Ooops, sorry, didn't remember to look there. Thanks !

I'm going on a trip next week, and I want to have as many POIs for the place I'm going (Kaua'i) as possible. I have a bunch of addresses for bank branches for my bank, grocery stores, kmart, costco, as well as campsites, etc. So I needed a quick way to generate POIs directly from street addresses. I created this patch against 1.4.4:
http://www2.hawaii.edu/~mandrew/maem...-against-1.4.4

It's basically just a copy of the download route function but makes the origin and destination the same and downloads the "route" to a temporary route (so as not to disturb the actual route), extracts the first non-zero lat/long and loads the poi_dialog so the user can name it, assign a poi category to it and create a description (which is pre-filled-in with the address).

It compiles and works fine on the old version of scratchbox I have installed, but I can't get an arm version to compile. I installed the newest scratchbox (1.0.7) and the i386 version compiles fine, but when I switch to the arm target, it complains about XML::Parser not being found (which IS installed).

here's what happens when I run ./configure:

anybody have any hints? I've only ever used scratchbox for maemo mapper and I've never tried to compile it for an arm target before this.

I finally did get it to compile for 770 with the old scratchbox. Here's the deb of maemo-mapper 1.4.4 (unmodified) for os2006 2.2006.39-14:
maemo-mapper_1.4.4-1_armel.deb

and here's the deb of my modified version (also for os2006 2.2006.39-14):
maemo-mapper_1.4.4-1-mza_armel.deb

Both work fine on my 770.

Here's a screenshot:


enjoy!

Is anyone else having Mapper install issues with the new firmware? I did the install, it claims to have installed correctly, but it just doesn't run. Argh. Any help would be appreciated.

Mapped works good on my freshly flashed N800, but not with 100% original repos. Have you tried "maemo-mapper" command from within the console? This should give a hint. Maybe there are some libraries missing, which dependencies were not resolved?

Says "Segmentation fault".... not sure what that would mean.... bummer.

Hmpf, could be related to many things
AFAIK some problems with the RAM...

EDIT: NULL-Pointers, bad memory allocation/rellocation for the the process, getting memory space without rights to write to it... and and and... bäh, the www is full of segfault error-messages

EDIT2: Did you have swap enabled? How's your memory "consumption" Normally the system handles that stuff automatically, perhaps something went wrong. Did you restart your N800?

I wanted to put the scale on the lower right of my display (this precludes the ability to display other things there), so in maemo-mapper.c, I changed this line:
to this:
and voila.

I had to do a backup/restore on my 800...now mapper displays an error that it can't open the POI database and the POI option is grayed out when holding down on a point on the map..any ideas? Seems to work in all other respects

Can anyone please HELP!

I am running OS 2006 (Scirocco, not Gregale) and Maemo Mapper v1.35 on my n770. I have a Holux 240 GPS. Everything has been working splendidly until today when I was riding down I-95 in Florida following a route I had downloaded using my bluetooth cellphone. MaemoMapper suddenly shut itself down. When I tried to re-open it, it would start to load, then the "loading" dialog box disappeared without loading MM. When I tried to load it again, it loaded, then shut down suddenly again while trying to download the route again. This occured two or three times. Ultimately, I was unable to ever get MM to load again. What is worse, other apps fail to load now too. The n770 locks up and then either reboots itself or I have to put the cover on it to get it to shut down as the hard button won't cause it to shut down. Application manager won't load, and causes a reboot. Also, File Manager and Web browsing won't load and cause a reboot. I am really unhappy as my tablet is now pretty much useless! What to do??

thanks,
Neil
