Ok, is google at it again with messing up their mapping site??? I'm getting "Error: An error occurred while attempting to retrieve the driving directions - are the src and destination valid?" even though I know I'm using valid addresses.

I'm getting this too - if I use the route finding in maemo mapper I get junk routes :/ Hope this gets resolved soon, Maemo Mapper is awesome :)

Sorry for the delay. It should be fixed now.

No problem, I realize you're a 1-man army, thanks for the fix!

I tried getting routes today in Maemo Mapper. I had errors so I went to the http:/gnuite.com:8080/cgi-bin/gpx.cgi web page to get a GPX file for the addresses.

I obtained a gpx file for the route, but Maemo Mapper gave the following error:
Error Parsing GPX file.

The file looks ok in a word processor. I was wondering what could be wrong?

Re: Maemo Mapper http://gnuite.com:8080/cgi-bin/gpx.cgi/directions.gpx
 

Ditto, same parsing error message.

Re: Maemo Mapper http://gnuite.com:8080/cgi-bin/gpx.cgi/directions.gpx
 

I too get this error, even now.

Dit, to the I-to.

I am getting this error too.

As if more confirmation were needed, I'm seeing this as well.

Re: Maemo Mapper http://gnuite.com:8080/cgi-bin/gpx.cgi/directions.gpx
 

I think I know what this is. Download a route from the http://gnuite.com:8080/cgi-bin/gpx.cgi/ within a wb browser. Look at the last waypoint line before the arrival line. It looks like this:

<trkpt lat="" lon="">

Delete that line. Remember to alter the previous line from eg:

<trkpt lat="51.30526" lon="-0.79368"/>

to

<trkpt lat="51.30526" lon="-0.79368">

to allow the <desc> tag to be fitted in and it seems to fix the problem. I'm not sure if this is a problem with the directions site or maemo mapper (I'm running version 1.4.6 on N800).

Try it and see if it fixes it.

grim was right. Google changed something in the way the last waypoint was being specified. I've fixed the web service.

Sorry for the delay - I just got back from business travel.

I can get routes and addresses now. It is awesome. Thanks very much for the bug fix

Re: Maemo Mapper http://gnuite.com:8080/cgi-bin/gpx.cgi/directions.gpx
 

sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but I am curious if http://gnuite.com:8080/cgi-bin/gpx.cgi is opensource as well as maemo-mapper?
as in available for download, would be great to be able to host off my own server as I am part of a town wide wireless network and would work great when out of range of hotspots...

Cheers
