Roadmap does not (yet) do onboard routing. It will import gpx files and you can use gnuite's CGI here to get directions. Then simply save the results and open the saved file as a trip in Roadmap. (Roadmap doesn't care about file extensions, so if the browser saves the directions as html, it's fine...)

hope this helps,

KP:

Since you handle vector maps I wonder if you have looked at mapping nautical vector charts.

NOAA publish free vector charts for US waters: "NOAA ENCŪs are in the International Hydrographic Office (IHO) S-57 international exchange format."

Most countries now publish similar vector charts, sadly most of them are only available commercially.

See: http://www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/mcd/enc/index.htm

FWIW. I don't know of any Linux-based chart viewer, so such a thing would be a welcome addition. If I am wrong about this then I would be happy to stand corrected.

S-57 isn't supported by Roadmap. But if someone out there has Arcview and wants to convert to shapefiles, a new class file is all that would be required to compile/display nautical maps...

[edit] It looks like there may be open source software to convert S-57 to shapefiles(openev). I'm downloading the charts now. If I can get this to work who wants to host them? [/edit]

hello kernelpanic:

Thanks for the application port!...

I'm using the tigermaps 1.1.0+ in mmc2 (8GB SDHC). When I go to a dense populated area with many streets (moving the map with the stylus) the program quits!... I'm using the 1:1 (normal size) zoom in a N800 with bluetooth GPS configured with its MAC address.

Questions-
Can you run it from xterm and see if it spits out an error?

Does bluetooth GPS work on the n800 with Roadmap? I put the code in and crossed my fingers... I don't have an n800, so I'm relying on external feedback to support n800 users.

Thanks,

As you have noticed, the files are big and there are a lot of them. Furthermore, they updated frequently with "Notices to Mariners".

Rather than hosting converted files, maybe it would be better to package up the converter so that folks could dl the NOAA originals and do their own conversions?

That would be the plan-
The main Roadmap branch at sourceforge.net includes the buildmap binaries. But they are command line tools. Pre-compiled maps would be provided for convenience, but users can still download the raw data and compile their own maps.

I did some test converting to shapefile format and some of the data is lost. So direct conversion from S-57 to rdm would be best. I'll have to look into the format some more.

Making this work would take-
1. getting the data into Roadmap format,
2. Adding icons and rendering rules for nautical features.
3. Adding 'Nautical' to the unit schemes beside 'Imperial' and 'Metric'

It would be cool though...

cheers,
kernelpanic

At least my Holux M1200 doesn't automatically connect. I had to fire up maemo-mapper first to get it to start, then getmaps could determine my location (which is the same as maemo-mapper reports, so that's a 'good thing' ).

I've created a roadmaps folder on my internal card, pointed getmaps to it, found the gps poistion & his 'Get OSM Maps', but it just sits at the following (is there a way I could've copied the status window output instead of doing the screenshots?). Things I've noticed is that there's nothing being saved in the roadmaps folder yet & that the command line shown by ps only shows the command up to the '~adam/', nothing more. Is that a limitation of the busybox ps or is that really all that's beging run? TX

grog- OSM maps default to the external card. If you wish to use the internal card, you'll need to point the file chooser in getmaps to it...

hope this helps,
