Re: Newer Navit [was: geocaching with tangoGPS on FR]
I have compiled it from svn... nice but: - as Dan i can't see naything about maps... i configured the xml file to open a bin file from osm but navit says Failed to load 'path/myfile.bin' - i can't use gps data even if navit says Connected to gpsd fd=4 ...etc etc any hints? thanks d On Mon, Dec 15, 2008 at 4:33 PM, KaZeR ka...@altern.org wrote: -Message d'origine- De : Dan Staley [mailto:dlst...@uky.edu] Envoyé : lundi 15 décembre 2008 16:05 À : KaZeR Cc : openmoko community Objet : Re: Newer Navit [was: geocaching with tangoGPS on FR] I downloaded the tar and it definitely looks ALOT nicer and feels more stable than the version I tried out before!

Hi Treviño, and thanks for your feedback Marco Trevisan (Treviño) a écrit : 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) In fact it does (since rev 1569), but it's not enabled by default. Try adding drag_bitmap=1 to the navit tag (like recent_dest). I agree that it should get more advertising, because it's a very useful patch (thanks again Florian for that). It's not enabled by default because it's not yet supported by every graphics drivers (e.g. : on wince). I'll add a comment in the xml file for that, and we'll probably enable it by default on the opkg build. and it doesn't include a wrapper script with: echo 1 /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory Yes, indeed. i ran into the same issue, and without it you can't load streets files.

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.
