For my N810

/usr/libexec/navicor-gpsd-helper

then maemomapper will see it using gpsd..

I can then stop (ctrl C) and exit xterm.. and as long as
mameo mapper is running it will hold onto the gps..

stop mamomapper and gpsd shuts down.,..

I wrote a shell script so I don't have to type so much on the
tiny keyboard..

#!/bin/sh
/usr/libexec/navicor-gpsd-helper

now.. any way to add a link to my startup script either into the
startup file for mameomapper.. or as a link in file manager or on the desktop???

One thing I noticed with /usr/libexec/navicore-gpsd-helper is that when you CTRL-C it, it doesn't shut down the GPS (even though the GPS icon goes away). You can tell that the GPS is still on by cat'ing /dev/pgps.

Strange, on my system the Icon stays in place...
What I was doing (before learning that telling it to use unspecified bluetooth would do the trick) was run the /usr/libexec/navicore-gpsd-helper, control-C it, THEN start the MaemoMapper application.
Exiting MaemoMapper then shuts off the GPS.

When I did a search for BlueTooth devices, the 6682 was an option. Even though I do not even have a phone of that model. Selecting it worked fine. GPS came right up. Wow! and I was getting ready to spend the money for the map upgrade.

I'll wait and see if MM will have those options as well.

I keep getting "Generic Error" when i try to request a destination in the download route section. Whats the best way to create routes?

Thanks

Any word on when maemo mapper will work with the built in GPS in N810?

Looks like the GPS api is documented here:

It works now. Tell it to use a bluetooth adapter but don't put a mac address in the box.

yes, but that's hacky. it would be nice to have native support for the built-in gps.

I'm sure we will, once gnuite has a N810 in his hands :-)

Gnuite,
I may have found a little bug or two.
770 w/ 2007HE running from mmc and Nokia LD-1W GPS.
When displaying the GPS info I noticed my altitude read negative while I was above sea level. The display showed a 3D fix and I was locked to 7 of 8 satellites at the time.
Also the bars showing the signal strength would often shrink to only one or two pixels in height. then come back minutes later to regular size. It never affected the lock or positional accuracy. Just looked weird.
Just FYI. Not complaining, I love the program.
