Hey.

Thanks for giving us, what Nokia was not able to.
According to Jiri's how-to, I got full voice navigation in German and (first in english, but now also german) synthesized distances.

Even the fm transmitter did keep the connection to the radio and did not turn off leading the radio to produce noise.
But:
the radio still beeps each few seconds. Is there a possibility to turn that off (just silence between navigation commands)?

Hello,

peterleinchen: have you managed to get the navigation in English working according to CormacB?

I have only done it after switching the phone language from German to English, but as soon as I tried it with German voice an error message popped out after starting the maps: "failed to load voice config.xml from german for language de-DE" (the same one I was getting in English at the beginning before switching the phone language to English), I keep getting this no matter which phone language I choose... can anybody help/any ideas? before I have to try the way "jiri" described which looks much more complicated

Hi xkkkx.

No, I somehow directly stumbled over Jiri's how-to and got it working fully for me (german phone, german language and distances).
So I did not try Cormacs way. But reading his install post, he does not support other languages due to different naming (de_de -- german) of sound files. I would try to play around with naming of sound files location folder, or somehow look directly in the downloaded html file to rename there ...

I followed that Jiri's howto. Nokia maps says "Welcome to improved Nokia maps" out loud, but program cannot run any further. The progress bar keeps on moving left-right-left even for hours if I wait.
I I close it [X], it says "bye bye".

What could be wrong?

Edit:
Got it back to work (without voice navigation) by replacing old index.html and pfw-directory from the backup.

Edit2:
The jiri's index.html work, I can hear some instruction now and the map otherwise works, but not with the pfw-directory taken from jiri's page but with some old one I installed last autumn.

Because there is no diff program available for N900 (?), I cannot easily see what are the differences.

Hi

Please help, im trying to install using Jiri's installation guide and I get I get this error. Something to do with Catblock

Any help at all for the above please?

hi
thanks to blaizzen cormac and jiri.i followed jiri's way to install.i got it installed.somehow voice guidance did not work.Now i feel to get everything back to original status.How can i do that without flashing.I read the instructions of Blaizzen but did not understand.flashing is pain.i need to set up and install lot many applications.please help me.Noobs love 1,2,3 like steps.thank you.

@udaychaitanya16:
1) root
2) cd /usr/share/nokia-maps/html
3) mv index.html index.html.jiri
4) ln -s index.html.nokia index.html

After this it may work. The problem may be, that Jiri's instructions do not tell to backup pfw-directory, so if you didn't backup it yourself, then the old one is lost.

courtneyg: or someone could up the original index.html...
oh well, here it is just unzip it and copy the file index.html to the folder /usr/share/nokia-maps/html on your n900
