Re: geocaching with tangoGPS on FR
2008/12/8 Nicolas LAURANCE nlaura...@zindep.com: Hi freephone users, I wrote a little python script that will inject geocaching positions into tangoGPS, so that you can use your freephone to locate the caches you select. You'll find screenshots, instructions and download at : http://www.zindep.com/blog-zindep/geocaching_tangogps I hope it can be of some use Very useful thanks, although I still wish GroundSpeak were more open with their data... :( Anyway, I've attached a patch to make your script work with Python 2.5 (element tree moved within the standard library so needs to be imported differently).

Yes, but for France i'm using Reiseplanner maps (commercial, around 40e). I'm using these too. Btw there's a bug: it's hard to get find a location that has a space in the name (like Mont Saint Michel, for example :P). Some weeks ago I looked at the sources founding that this is not due to navit itself, but to the Reiseplanner maps that simply have an index of cities based on a kind of keywords (for the example above, there are three different keys for Mont, Saint and Michel) that then redirect to the index of the city in the map file. So maybe the mg plugin should check the words not by searching the complete string put by the user, but repeating the search for each word and then comparing the results showing only the results that matches every word written (I know, I should fill a bug :P). Using the internal gui, btw, there's another problem. There's no default country set as stated by the log: gui_internal:gui_internal_search_list_set_default_country:warning: no default country found Have you tried the internal gui? It's really well suited for small touchscreens like the FR. I've tried it. Using the old packages you made it was too little, but now it's ok, also if the action menu should be shown a little better when using the phone in landscape mode (as I generally do when navigating). Ah, using the gtk inteface, the text added in the Destination dialog should be trimmed, since the embedded keyboards (based on dictionaries) tend to add an extra space after a word. I've to say that the newer package you made is really faster when loading my maps on launch, also if it doesn't seem to include the fix posted months ago here (to redraw the map only after each drag as TangoGPS does) and it doesn't include a wrapper script with: echo 1 /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory Finally I've seen this screenshot [1] in scap, is this an EFL implementation of Navit? It seems to use the enlightenment toolkit both for the buttons and for the map rendering (better than the GPS from what I can see there). Have you some informations about this shot? :P Anyway thanks for the work done in Navit, it's really a great project!

Re: geocaching with tangoGPS on FR
This is great A long time ago I wanted to start enjoying geocaching And now with your contribution, on my FR that will be great :wistle: Specially runing on the TangoGPS which is nicest GPS app I found runing on linux I would like to know when the tangoGPS application will support rounting and use it as my car drive GPS -( Nicolas Laurance wrote: Hi freephone users, I wrote a little python script that will inject geocaching positions into tangoGPS, so that you can use your freephone to locate the caches you select.
