First version of MapWidget released today.

https://garage.maemo.org/projects/mapwidget/

Little more info you find also: http://pekkar.blogspot.com/

MapWidget is widget that shows map. And do some other stuff.

It should be easy to develope programs that need map information by using this widget.

MapWidget based on Gnuite's Maemo Mapper.

This is first version and there might be some bugs.

err - is there a more detailed explaination? And is this chinook only

I think you would do yourself a favor if you'd post some more explanation, maybe demo code, screenshots ?

Zero details = zero downloads.

I write tomorrow more detailed story.

MapWidget source code and demo program is avalable in garage.

MapWidget works in bora and chinook.

I have installed this on my OS2008/N800 and have come to a dead end. It is shown as an Installed Application but does not show up as an app.

So I am bit unsure as to what to do next?

It's most likely a home applet, Reb.

That's what I thought too but it doesn't show up there either.

I am sure pjr will come through in a few days time, so I shall keep an eye open for his announcements

Going by the description it is a library (or rather two - a map management backend and a GUI frontend) that facilitate embedding maemo-mapper functionality into other programs - with a soon-to-come demo application.

Hi,

Like I promised, here is some more info.

MapWidget is meant to use in application that needs map. You can iclude widget in your own programs, source code is in garage. From header file you can find what you do with it.

I made also demo program for testing. It is just demo program.

How to use MapWidget_demo:

1. Download and install maptile-loader to IT. https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_...elease_id=1164

2. Download MapWidget-0.1.tar to IT and extract it.

3. If you want to see some icons, copy pictures to "/usr/share/cityguide/pictures/poi/" directory.

4. run MapWidgetExampleChinook or MapWidgetExampleBora.
(run-standalone.sh ./MapWidgetExampleChinook)

Maptile-loader starts automaticly when example program starts.

Few pics.

Start.

Map WIdget is not anykind of "real" program. Its meant to use with inside other applications.
