[Maemo 5] Waze on Maemo?
 

So should we bug these guys?

Taken from the site

Re: Waze
 

there are already two comments (as for last weekend) on waze forum that speak about n900 and maemo. didn't check yet if there is a positive reply of any kind.

Re: [Maemo 5] Waze on Maemo?
 

The waze forums are the best place to make such suggestions.

Let's put some pressure in the forum in order to have a Maemo App :D

I use the symbian one on my E71 atm and it really rocks. This program is right in the spirit of open source communities :D

Re: [Maemo 5] Waze on Maemo?
 

Yeah...I'd post on the forum but cant find the registration Must be going blind.

an email from Waze :

"We are currently working hard on releasing waze for BlackBerry, so nothing set yet for supporting Naemo... but maybe in the future."

Re: [Maemo 5] Waze on Maemo?
 

waze has the source code for iphone, android, windows mobile, and symbian up on their website. (http://www.waze.com/wiki/index.php/Source_code)

would this be enough for the community port it to maemo if waze themselves dont have the time?

Re: [Maemo 5] Waze on Maemo?
 

nooo, did they really spell maemo wrong in the email?


thats so wrong . .. :cool:

hey daniel and the team thanks for the t-shirt and the car phone holder as a gift i got when tested waze for android

Re: [Maemo 5] Waze on Maemo?
 

bump, is this possible or do i not know my head from my ***? :o

Re: [Maemo 5] Waze on Maemo?
 

In theory but it depends on someone being interested enough to bother.

Re: [Maemo 5] Waze on Maemo?
 

I figured a free GPS turn by turn navigation solution powered by the community would fit right in here.

Especially since OVI Maps has been a disappointment and Sygic is, well, you know the story...

But if it isnt possible or way too difficult to bother that is another issue.

Re: [Maemo 5] Waze on Maemo?
 

Surely it would make more sense to integrate this into a protocol and allow other applications to provide the dataflow? If that could be done then all sorts of other applications could jump on board and hence the data feeds would improve. Maybe a suggestion to the service provider?

Re: [Maemo 5] Waze on Maemo?
 

We already have. It's called Navit with the maps from Openstreetmap.

Re: [Maemo 5] Waze on Maemo?
 

Navit still seems to be far from being stable and usable.
Also never hurts to have choices.
Although, it seems that Waze has more features (eg traffic updates in real time or adding POIs from within application) and that it would be easier to create maps on Waze vs Openstreetmap

Re: [Maemo 5] Waze on Maemo?
 

Let's hope someone will take a close look at this !

I really miss my wazer !!

Re: [Maemo 5] Waze on Maemo?

Re: [Maemo 5] Waze on Maemo?
 

That does look quite an interesting app, I'll have to take a look at the source and see how complex it is (as it will obviously need to be a re-write whatever happens)

Re: [Maemo 5] Waze on Maemo?
 

its not that they dont have the time, they say that they dont have the sorce code.
if the community has the source code then i hope the community itself can do alot bettr than others.
