Re: [SPAM?] Re: Wifi vrs Bluetooth power = maemo mapper experience
I use the Nokia LD-3W which is a SiRF chipset, but there's no display and no way to select options I'm aware of... Maemo is OK for me... My main issue is retaining the GPS connection -- not to mention the cellular connection around my house as there are big dark areas without coverage. I wish Maemo was better for Point to Point Navigation, rather than you are here. The NavKit looks cool, but it's going to be $239 here in the US which is a lot considering similar applications on S60 are more like $99 - though annually. Even with a 1GB card, it seems way overpriced. On 4/13/07, Michel Brabants [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, I wasn't downloading maps automatically. I didn't have all the locations cached. Only around the area where I started I did have the roads cached. I wouldn't want to enable auto-download when I'm mapping, because it will crash maemo-mapper when I want to save the track then (I openened 2 bugs at the maemo-mapper-tracker). It sometimes indeed moves a little bit when standing still. It will depend on your gps-receiver probably. The sirf-ones have to be set in a special mode when you're walking (going slowly, ..). Else they may jump some metres or so sudenly, I thought. Normally mine (mtk-chipset), there isn't such an option and it should work well always. I want to promote it a little bit indeed :). Maemo-mapper is a nice program, but it crashes too much to my taste. I would like to adapt it or write a new program to make it (also) more suitable for openstreetmap-mapping.

were you downloading maps on the go over cellular or had you cached in advance? I find Maemo (or perhaps my GPS) seems to think I am moving at times when I am sitting still -- like at my desk.
