Hi Thanks a lot for this new version. I would like to know if you could create a new page in opkg.org for easily follow, install and upgrade it !

It provides tools to > mutualize data, create and access this map. > The purpose of this software is to log GSM data, together with > GPS coordinate. This data are sent to the website (www.openbmap.org), > in order to build a free database. In order to keep a high quality > of data, we store GPS quality, speed, GSM signal strength, etc... > Possible use of this database: > * get your location based on the current GSM cell you are connected to. > (GPS needs extra power to function, GSM is always on. Less precise > than GPS, but enough for a lot of usages. Instant location, GPS > needs time to get a fix.) > * speed up GPS first time to fix by providing the location based > on GSM data > * geolocate your photos when taken > * get a map of GSM coverage > * get a map of 2, 2.5, 3G coverage (not yet implemented) > * ... > > What you should expect: > * The complete process is done through graphical interface. > * Requests CPU ressource to prevent phone from going to suspend (this > depends on the configuration of the phone...). > * generation of logs (no log during a call) > * Graphical window to enter login/password before upload (possibility > to cancel upload). > * upload of logs > * Graphical window proposing to delete all logs already processed. > > MANUAL: > Interface is straightforward. > > Note: The GPS is started as soon as the application is launched. > And it keeps running if the application is logging or not. This > is to prevent losing the GPS position if you pause your logging. > You have to exit the application in order to stop the GPS. > > * A button to start generating logs. Values will be displayed when > valid. Logs are stored under HOME/.openBmap/Logs by default. > > * A button to stop generating logs. > > * A button to upload. > This pops a window up, which displays the current login/password. > Please modify it before pressing 'ok' button if needed. You can > cancel upload by pressing 'cancel'. > > If you press 'ok', this will block the interface until every log > has been uploaded. This means that if you do not have Internet > connection up and running, the GUI will be frozen until timeout of > the upload part. > > After successful upload, the logs are moved to > HOME/.openBmap/Processed_logs by default. > > When upload is finished, the result is first displayed (how many logs > have been uploaded out of how many available). > Then a popup window will propose you to delete all (this includes > possible logs from previous upload) the processed logs (located in > HOME/.openBmap/Processed_logs by default). > > Warning: you should create an account on realtimeblog.free.fr > website, and fill a correct login/password in the popup window > displayed before upload works. > > * A button to exit (if logger is active, it will first stop it > cleanly, and then exit). > > Config file and application log are located under HOME/.openBmap > directory by default. > > You can modify values in the config files (by editing it). This > way you can have a fine grained control of your logger: > - change the locations of logs > 'openbmap logs directory name', 'openbmap uploaded logs directory name' > - change the rate of logging > openbmap logger default scanning speed (in sec.) = 10 > - set a minimal speed for logging > gps minimal speed for logging (km/h) = 0 > - set a maximal speed for logging > gps maximal speed for logging (km/h) = 150 > - please do not modify other values, this could prevent the > logger from working correctly. > > If you break your configuration file, just exit the application. > Delete the configuration file (by default: HOME/.openBmap/openBmap.conf). > Launch the application. The configuration file, if not found is > generated with default values. > > KNOWN BUGS: > * when you are generating logs, and you press 'Stop' button. > A popup window let you know you should wait for the logger to > finish stopping. Under FSO M5, if you press the power > button, the phone suspends. You press it again it wakes up. > Nevertheless the GUI is frozen. You will have to kill the > process. > > > _______________________________________________ > Openmoko community mailing list > community@lists.openmoko.org > http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community >
