[ANNOUNCE] Metromap-fremantle

Hi!

I've just released MetroMap 0.1.3e and it's already queued to extras-devel repository. This application offers metro maps for 7 cities (Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kiev, London, Berlin, Paris, New York). More than 100 more maps are available from pMetro project (http://pmetro.su/Maps.html). For all cities you are able to see metro map, calculate best routes betwen stations, browse stations info. Actually this app is a port of python app metromap (http://metromap.antex.ru) to hildon.

Additional maps are stored to /home/user/MyDocs/MetroMap (or N900/MetroMap as it's seen from filemanager)

It's available
In garage: https://garage.maemo.org/projects/metromap/ (metromap-fremantle package, simple metromap is old one)
In extras-devel: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...map-fremantle/
On maemo.org: http://maemo.org/packages/view/metromap-fremantle/

Volunteers are highly welcome to create new translations translations. Sample translation can be taken from /opt/metromap/locale/ru/LC_MESSAGES/metromap.pot

New translations may be uploaded to 'Translations' garage tracker of MetroMap project, located at https://garage.maemo.org/tracker/?at...40&func=browse

Changes in version 0.1.3e are:

* Fixed bugs:
[5904] Fixed bug with custom maps erasing from /home/user/MyDocs/MetroMap on uninstallation/upgrade. Due to the nature of the bug, upgrade from 0.1.3d to 0.1.3e STILL ERASES custom maps, all subsequent upgrades from 0.1.3e will keep maps in place

Changes in version 0.1.3d are:

* Added features:
[5898] Added support for internationalization. Added ru and en localizations

Screenshot: http://www.ljplus.ru/img4/_/p/_pine_/screenshot01.png

News source (in Russian): http://users.livejournal.com/_pine_/209505.html#cutid1

Your bug reports and votes are highly appreciated

Votes to move package from extras-testing to extras are accepted at http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...ntle/0.1.3e-1/

regards,
Pine (Nikita)

I'm using Metromap on Diablo/N810 and it works VERY well on US city maps.
Thanks for this!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Metromap-fremantle

wow this is a great application . .can you add New York please?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Metromap-fremantle

silvermountain,
pls note that if you'll take new US maps from pMetro site (pmetro.su), they won't work - metromap-fremantle is currently based on pMetro Y2008 map format, and current pMetro format is slightly different.
Your comments on your experience would be great - i don't have plans to visit US, at least till this autumn :)

yep, maybe silvermountain can share his NY maps in old format? I don't have these now, so the only thing to offer from my side is to wait till new format support :) I think it will be in 1-2 weeks

I've downloaded Paris map from http://pmetro.su/Maps.html , and Metromap does not start anymore after choosing Paris in the town selection menu.

Here is the trace when launching Metromap from terminal :

Toronto: http://pmetro.su/Toronto.htm#googtrans/ru/en

Not sure if it's subway, bus or train :)

Edit: I missed where it was mentioned above that these map formats doesn't work for N900 (?) and that the new map formats wont be available for 1-2 weeks - so try on your own "risk" :)

Pine has said these maps will be supported in the next version. I think silvermountain is using a different version to us.

If anyone finds a compatible Paris map in the meantime though I would find this very useful.

wait so the .pmz files aren't supported right now? Tried putting them in /opt/metromap/data and it can't find the maps I downloaded from pmetro.su. Thanks for the help.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Metromap-fremantle

I've been waiting for this kind of application, thanks.

Once you add support for the new pMetro maps format it would be great.

pine	2010-05-10 06:33

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Metromap-fremantle

Guys,

Let me clarify the situation one more time: I've looked inside PMZ files and discovered that format of pMetro maps was changed in 2008. So if you'll find OLD pMetro maps, you can use it right now. MetroMap (both PC and Maemo versions) uses that old-and-rusty format right now because PC version was not updated since 2008 and I simply modified it for Maemo. So, there are at least two ways to live with:

1) wait till I'll change map format - it's not an easy and straightforward task, but I estimate it for 1-2 weeks
2) find old format maps somewhere

I can easily imagine that everyone wants his city, but that's the matter of time, i hope :)

I think that it's possible, but in general I'm trying to keep the same maps that pMetro project (http://pmetro.su/Maps.html) offers. If you really need it, we can arrange it, but first I should contact Boris Muradov, who is pMetro developer.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Metromap-fremantle

Very nice application. Before, there were a lot of one-city applications that weren't suitable for a daily basis. Thank for your work

Some suggestions for future releases:
- Do not start on first run of the application with a default Moscow map, as the user might want to load any other else and it takes some time to load.
- When in the map selection screen, add the posibility to return to main screen by clicking outside the selection menu.
- The full-screen button could be an overlay at the right-bottom screen (like in MicroB) when you are in compact view. It should change between normal and compact view, I think there is no need for a full screen - not compact view.
- Place the information bar at the bottom of the screen (like urlbar on MicroB).
- Zoom in/out buttons in the information bar.
- Zoom in/out with gestures (swirl finger or double tap) would make it almost perfect on fullscreen.
- When tap on the information bar (with a route established) show a resume of the route.

Regards

i spend almost 5 months of the year in moscow and i am a big fan of your app... great job!... (if you ever get some time, madrid (where i also spend about 5 months) and washington DC would be extremely appreciated too)...

EDIT: i've got the maps i needed from the website you mentioned, kudos & thanks!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Metromap-fremantle

hey, i think i just found a bug with the latest upgrade... whenever i want to change the city, it allows me to select a city but it doesn't exit that menu anymore (i'm in moscow map, using a zoom of 80%, i don't know if that's got anything to do with the bug)...

...no, zoom was not an issue, i tried again at default 100%, and again it stayed in the menu without being able to get out... i had to reboot both times... nothing else works... :confused:

Also it looks like I've broke zoom - some maps are not zoomed correctly now - in that case just restart the app and you'll get new zoom.

Moving on, I just installed this and a few points:

1) I changed from Moscow to London. The change took a very long time (seemed like several minutes ... at least long enough for the screen lock to kick in a couple of times) while "London" was highlighted as my choice but the option list didn't dissapear (and if I tried to click on the blurred background it would flip back to Moscow).

2) I eventually left it in peace and it did load up London - but the title bar still says Moscow

3) I think I may be very dumb, but having entered a random to/from journey, the app has put a dotted red line around both stations on the map, but I can't se any option to calculate a route (and there is nothing like the screenshot where an estimated journey time is shown). What am I missing?

EDIT - removed pointless feedback which related to an older version of the app

@pine: great new release. i hope i can get my favorite maps
running with it.

metromap crashs when changing the default map in
~/.metromap/rc, for instance Bonn-Koln or Dusseldorf do not work.
are those maps from pmetro.su just broken or is it a bug?

changing the zoom level requires a restart of the app.

i didn't see a link to english, but i do know a bit of russian so i managed to get them... thx... and i've got a tip for you: when you hover over the maps with your cursor, the links shown down in the status bar of your browser give you the name of the city in english... ;-)

Spent about 3 days on trying to do so, but still no success. There is a special C library to do that, but my experiments on binding C code to Python are not successful yet. Anyway, I keep trying :)

Zoom is quite slow now, so you'll have to wait for about 10 seconds for each zoomlevel. Another way is to pre-generate map caches and ship it in the package.

Anyway, thanks for your ideas!

I'll check it. That's what I've wanted to get form the community - obviously I cannot try all 100+ maps myself :) BTW, why are changing rc file directly? You can change default map from app menu.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Metromap-fremantle

When trying to load Madrid.pmz map, it stalled at 50% in "parsing map data".
Once restarted, the default map was changed in the rc file to Madrid, and the application crashes immediately.

The default maps work like a charm.

.

I don't see any option to chage default map in the app menu? I have "to"/"from", "map", "time of a day", "zoom", "time delta", "about" and "compact view" (8 buttons) when I select the app menu form title bar? Again, I feel I'm missing something obvious here - is there another menu in the app that I don't see?

EDIT - D'oh! I have d/loaded the extras-testing version 0.1.2b rather than the new -devel one. Sorry :-(
