Re: Navit on N900
 

I started migration of the german guide here:
http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Maemo

I need to give it a try at my own phone, so I know what I'm writing about.
Anybody who likes to improve it, is welcome of course ;)

Re: Navit on N900

will help for proper translation ;)

Re: Navit on N900
 

Thank you both for your participation :)

@gianko Here is a short backgroundinfo about pendantic:
https://forum.navit-project.org/view...pendantic#p679
In short: it takes more roads (minor ones) into account, but has worse performance

Re: Navit on N900
 

I built and uploaded a new navit version, but did not yet test it myself. Lots of translation updates should be in there and a few bug fixed.

i tested the speed camera alert is working (it shout something like "attention speed camera!" through espeak). im using the config xml file posted by rainer. the speed camera was a node on a way, i didn't test if is working with a node on the side of a way

Re: Navit on N900
 

a new navit version (latest svn) is available from bokomoko repo thanks to rainer who built and uploaded it. not tested by him but seems working fine to me. he asked me to announce it here, because he cannot login on tmo anymore for unknown reasons.

cheers

ps: he explain to me also how to use mbrola to improve the voice navigation (better voices, less robotic) if there is interest i can post a little guide here ;)

Re: Navit on N900
 

Thanks for the effort and happy new year :)
I would be interested in learning how to use mbrola as I followed the german tutorial but I have problems due to the binary incompatibility with the italian language file.
Thank you in advance :)
Bye!

Re: Navit on N900
 

this is a small guide that worked for me

if you dont have, install espeak on N900 (apt-get install espeak)

Download mbrola arm version from this link:

http://www.tcts.fpms.ac.be/synthesis...nux/mbrola.rar

i downloaded on my pc, extracted, and transfered the mbrola binary file via ssh to N900 in /usr/bin/ folder. (maybe is possible to save some rootfs space putting the mbrola binary in /opt and then create a symlink from /usr/bin to the file)

for voices i found to ways:

you can download voices from http://www.tcts.fpms.ac.be/synthesis...brcopybin.html

download it4 package, extract, cause you need only the it4 file. then put the it4 file in a folder in MyDocs.

mbrola will search voice files in /usr/share/mbrola/voices/ so you need to create a symlink /usr/share/mbrola/voices/it4 linking to the file in MyDocs

another way i want to test is to use some mbrola voice files already present in espeak folder /opt/espeak/data/voices/mb/ (so no need to download a voice file)

to let mbrola work with navit just edit speech.xml file like this:

<speech type="cmdline" data="espeak -v mb-it4 -s 150 -a 150 -p 50 '%s'"/>

and should work!

-s sets the speed
-a sets the volume(av. 100)
-p sets the pitch(av. 50)
