- 'proj' should be ready for installation (no graphics!)

Hiking in the Bavarian Alps with these maps worked fine for me!


-----------------------------------------------------------
Solved but left for others with same problem.

ReinhardE,
I installed the 1.2.4 binary and proj, but there seems to be a dissconnect somewhere. The BBOX values are all zero. here is how my WMS string look like in mapper and when it is sent out:

http://www.terraserver-usa.com/ogcma...MAT=image/jpeg

(from firewall log)
http://www.terraserver-usa.com/ogcma...MAT=image/jpeg

I don't have the GPS on me right now, and the only thing that comes to mind is that you are taking the coordinates form the GPS and not the screen position.
If I plugin the cordinates from mapper area and put it in a browser, I get and image like this one

http://www.terraserver-usa.com/Ogcma...eptions=se_xml.

Any Ideas why the %.6f in mapper are not converted.

------------------------------------------------------------

Never mind I looked at your patch and saw that you use string SERVICES=WMS(was mising from URI) to recognize WMS URI.
But I noticed that the maximum zoom is equal to Google but terra server provides higher res available on sat images, like this one

http://www.terraserver-usa.com/OgcWm...eptions=se_xml.

Is there a way to get something like this on mapper

Make sure the string is SERVICE=WMS!

I guess you can change the maximum zoom in principle, but I doubt that you can do it by a one-liner.

Hi,

I just have got a GPS reciever, the TomTom Wireless GPS MkII and tried it with Maemo mapper.

Mapper finds the device and when I enable GPS in mapper, I see for a moment "Searching for GPS receiver", immediatly followed by (really a fraction of a second, hard to see): "Establishing GPS fix". Then Maemo mapper crashes.

The device uese protocol NMEA 0183 version 2.2 (more specs in http://www.tomtom.com/lib/doc/Wirele..._NAV5_MOB5.pdf)

I don't know if it is relevant, but the GPS receiver has a pincode (default 0000). Mapper does not ask for it.
Another thing is that Mapper has a channel in the settings. It seems to find the GPS receiver only when it's on value "1", but the documentation of the device does not mention it.

The Nokia 770 is recently flashed with the recently updated OS 2006.

Any clue? Any suggestions how to debug this?

Thanks,
Herald

Yes, run from xterm (just type /usr/bin/maemo-mapper) , not from menu. Show output from maemo-mapper.

The only info it gives is: "Segmentation fault"

Standard answer: installl maemo-bt-plugin. Connect to gps. In xterm type:
cat /dev/rfcomm0 > /media/mmc1/nmea.txt. Wait for fix + 10s. Send me nmea file (cezary (at) eko.one.pl)

Just to inform the readers of the forum: The Tomtom receivers works perfectly as long as the receiver has found a fix.

If the receiver has not found a fix yet (or has lost it), maemo mapper will crash with a segementation fault. I don't know (yet) on which message maemo mapper crashes and how to fix it.

I have been using maemo mapper almost since it was released with "i-Blue GPS" receiver (with 2005 and then 2006-1 releases). I just upgraded the OS level to the lates release (SU-18_2006SE_2.2006.39-14_PR_F5_MR0_ARM.bin) and now the mapper can not connect to the PGS devise anymore. It does the scan in the settings panel and finds the GPS device and then when I enbled the GPS, it just stays at "Establishing GPS Fix" and nothing happens for hours. I verified that in the xterm, i can run "cat /dev/rfcomm0" as user and get gps output. I even tried the maemo-bt-plugin and that one can connect to the GPS devise fine.

Anyone have any suggestions I can try?
Thanks!

Since you can use maemo-bt-plugin, try connecting to the GPS receiver with it, then enter "/dev/rfcomm0" as the Receiver MAC in Maemo Mapper's settings. Does it remain fixed at "Establishing GPS Fix"?

Also, is the "progress bar" next to the "Establishing GPS Fix" text filled at all, or is it empty?

Sorry, all I can append is -

Yesterday I upgraded to SU-18_2006SE_2.2006.39-14_PR_F5_MR0_ARM.bin and I use the modded Maemo Mapper 1.1 that has the twin Maps loading capability ( Topology or Streets) and this works fine with my Rikaline Bluetooth GPS

I loaded the Mapper 1.2 also and got it working, but decided to unistall it as I currently have a need to toggle between Topogy and Street maps.
