hey, i think i just found a bug with the latest upgrade... whenever i want to change the city, it allows me to select a city but it doesn't exit that menu anymore (i'm in moscow map, using a zoom of 80%, i don't know if that's got anything to do with the bug)...

...no, zoom was not an issue, i tried again at default 100%, and again it stayed in the menu without being able to get out... i had to reboot both times... nothing else works...

Just wait 10-20 seconds - menu is still shown while map starts to load. I don't know yet how to fix it, but it is somewhere on top of my next release tasks.

Also it looks like I've broke zoom - some maps are not zoomed correctly now - in that case just restart the app and you'll get new zoom.

In theory, you can simply download these and install them yourself from the URL in the 1st post. The "about" page in the app instructs you to place downloaded maps in /opt/metromap/data. Not sure if Madrid etc. currently exist on http://metromap.antex.ru - as it's all in Russian (can't see an English version) and so it's hard for non-russian speakers to work out how to locate maps of interest :-( I guess you speak some Russian - can you advise if there is an english language option on that website ?

Moving on, I just installed this and a few points:

1) I changed from Moscow to London. The change took a very long time (seemed like several minutes ... at least long enough for the screen lock to kick in a couple of times) while "London" was highlighted as my choice but the option list didn't dissapear (and if I tried to click on the blurred background it would flip back to Moscow).

2) I eventually left it in peace and it did load up London - but the title bar still says Moscow

3) I think I may be very dumb, but having entered a random to/from journey, the app has put a dotted red line around both stations on the map, but I can't se any option to calculate a route (and there is nothing like the screenshot where an estimated journey time is shown). What am I missing?


EDIT - removed pointless feedback which related to an older version of the app

@pine: great new release. i hope i can get my favorite maps
running with it.

metromap crashs when changing the default map in
~/.metromap/rc, for instance Bonn-Koln or Dusseldorf do not work.
are those maps from pmetro.su just broken or is it a bug?

changing the zoom level requires a restart of the app.

i didn't see a link to english, but i do know a bit of russian so i managed to get them... thx... and i've got a tip for you: when you hover over the maps with your cursor, the links shown down in the status bar of your browser give you the name of the city in english... ;-)

You're welcome

Spent about 3 days on trying to do so, but still no success. There is a special C library to do that, but my experiments on binding C code to Python are not successful yet. Anyway, I keep trying

Zoom is quite slow now, so you'll have to wait for about 10 seconds for each zoomlevel. Another way is to pre-generate map caches and ship it in the package.

Anyway, thanks for your ideas!

What do you mean exactly by resume? I don't think that I get the idea.

I'll check it. That's what I've wanted to get form the community - obviously I cannot try all 100+ maps myself BTW, why are changing rc file directly? You can change default map from app menu.

Yep, just figured that out. Looks like I've broke that in 0.1.3 release. Will try to fix it in 1-2 days.

I've seen this issue also but I can't reproduce it right now. I couldn't get out of the map selection screen.
