Re: [Announce] Native offline maps: OSM Scout Server
 

New maps are out. Thanks to Martin for helping to fight some strange disconnects between our servers!

Re: [Announce] Native offline maps: OSM Scout Server
 

La question. See attached screenshots. On the left (Jolla), there is a map selection option that is lacking on the right (Xperia X). Why the difference? The server version is exactly the same in both cases (1.14.5-1.116.1.jolla).

EDIT:
I obtained the maps by downloading them on the Jolla and then copied the whole Maps.OSM folder onto the X. Could that have anything to do with it?

Re: [Announce] Native offline maps: OSM Scout Server
 

Map selection is available if you decided not use geocoder ability to search among all countries, for example. Then you have to let it know which country you are interested in. By default, it looks up among all databases available (as on the right)

[Installing and running current OSMscout Server and PureMaps versions under SailfishOS 2.2.1]

I didn't take the effort, as my surviving Jolla 1 has been relegated for testing purposes for a while.

But after blindly updating to the latest versions of OSMscout Server and MapboxQML from http://repo.merproject.org/obs/home:...mv7hl/armv7hl/ (I did not test, if that MapboxQML version was really needed, or if the one from OpenRepos would have done the job properly, too)
and the latest version of PureMaps from OpenRepos, everything (including voice navigation) seems to be working fine under SailfishOS 2.2.1!

@rinigus, thank you for your support and kudos for continuously evolving these already awesome gems of software: PureMaps and OSMscout Server.

Re: [Announce] Native offline maps: OSM Scout Server
 

@olf - thanks goes in large part to Jolla. They keep all versions nicely organized at OBS ans its rather trivial for the developers to add new builds and keep older versions supported. As long as users are fine with adding the corresponding repositories.

As for OSM Scout Server development - would have to work on that as well. Need to update Valhalla (shorter term) and work on geocoder. But would probably first rework that navigation flow on Pure Maps - as discussed a month or two ago

Re: [Announce] Native offline maps: OSM Scout Server
 

As we are getting OSM Scout Server packaged for postmarketOS, there are new users entering and, as a result, the concept of having separate server GUI takes some time to get use to. Hence RFC regarding https://github.com/rinigus/osmscout-server/issues/310

Best is to discuss pros and cons over there to ensure that we get cross-platform feedback on the issue

Re: [Announce] Native offline maps: OSM Scout Server
 

I am totally fine with an outsourced GUI as manager, downloader for maps (got used to it years ago, but cannot remember right now from what/where: symbian, n900?).
Else all other clients would need to implement that, too.

But I am also not strictly against ;)


(only thing to clean-up would be the modules:
fonts, still needed, right?
route, obsolete)

Re: [Announce] Native offline maps: OSM Scout Server
 

Fonts are needed only for Mapnik backend (modRana)

Router is not needed at all

Re: [Announce] Native offline maps: OSM Scout Server
 

@rinigus
would you then mark these packages on openrepos with that text, please?
(as both packages require a good amount of rootfs space, speaking from before-resizing-rootfs-and-deinstallation-orgy-on-OS-upgrades ;))

Re: [Announce] Native offline maps: OSM Scout Server
 

Done already and router RPM packages all deleted. But I kept router plugin page for that info

On Fonts package, the corresponding text is marked in BOLD
