drawing the route there would basically need to be a separate QPainter drawing path only for Qt 4.

On the other hand, if anyone is interested in improving the Qt4 QML GUI, this is definitely welcome! I'm open to any sensible patches/pull requests and will provide assistance in getting started with the code. :)

So maybe due to the fixes & improvements added since Qt 5.0 it might not be that difficult to make it run also on the N9.

Re: [Announce] modRana: a flexible GPS navigation system

modRana for Sailfish is now available from OpenRepos !

Get modRana from OpenRepos

http://modrana.org/images/qrcodes/mo...pos_qrcode.png

Currently supported features @ Sailfish

showing current position and direction of travel on the map
map tile caching (each tile is downloaded only once)
a great lot of various map layers
supports both landscapes and both portraits
address search, powered Nominatim and based on OpenStreeMap data
- this is not strictly address search, queries such as "london tesco" will find all Tescos in London
- you can also search for resturants and other ammenities with unique names, such as "Delirium cafe", which will find the venue of the anual FOSDEM beer event
Wikipedia search
detailed GPS info display
about page & donation links ;-)

How modRana looks like @ Sailfish:

For more screenshot, you can visit the screenshot gallery.

Feedback welcome!
Even though I've recently published a testing package, it can be expected that many people will install it only now when it is more easily available. So, let me know how you like modRana on Sailfish! :)

Yeah, local search is definitely planed, the only issues preventing it from being already included like address & Wikipedia search is that a while ago Google nuked the API modRana for local search.

So I'll need to switch modRana to another API - either the the Google Places API or some other, hopefully more durable one (recommendations for a suitable local search API are welcome! :)).

new modRana package for the N900 has been released!

Following the Sailfish OS package release, I've also updated the modRana Maemo 5 package.
I't built fine in the Autobuilder and should soon be available from Extras-Devel.

Changes:

Wikipedia search should work again
more "night" icons for the Night theme
various fixes under the hood

Would it be possible to at least port the code that creates the route and gives turn-by-turn directions work on QT4? That way, even if you didn't draw anything extra on screen, you could still use modRana to replace the Drive app.

So basically what's needed is just a Qt 4 GUI for setting up navigation & showing current navigation status (next turn, distances, etc.). For offline routing, the Monav routing server might need to be recompiled (if the armv7 binary for the N900 does not work) for Harmattan and for voice navigation Espeak would be needed.

If you have some Python/QML experience, it should not be that hard to get at least the basics working & I'm willing to help you get started. :)

But I unfortunately can give a timetable to when I might be able to do this myself due to all the other stuff that needs to be done on other parts of modRana...
