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

Great thanks :)

Any reason for removing it from the menu?

Also have you used the tracking function much?

Running Mapper with tracking seems to put a very high load on the cpu making the N900 prone to crashing or at least getting really bound up where you cannot close any apps. It doesn't always happen, but it has several times now.

Aah! Cool, thanks! I knew I was missing something :) And I really didn't realize what that button did since I have finnish translation and that button says "load" instead of "download" so I though it was ment to load some previous route etc.

This is a good idea. Auto map centering when starting point is GPS.

And could it be possible to make map NON-rotating when not driving. That spinning causes headache when stopped to traffic lights ;)

Hi Mardy, I got one feature request:
- possibility to select whether onscreen buttons are shows all time on the screen or automatically hidden after some time.

I didn't find this option at all and I would prefer to have those buttons visible all the time without first tapping on the screen to get them visible.

Thanks for updating this great application!

When I try to insert an address for routing it says 'invalid address'...is this a bug?

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

I think it's because the google (or what ever calculating engine you have chosen to use) won't find the address you typed. I've found that working "syntax" is this:
"streetname housenumber town"
Ofcourse without " -marks and the house number should be written in numbers.

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

Mardy,

I've got a bit of a feature request but I'm not sure if it's a bit excessive. I plan to use Mapper for hiking, i.e. download the maps and routes before I go and follow the route over a few days. (Haven't figured out about the battery life issue but that's another matter...)

Anyway, would it be possible to come up with a screen that can be toggled on and off to replace the map view that would show journey information? i.e. a 'Stats' icon that would bring up a screen showing the following kinds of information:

* Distance travelled (total and/or since last waypoint)
* Distance remaining (to next waypoint and/or end of route)
* Time elapsed
* Average speed
* Estimated time remaining (based on average speed)
* Estimated finish time
etc etc

Perhaps the info could be displayed on 4 or 6 panels and configured with whatever the user requires through Options.

Not sure how possible any of this would be but it would be great if it was something you could look into.

Cheers,

JS.

Hi!

First i like to thank mardy for developing this great app!

Second i have been searching maps folder from my n900, but havent still found it. Im preloading maps for certain areas and i like to know how much space they take.

I dont yet own mmc but it in my future plans, so i would also like to know how to change default map folder to the mmc.

Thanks!

Hi Johann, 3.0+beta2 (which you can get from http://blog.mardy.it) has such a panel. The speed and estimated times are missing, but they shouldn't be hard to add. :-)

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

They are in /home/user/MyDocs/.maps/
The tiles are shared with Maep and eCoach, and it seems that the size of each tile is about 8-16kb.

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

You are going to need a way to charge the N900 while on a long walk. I suspect you will need the better part of two batteries per day, but it will depend on what other applications you are using and how frequently you look at the map.

I have been doing some testing, but at this stage I could not give you an estimated time.
