After lots of fiddling about I got RoadNav to work, but it needs some serious optimization; used a ton of CPU/RAM.

Hopefully someone who isn't me can make it work better :)

Re: Koffice ?? Its been a productive month :)
 

Good to know! So there is hope :)

And how did you install it? Did you install it to KDE or Maemo?

Re: Koffice ?? Its been a productive month :)
 

PCQ, why do you want to use RoadNav instead of Maemo Mapper?

Re: Koffice ?? Its been a productive month :)
 

Maemo, but it would probably run just as poorly in KDE.

It was pretty tricky getting it properly configured, as the config panels need more than 800x480, so I ended up hitting tab a bunch of times to try to hit the invisible "ok" button.

I can't answer for PCQ, but I'd like to be able to set a destination address, and generate routes without an internet connection, and without doing so in advanced.

Also I like using the line maps to save space.

Since I'm running my 810 KDE ~97% of the time lately & while Maemo Mapper will run from xterm (how I've been getting maemo apps to run in KDE), it doesn't allow one to access the menus & this limits it functionality. I was wondering if RoadNav could be ported into PenquinBait's KDE.

I can always logout of KDE when ever I need gps, which isn't very often. In maemo, MM works great.

PCQ feel free to try my build of roadmap at http://maemobox.org/dblank/roadmap_1.1.0-1_armel.deb

There were some things I was planning on doing before sharing a .deb, but I forgot what they were :)

I don't know about the N810, but I had to run /usr/libexec/navicore-gpsd-helper and then have roadmap use gpsd to get it working on my N800.

Edit: you may want to edit /usr/local/bin/roadmap.sh, and add "sleep 10;" (without quotes) after the &, it takes my GPS at least a few seconds before it starts spitting out data. Also set --maps to wherever your maps are.

RoadNav generates routes on the fly? I'll have to try again to get it working. I still can't make it find my GPS on my EeePC, and I had just about given up on it. It's difficult to learn the features when the app doesn't work.

Re: Koffice ?? Its been a productive month :)
 

Hmmm... So far not able to get RoadMap to run on my 810. My gpsd isn't in /usr/libexec/ will have to look around and see if I can find it. I'll report back, if I get it working :)

Re: Koffice ?? Its been a productive month :)
 

Do you have navicore-gpsd-helper? I think there's other ways to get gpsd running, or at least get a device you can point to, I just don't remember how.
