Re: Tangogps pre-cache?
Does someone know how to use .osm files with tangoGPS ?

Check out the Navit page on the wiki for instructions. Navit doesn't use osm files directly but it converts them to it's own binary vector format. TangoGPS uses the prerenderd png files from the osm website and i don't know if it is possible to pre-cache them except for doing it within tangoGPS itself. The Problem with the png files is that they are downloaded for every zoom level because they can't be resized like the vector format. :/ The pro of the png format is that it can display any kind of map data (sattelite, topo, etc) while the vector format can't. But the vector format is much smaller and can be zoomed to any level. It would be nice if tangoGPS could use vector format for osm and png format for the other repositories. But i think this would need too much rework of the rendering engine. ;) Ciao, Rainer ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Because lots of countries seem ready to be downloaded here : http://download.geofabrik.de/osm/ you can't use the .osm file with tango they are text files, that need to be processed by a renderer. there are several of these used by osm, including osmarender, mapnik and kosmos. it is possible to download the .osm, install the renderer and generate your own tiles, but last i looked it wasn't for the faint-hearted. check out svn in the openstreetmap wiki for more info; at least the first two listed above are GPL If it's not possible I think I will use osmtiles ;) http://www.millions.ca/~stacy/osmtiles.tgz this will certainly be the easiest and quickest, although you get what the renderer maintainer decides is important in the tiles ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
