espeak is already listed as a depend in modrana, once you've installed modrana, you have voice nav setup.
Try it, it should just work, for ASCII streetnames at least for now...

Related to this, a way to *easily* chose start and end points (either for routes or POI) from your Contacts list addresses would be awesome. Something simpler than typing the address in by hand, which again necessitates pulling the car over when it may not be safe/convenient. I'm borrowing this from Android's Google Nav, which is the service I've been using. It doesn't seem like all that big a deal until you start to use it and it seeps into your GPS-expectation-subconscious.
Maybe, just add Category "Contacts" to POI and refresh the list each time it is opened?

I'm afraid it's like that by design - every time you touch the screen, the setting reverts to 'off'. I initially found it irritating too - and I'd still prefer it 'on' at all times by default when navigation is active, with the existing button able to toggle manually with any change persistant - however, you do get used to the crrent operation fairly quickly. I Just got used to the extra tap to turn it back on after any menu interaction.

The widget is present in all modes: train, car, bus, bicycle, walk.

Somewhen it will be fixed.

- Moon phase (info screen or search)
- Tides (info screen or search)
- Weather (info screen or search)
- Distance (point to point)

- go to->coordinates->enter coordinates
- go to->POI->select poi
+ clickable "go to" widget.

It would be nice to have a prominent icon displayed on screen and/or an espeak prompt warning of any speed cam's on the upcoming stretch of road. Would take modRana one step closer to emulating a dedicated in-car navigation system. Thoughts?
Code:
* activate from POI -> tools menu
* set:
* distance
* espeak message (recorded sound ?)
* repetition -> once/twice/every N seconds while in perimeter
* optional -> a message for leaving the perimeter
* optinal -> say the current distance as part of the message
* multiple distance/message pairs for a POI
* possible uses:
* speed cameras
* fishing spots
* reminders ("you are near the supermarket, don't forget to buy X")
* geocaching/treasure hunting
The GUI mockup looks good!
BTW, is there some marine related reason for all the white color ?

This is great, however please note that the language of streetnames can vary from the directions language. You're probably aware of it, but for instance in the Moscow case, I'd not want the instructions in Russian, and might prefer them in English, but the streetnames are in Russian, so should be pronounced in Russian...
), the driving directions that are provided by Google are just html formated strings and the street names are not delimited in any (parsable) way. But it might be possible to do the future, with some other routing service that provides more granular directions, preferably with street names that have language codes

Check out the Device State section of the wiki and osso_test_device_blank_pause.py for a way to keep the screen on.

A question in another thread brought the fact that the n900 really has no hiking GPS app ala a garmin or some such handheld.
PS Apparently Advanced Geocaching Tool has direction and distance.
- big fullscreen arrow and distance (like in AGTL)
- a widget version with small arrow and distance, placeable on the map screen (I really have to finally rewamp the widgets to a usable state
) - an arrow pointing from the current position indicator (TangoGPS does it like this)
- just drawing a long line from current position to a given point
- or maybe drawing your own route on the map (might be also useful to send to others) ?

Cool thanks. I like the Mappero approach which controls screen blank via a number of states and conditions. eg unblank screen if:
Full screen and moving
Moving
Receiving GPS data
never
Always
cheers

They didn't appear to coexist well - both apps remained running but modRana wasn't redrawing the map with current location. I didn't have time to check closely but I suspect RR possibly wasn't updating GPS co-ord's correctly either.
I had assumed that multiple app's would be able to concurrently access the GPS without interfering - apparently not, unless I did something wrong during the test.
What was the position indicator in modRana doing ? Stuck in place or rotating or something else ?

For start, some samples of the actual SMS Google is sending would suffice + a check if they all come from some special number
But once I have something that might work, a US based tester would be needed

I have scripts for pulling the Cloudmade stuff already for postgres. I'm sure I can adapt it.
