Thank you.

Thanks !

I also finally got to integrating your improvements, they will be part of the next release.

any ideas?

Or if I just want to use the same offline maps in N900 with some application.

Really depends on the storage format, if its just a bunch of tile images with the standard scheme used by Google Maps and OpenStreetMap, they can be used right away. If it is stored in some kind of (encrypted ?) database, that would be a bit trickier. Can you check out the file format on your device ?

What does CSSU1T mean ? Is that CSSU Testing or Thumb ? For the record, I'm running on CSSU stable with Extras-Devel enabled.

I have this on both N900's I own. Reinstall or deletion of options.bin doesn't fix it. Would be happy to provide further data.

There should be some errors in standard output. So just start modRana from the terminal:

Code:

modrana

And post the output.

I have a question which may have been addressed previously but I cannot find it....
In my installed apps, I have modRana QML which only opens a completely blank white screen with absolutely nothing on it. I have to end task to shut it down. Can anyone guide me with a solution to have it open correctly?
modRana itself is working perfectly......

ModRana QML is the new alternative GUI for modRana, based on Qt & QML. It is quite basic at the moment, but not really that basic (it does show a lot more than just a white screen

).

Do you have CSSU installed ? The QML GUI basically requires it to work correctly, as the Qt & PySide versions on stock PR 1.3 Fremantle are too old & buggy for it to work correctly.

Also, please try to start modRana QML from the terminal:

Code:

modrana-qml

And post the output. Thanks !

CSSU 21.2011.38-1Tmaemo4 and CSSU 21.2011.38-1Tmaemo2.1
@MartinK - I've got extrasdevel enabled too, no other problems except for a missing "reject" button of the calling app (what I think isn't of influence). If you'd like me to flash and make an exclusive install of any of the cssu testing versions or any other reproduction pls let me know, it may take a while but I'd do my best. Issue: minimal number of trackpoints while tracklogging (2, 3 or 4 points).

@all - Could ya folks post experiences of tracklogging if in CSSU Testing setup?

What can be so wrong/ different (f.i. from standard configuration of N900) ? Any do's & don'ts in these basics I'm completely ignoring?

Hi Martin, I did try to run from the terminal but still the completely white blank screen.(I was going to post the output from X-terminal but don't know how to save it as I only have FreOffice & it would not save the file? Which APP could I use to save the output?)
I then installed 'CSSU Features' but when started it shows "The Community SSU is not installed. Some features might not work correctly." Then a message "ERROR: Reading the configurations settings gave a FATAL ERROR while reading the gconf values. Not all settings are available. Exiting....."
Starting modRana QML still gives the completely white blank screen.
At one point the phone completely froze so I am a little concerned. Perhaps I should just live without QML and just continue to use modRana which works A-OK

Many thanks for your input

Oh you meant creating tracklogs in modRana, not just displaying them.

I remembered that there were some graphical glitches when I last tested track logging. I checked it out again and it seems to be actually quite broken:
#194

Code:

 * logging trace is not shown on map until a color is selected
 * if a tracklog detail has been visited, the logging menu "tools" goes to tracklog detail "tools"
 * logging intervals seem to be ignored
 * tracklogs that are created seem to be corrupted or in wrong format

I'll try to do something about it.

What can be so wrong/ different (f.i. from standard configuration of N900) ? Any do's & don'ts in these basics I'm completely ignoring?

Thats weird - this:

Code:

from __future__ import with_statement # for python 2.5

should be on the first line in /opt/modrana/modules/mod_location/gps_daemon.py. Maybe try to add it manually to see if it helps ?

It is actually rather weird that it works for anybody considering that line is missing.

I'll try to push a hot-fix ASAP, just in case.

EDIT:
Hotfix submitted, no need to manually edit anything, just update to V0.35.5 and try if GPS works.

Perhaps this will help....

This looks like outdated Qt version.
( the PinchArea is available in QML since Qt 4.7.4). Do you have CSSU installed ? From the log it looks like you are just running PR 1.3, which has only Qt 4.7.0.

Basically -> no, CSSU == no modRana QML (but you can still use modRana with the classic GUI just fine

)

Confirm V0.32.5 has it there (line 19).

Hotfix submitted, no need to manually edit anything, just update to V0.35.5 and try if GPS works.

This has seemingly no effect. Version 0.32.5 git:0164ac5 doesn't launch GPS either. See code

Cool, I'll be happy to wait for this fix. Tracklogging in my eyes is a top row feature of modRana

Oh, now I see it:

Code:

modRana: module: device_n900/device failed to load 
Traceback (most recent call last): 
File "modrana.py", line 293, in _loadModule 
a = __import__(importName) 
File "/opt/modrana/modules/device_modules/device_n900.py", line 31, in <module> 
import hildon 
ImportError: No module named hildon 
modRana: no device module name providedloading the Neo device module as fail-safe

I checked the modRana package dependencies and indeed - the python-hildon package is missing.

Your re-flash is probably what exposed this bug, as other users have probably already installed something, that has python-hildon as a dependency, so it works for them.

I've added the missing dependency in V0.31.6 - so please test.

Yep, fixing it is a high-priority task for me.

@beermad

Using your perl script I am getting the following error -

DBD::SQLite::st execute failed: datatype mismatch: bind 5 type 1 as png at mapconvert line 80.

Any workaround ?

Originally Posted by beermad

OK, I've got a working Perl script to import map tiles into the database.

At the moment, it won't run on the N900 itself, as I'm having a few problems getting the SQLite module to build on my scratchbox installation; I'll work on that over the next few days when I have spare time and see if I can get that working.

Dependencies: You'll need to install the Perl DBI and DBD-SQLite modules. These should be available from your disto's repositories (otherwise, get them from CPAN).

It took about 75 minutes to import my 200 000 tiles into the database on my dual-core Athlon machine; obviously this will vary depending on the speed of the machine it's done on. The script is interruptible - just hit Control-C and it'll shut down cleanly. Then restart at your leisure.

Getting it to work on an OS other than Linux is left as an exercise for the reader, as I'm happily Microsoft-free.

It demonstrates well the oft-mentioned clustering problem with FAT partitions; my tile files allocated 12.5G of space, whereas the store file is only 543M.

Instructions:

Download the script from http://www.beermad.org.uk/mapconvert

Either copy your ~/MyDocs/.maps directory to your Linux box or mount your MyDocs partition on it. Try to preserve the timestamps if copying (as they're recorded in the database, I assume they're used to work out if a new copy of any tile is needed if they've changed on the tile server) - for example, if using scp:
Code:
scp -pr ~/MyDocs/.maps mycomputer:/tmp
The script only works on tiles in the current working directory, so for each map-type, cd into the relevant directory:
Code:
cd /path/to/tile_directory
Then run the script (no parameters needed).

If necessary, copy the lookup.sqlite and store.sqlite.* files back to your N900.

If there are any tiles already in the database, it leaves them there and it doesn't try to over-write any if one it finds already exists (at some time I should change this so it does over-write if the tile file is newer).

If you already have tiles in a database, I recommend making a copy first, just in case anything goes wrong. I've tested the script a fair bit, but can't guarantee something won't screw up.

I've testdriven on a highway, because GPS launch was succesful

and regular.
In earlier versions I connected to hotspot (other N900), too and downloaded maps without any problems. Downloading didn't happen, fix was OK I presume (at OSM I & Virtual Earth Hybrid layers/ zooms).
