If it still does not work, you should try to run in an xterm

rm /home/user/.freemap-il/maps/*

And then try to synchronize map.

thanks. that did the trick.

i suspect that at first when i didnt have the map data i moved away from israel inro the see. so later when i tried all the update options in both the file and the find menus it still appeared as if i didnt have map data.

later for some reason the application started getting segmentation fault a few seconds after i launched it comsistently. a problem that wasnt resolved with a reinstallation, but got resolved as soon as i removed the contents of the maps folder.

Hello,

I just got my N900 a few days ago, (had n95 before), and I love it.
But I am really missing waze, I am honestly considering using the n95 till waze comes to maemo, or meego...

For now I have tried installing freemap-il, it's running, gets a fix in 10 seconds on my house (from inside the house), but I just can't figure out how to enter a destenation address to navigate to it, I don't even care about voice, just directions.

Any ideas?

hi matan,

i assume this is gpl ? am i right ?

if so, where is the source code (including the changes you made to it) ?


thanks,
erez.

yes its GPL.

His code can be found here: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d.../f/freemap-il/

and the latest code from Waze can be found here.
http://www.waze.com/wiki/index.php/Source_code

btw, in case we port the latest waze, i assume we need to create new graphics and resources since the ones they use are proprietary.
am i right?

Hi,
sorry for the late response, i assumed someone with more experience with this program will answer, since i'm also not entirely sure how to used it.

anyway, what i found is:
look for an address in the find menu.
set it as destination in the trip menu. (or via long click on a point).
then in the trip menu, select ניווט.

i think that's how i did it last time.
but now, when i tried to re-create, it didn't work. so i updated my map. restarted the program. and now i get some prints in the terminal and the program starts with a different ui.

the prints are a call-stack:
roadmap_config.c line 649, found no 'schema' config file, check roadMap installation.
roadmap_locator.c line 153 saying it can't open directory database (usedir)

i'll try reinstalling it later.

Hi,

I can't seem to get a GPS location. When I open both maps app and the freemap-il the GPS satelite icon just blinks and is in a "searching" status. This happens both inside and outside the house.

Also, I can't seem to find a way to download the Israeli maps for the freemap-il. I've tried the "rm /home/user/..." but the xterm is saying "cant remove since there is no file or folder that name". Download map from the find menu just does nothing.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Sagi

anyone can help with my problem, Matan maybe?

Sagi try to download it from the File>סנכרן

See below my post regardng adding Israel maps to Sygic Mobile for Maemo!
