Little more info you find also: http://pekkar.blogspot.com/

MapWidget is widget that shows map. And do some other stuff.

It should be easy to develope programs that need map information by using this widget.

MapWidget based on Gnuite's Maemo Mapper.

This is first version and there might be some bugs.

err - is there a more detailed explaination? And is this chinook only

Re: MapWidget 0.1 and Maptile-loader released
 

I think you would do yourself a favor if you'd post some more explanation, maybe demo code, screenshots ?

Zero details = zero downloads.

Re: MapWidget 0.1 and Maptile-loader released
 

I write tomorrow more detailed story.

MapWidget source code and demo program is avalable in garage.

I have installed this on my OS2008/N800 and have come to a dead end. It is shown as an Installed Application but does not show up as an app.

So I am bit unsure as to what to do next?

Re: MapWidget 0.1 and Maptile-loader released
 

It's most likely a home applet, Reb.

Re: MapWidget 0.1 and Maptile-loader released
 

That's what I thought too but it doesn't show up there either.

I am sure pjr will come through in a few days time, so I shall keep an eye open for his announcements

Re: MapWidget 0.1 and Maptile-loader released
 

Going by the description it is a library (or rather two - a map management backend and a GUI frontend) that facilitate embedding maemo-mapper functionality into other programs - with a soon-to-come demo application.

Hi,

Like I promised, here is some more info.

MapWidget is meant to use in application that needs map. You can iclude widget in your own programs, source code is in garage. From header file you can find what you do with it.

I made also demo program for testing. It is just demo program.

How to use MapWidget_demo:

1. Download and install maptile-loader to IT. https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_...elease_id=1164

2. Download MapWidget-0.1.tar to IT and extract it.

3. If you want to see some icons, copy pictures to "/usr/share/cityguide/pictures/poi/" directory.

4. run MapWidgetExampleChinook or MapWidgetExampleBora.
(run-standalone.sh ./MapWidgetExampleChinook)

Maptile-loader starts automaticly when example program starts.

Few pics.

Start.

You can do as many maps you
want:http://s.o4f.org/~pronkko/demo2.png


Map WIdget is not anykind of "real" program. Its meant to use with inside other applications.

Much clearer now, thanks.

Re: MapWidget 0.1 and Maptile-loader released
 

Yes, thanks for the info. It looks way cool.

Re: MapWidget 0.1 and Maptile-loader released
 

pjr, this is in fact quite close to a function I have envisioned as a feature in an application I'm working on (the feature would be to show a map matching the area the main application is processing). I shall take a closer look at it later!

Re: MapWidget 0.1 and Maptile-loader released
 

Ah!

A future Claws mail plug in perhaps?
