Hi,

Could some help me with this application?

I have downloaded and installed this application today; When i open this application the satellite icon on top of the blinks always and i am mot seeing the GPS is not activating at all;

Could someone tell me how to use this application and what could be the issue?

Regards,

RR

You probably need to enable the GPS as Maep will use it automatically. Also, you need to be connected to the Internet to get the GPS going--this is a bug in Maemo.

Tap the toolbar at top, where it show the time. Then tap "Location" (I think that's it in English--"Ubicación" in Spanish). Then check the button to activate the GPS.

Have fun, I really like Maep.

A blinking icon means that your gps has no fix (it tries to find out where you are but doesn't have a clue yet). As long as you don't have a fix/valid position received maep cannot process any gps position. Hence the gps icon in maep is still inactive.

Thanks. I have data plan on my phone. The GPS got a fix now.

Now the the app also works. But how do i use that? Except one + symbol , - symbol and one satellite symbol. I don't see anything much on this app.

I just want to know how do we check any route or traffic?

Maep is a very basic application that just pretty much allows you to look at the map and zoom in and out. I like it like this.

If you want things like routes/paths/etc check out maemo-mapper. It is in extras-devel or extras-testing. It's not so stable.

Thanks for the information

How does this app actually work?
It only shows a blank map for me, even if I try to switch the mode from the menu on the right. GPS and internet are both on, I don't get it :P.

I have the same problem as Jonkki when I am on my 3G connection, maps will not load. When I am on wifi the maps load and show fine. Is this a bug or some settings thing?

Maep doesn't make any difference between the network connections. I have no idea why the maps aren't loading for you under 3G. Are you sure you can access the tile repositories?

E.g. such a tile is this:
http://tah.openstreetmap.org/Tiles/tile/3/4/2.png

Can you load this from your phone with the browser?

I also can't load the maps when using 3G, works fine with wifi. Loading the tile in the browser works and all other apps can use the internet just fine.
