good point... guess I got a little too excited Fixed


I tried a different method to get voice navigation (since I couldn't figure out the xml parser or get it to work ). So inside the "medos\i18n" folder is all the localized settings, phrases etc. I noticed you used getDescription before to get the direction (which was genius, didn't even know it was there ). I decided to add a .sound to the ends of the important directions and link them straight to the sound file. I had a quick look at other languages and they all seem to have the same structure (ie same sound file names for the same directions). So i basically added this to the end of the locale.js file:
Code:

Now it will substitute the wav sound files instead of saying the phrases, and it seems to work fine kinda. This needs jhb's python server to run though, so its not totally dependent on html/javascript.


In terms of a usable ovi maps with guidance, not sure when it will be released (if ever). But personally I'll try share any code that works well enough just for testing purposes, and I assume others will be doing the same
