Karttabrowser - N9 map software for OziExplorer map format
 

Hi,

I recently made public "alpha" version of my little mobile programming project. The goal of the software is to browse raster maps with OziExplorer calibration format in Nokia N9. GPS navigation and such basic tasks work decently.

I haven't been very active on this project lately, and it's not really ready, but decided to publish it in case someone else might find use for it. I probably continue development when the summer approaches and I need maps again. In any case, basic functionality should work already, so if you need a software for OziExplorer maps on your N9, you might be interested in this.

The link to N9 .deb binaries: https://bitbucket.org/juhop/karttabrowser/downloads

You can also find the source code from those repositories if you're interested.

Instructions:
- go to https://bitbucket.org/juhop/karttabrowser/downloads and download the .deb file
- install the file on your N9
- run the application, you should see black screen. close the application
- copy your maps to /home/user/MyDocs/Maps/ folder (or if you mount your phone as mass storage, you should see Maps folder)
- maps should have a .map file and an image file
- start Karttabrowser, open map, enjoy


Things I'm planning to do:
- in map list screen, give an option to filter maps to current GPS location
- show distance in landmarks
- UI tweaking
- hmm. Sailfish version?

Feedback is of course welcome.

Wow...interesting....

One question.... and for the N900?

Re: Karttabrowser - N9 map software for OziExplorer map format
 

Unfortunately I don't own N900, so developing would not work for me. Small part of the UI would have to be rewritten because now it uses some Harmattan specific components.

Hi,
What exactly is Harmattan-specific? Looking at debian/control and MapBrowser.qml I don't see anything that wouldn't run with latest qt-components-10
If there's indeed something specific, maybe you'd adapt it for meecolay?

Re: Karttabrowser - N9 map software for OziExplorer map format
 

Thanks, I didn't know that. For some reason I though com.nokia.meego was somehow Harmattan specific. So if qt-components work in N900, it might be easy to build N900 version.

You should remove the applauncherd boost, as applauncherd port is not already working. But it's not a necessity.

But you have to remove the invoker command - just execute the binary

And add field
As PageStackWindow apps can't be blacklisted and double rotate when forced rotation enabled.

make on the N900:

my fault.....i have just added some include in the makefile to use qtm12-dev...
..the make gear is running...

mapmarkers.o: In function `MapMarkers::MapMarkers(MapCalibration*, QObject*)':
mapmarkers.cpp:(.text+0xf6): undefined reference to `QtMobility::QLandmarkManager::QLandmarkManager(QO bject*)'
mapmarkers.o: In function `MapMarkers::MapMarkers(MapCalibration*, QObject*)':

mapmarkers.o: In function `landmarkFromLid(QString const&, QtMobility::QLandmarkManager*)':
mapmarkers.cpp:(.text+0x19a): undefined reference to `QtMobility::QLandmarkId::QLandmarkId()'


...it seems to require a little more time...

Re: Karttabrowser - N9 map software for OziExplorer map format
 

You need to modify .pro, not the makefile. Read the link.

Well, if you'll get it to work on N900, it's nice to hear.

However, a little warning: I just remembered one thing that might be a big problem in N900. My application loads the map images to RAM, so the bigger the map is (in pixels), the more memory it will use. This wasn't a problem in N9, where there is 1GB of memory, but I don't know about N900. I'm afraid big maps might be totally unusable.

Good luck.
