[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

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 :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Metromap-fremantle
 

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

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Metromap-fremantle
 

I actually just used the maps from here: http://pmetro.su/Maps.html

Works great on my N810 :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Metromap-fremantle
 

Very nice indeed :) Could you please include Toronto subway as well? Thanks

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Metromap-fremantle
 

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 :

~$ python /opt/metromap/metromap.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

ValueError: min() arg is an empty sequence

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" :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Metromap-fremantle
 

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.
