POI Bug found: When I rotate the map clockwise, the POI will disappear after three clicks (press arrow key to rotate three times). So I lose visibility of POIs. Will test driving to work today with auto-rotate to see if problem still occurs.

UPDATE: The auto-rotate reproduce the same bug once the map rotated enough times (3 clicks from north to northeast) before the POI would disappear from the map. To add, I noticed when manually rotating the map if I start with it pointing North in its default setting and rotate counter-clockwise, it disappears immediately while rotating it from North position and clockwise it would not disappear until about 3 clicks towards Northeast.

I see exactly the same from GPS locations taken from a Garmin handheld and entered manually - both in Google Earth and in Maemo-mapper. That's why I am convinced it is a mislocation in Google's data.

But I will also try a downloaded route, later today.

That track was recorded in northern Trinidad, 10.6N 61.3W.

I frequently use geographic data and handheld GPSs in my job. I know from experience that Google Earth and Maps can have errors like this.

===============================================

This thread is almost as useful as maemo-mapper itself.

Maybe we can turn it into an FAQ.

I've never created a route before. Any suggestions how to go about it.

I want to make a route for the same bit of map I showed before. Google Maps said it couldn't calculate a route for me. I also tried a web-site called digipoint (http://www.zonums.com/gmaps/digipoint.html), but that only gave me waypoints. I created waypoints at various road intersections - you can see how well these plot in Google Earth below.

Digipoint uses Google Maps, so it's not really surprising that they agree.

I am getting lots of repeated updates of the route (as if I'm off track), even when I am still on track.

Anyone else experiencing this?
Which version are you using? If it's 2.0.1 or 2.0.2, then this bug was fixed in 2.0.3. If it's 2.0.3, then I must have missed something....

I think I know why this happens. I'll fix it in 2.0.4. Thanks for the bug report.

This may be a very newbie question. I can download the poi, and I can view them in a list. However, how comes they don't appear on the map?

There's an option in View->Show to enable/disable POI view.

I understand that this is not a maemomapper fault, but if it's used with kagu, would it be possible to pause reproduction or lower music volume when voice announcements are made?

I solved the problem by restarting the system.

Just another note of thanks for maemo-mapper. I used 1.x on a 3000+ mile car trip over about 3 weeks this summer, and it was flawless. 2.0 is looking even better, although personally I'm not sure I like rotation - that's rotation in general, not your implementation. I learned to read a map long ago, the right way!

Kudos for a truly outstanding piece of software and the support for it.
