When module is inserted into kernel you can mount filesystem in commandline mount -t cifs //x.x.x.x/share /localdir -o domain=x,user=x,password=x x.x.x.x is IP address, share is share name, localdir is existing directory on n770. Works for me just fine with share on XP machine. Frantisek ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

[maemo-users] Re: how to determine track's length from GPX-file
from: http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/LatLong.html -- Since the earth is not quite a sphere, there are small errors in using spherical geometry; the earth is actually roughly ellipsoidal (or more precisely, oblate spheroidal) with a radius varying between about 6,378km (equatorial) and 6,357km (polar), and local radius of curvature varying from 6,336km (equatorial meridian) to 6,399km (polar). This means that errors from assuming spherical geometry might be up to 0.55% crossing the equator, though generally below 0.3%, depending on latitude and direction of travel. An accuracy of better than 3m in 1km is good enough for me, but if you want greater accuracy, you could refine the result by using the local radius of curvature, as explained in the US Census Bureau GIS FAQ. -- Alternatively, you could use the Vincenty formulation: http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/LatLongVincenty.html Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2006 20:51:34 +0100 From: Armin M.

If you are near the equator where the used circumference is correct the error should be pretty small. The more north/south you go the higher the error. I think a good start for comparison could be the following page: http://williams.best.vwh.net/gccalc.htm There you can enter two points using WGS84 coordinates and calculate the distance between them. Take the same two points for this page and the ruby script and you should get a good error approximation. Oh, and let us know about the result ;) regards, Armin.

Re: [maemo-users] Metal case for Nokia 770
Does it interface with the 770 the same way where when you slide the cover over the lcd (in this case, close the lid) the 770 will go into a low power state?
