Where can you get this 'flite' to get voice guidance on the N900 ?

Re: [Maemo 5] Maemo Mapper - Where are the N900 threads?
 

I just did the update to "Mapper" and all the tracking function has disappear. Help!

"Mapper" was the only reasonable software on the N900 for doing off line GPS tracking.

Tap on the screen and choose the second button on the left :-)

Guestion / feature request:
is there an easier way to start navigating than do the following:
- tap on the go to icon
- select "address" on the pop up menu
- type in the address and hit the button
- search result is now shown on the map: double tap in the middle of the screen and hope you're hitting on the correct spot (there's no marker on the screen where the address you just searced is)
- select routing from the menu that pops up
- hit the button to start routing
- tap on the gear icon on the screen to open a dialog to set the map to follow you
- set the map to follow you and hit ok
- start navigating

Is there an easier way to do this all? At least the map should always follow you when navigating, that would drop the last two actions from the list above? And it would also be good to have some spot on the map at the address search result location.

mardy -- this is great news mate and iam glad you are working on the project :-)

maybe we could setup a donation page via paypal or something for a vocie guidance fund :-)

iam sure many users here would be willing to contribute towards the efforts of voice guidance on mapper

it would give many n900 users at least an option for something alot of users require untill nokia or someone else an sort there efforts out

i myself would be willing to contribute towards your efforts i understnad it is time consuming and can be frustrating but think of all the appreciation it would gain voice guidance on the n900 :-)

i had to use nokia maps the other day properley on a 100 mile journey where i didnt know the roads etc and it was a nightmare

also does mapper offer re route when a wrong direction is taken

again i appreciate your efforts mardy as iam sure many do here its allready very nice to use and a good app to have with some good tweaking it could easily be one of the best and must have apps :-)

thanks again mate keep up the good work

ps
i persume this downloads maps as it goes anyway of it using nokia maps data on my memory card :-) or another downloadable map source to save data :-) thanks again

This can be done more quickly:
- Tap on the route icon (third from top, on the left)
- download route to

Maybe. It could be that if the starting point of the route is set to the GPS position, then the "follow mode" is activated.

Version 3.0+beta2, which is in testing, adds a "Donate" button in the "About" dialog. :)

Thanks! I plan to fix the voice navigation, but it's not my top priority now (besides, I don't have a car, so I wouldn't use it much :) ).

You can download maps in Mapper itself, it is handy if you have a WLAN at home.

Re: [Maemo 5] Maemo Mapper - Where are the N900 threads?
 

To answer the re-routing question, Mapper does not automatically re-route when you take a wrong direction.

Re: [Maemo 5] Maemo Mapper - Where are the N900 threads?
 

Yes it does, at least for me.

Re: [Maemo 5] Maemo Mapper - Where are the N900 threads?
 

Huh? o.O

I guess I'll have to re-test it.
