Re: Looking for gps logger for n810
Hi, Pretty much any of the nav apps for the tablets can save track logs, including Maemo Mapper, RoadMap and NavIt, plus some of the more specialized tools like OSM2Go. just for clarification: In Navit it must be enabled by editing the config file navit.xml, osm2go does tracklogging, but track export is not implemented yet.

Re: Looking for gps logger for n810
Thank you. I gave maemo mapper a try and it does allow me to save the track. I think this will do what I want. I just want to be able to see where I have been and since I can also open the old track file each time I use it and add to it this should work for me. Another question. I can't seem to add POI's In maemo mapper. Is there another tool that can create a POI from within mapper.

The notable exception is the built-in WayFinder Maps app - it's stable, but otherwise pretty much worthless. Mark Thank you. I have given maemo mapper a try. I can share your frustration with the builtin map program. It seems to just be an attempt to generate revenue, to bad I hope in any newer pieces of hardware they don't take the same route. tim ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Hi, This is outdated info, maemo-mapper has been able to start the gps bits for several months now. ah, cool. Didn't notice that. How do I need to set the preferences so it automatically starts the internal GPS subsystem via gpsbt?

Re: Looking for gps logger for n810
Hi, Another question. I can't seem to add POI's In maemo mapper. Is there another tool that can create a POI from within mapper. at least there's track = add marker. But the feature seems to be broken anyway: https://garage.maemo.org/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=2602group_id=29atid=185 I do not know of any other application that can record waypoints (and I'm currently playing with some pymaemo code as I'm looking for such a feature as well :).

HTH best regards, ce Ok, I'll just have to keep track manually. thanks again tim Waypoints and track points are not the same thing. Maemo Mapper keeps automatic track logs just fine. Waypoints/POIs can be entered by just tap-holding and in the resulting menu click on Tap Point-Add POI... You can then change/adjust the coordinates if needed or even enter coordinates somewhere else completely. That's an easy way to enter custom POIs for any location you choose. RoadMap works similarly. If you're talking about downloading general POIs for an area, Maemo Mapper does a pretty good job of that as well. First select the types you want in main menu-POI-Categories... Then go to main menu-POI-Download... You can also import POIs from files. If you really mean that you want to record tracks as waypoints rather than track points, that's another story. I don't know of any application at all, even for PC, that will do that. It shouldn't be difficult to convert them, though, especially if you are importing the track logs into some other software.
