I just sent Martin a patch that makes announcements speed-sensitive and calculates them in terms of time as well as distance. So when you're in town you can have short announcements and when you're zooming along you'll get a bit more warning.

If you want to install it yourself and you know how to use "patch", I've attached the changes.

Patch accepted ...and released in V0.26-1! :D

What's new ?

the above mentioned patch, obviously :)
fixed route profile overlapping X axis labels
background for the big route profile (you can click the small route profile to get a fullscreen one) so that labels are properly visible
the map should now redraw once a new position fix is available - there might have been up to 1s lag previously

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

Since installing V26.1 I no longer have GPS working. The GPS satellite symbol doesn't even appear at the top of the screen like it used to.
If I start up the Nokia Maps application on the N900 I do see the GPS Satellite symbol so I don't think it's an issue with the phone itself.

And yes, the GPS option is enabled within Modrana's settings.

Any ideas?

Thanks

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

is it enabled in the modRana settings (under location)?

btw, mine says it is an unknown version :)

I had some packaging issues -> thats why 0.26-2 is out already. :) BTW modRana does not know its version until it is packaged and a file called version.txt is written to its main folder.
Looks like this file was not written for some reason - I'll check it out once I'm back at my main development (and packaging) computer. :)

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

I think I had thihappen already with the new version (eq. GPS on in settings but not actually turned online) but I was not yet successfull in reproducing it.
Things to try:
* try to turn it off and on in modRana settings
* starting modrana from CLI and looking at the output
* renaming the profile file /opt/modrana/data/options.bin
* fiddling with the system level GPS settings

Im not sure how you run it from CLI but if you mean run terminal sudo gainroot and then type modrana then here is the output.

home/user # modrana
== modRana Starting ==
device string (first parameter): n900
process 2669: arguments to dbus_connection_get_data() were incorrect, assertion "connection != NULL" failed in file dbus-connection.c line 5757.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.

Aborted

Turning the GPS option off and on again in Modrana did not resolve it nor did renaming the options.bin file

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

Just to add, I have just checked Mappero on my phone and GPS still starts up and works normally.
