[OSM-talk] i-gotU GPS logger and Linux: bad news
Howdy Niccolo,
I am currently working on the i-gotU logger and getting it to work
without the Windows Desktop application. I also asked Mobile Action in
January for help but got no response to date.
I have attached my test python code to date. Currently, I am able to
interact with the device and have confirmed with PortMon that the
communication from my code matches that of the Desktop application. I
have only tested the software in Windows XP with the win32 and serial
addons. No idea as to Linux, yet. I am currently looking at the raw
data from the device but have yet to figure out its structure.
I doubt the desktop program will work easily in Linux w/ Wine as the
program uses a MS Access database to store all settings and gps data.
This database is typically found in the Window user's Application Data
directory...
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application
Data\MobileAction\GPSTracer\Tracer.mdb
The database uses the password 'mytracer' (without the quotes).
I am looking for help in decoding the raw data as I don't have much time
available.
If you are looking to use NMEA or SiRF's binary protocol, don't bother.
Though the device may use a SiRFStar III chipset, it will not talk in
the same manner as other SiRF devices. I spent over a week trying to
see what would make the device respond in an identical manner to their
software before realizing that the communication is time dependent.

Re: [OSM-talk] Osmosis error while trying to import planet file into Mysql
Thanks a lot! Starting Osmosis using the shell script in the osmosis/bin directory did the trick. The database driver is not on your classpath. You could (should?) use the shell script in the osmosis/bin directory, or copy the classpath arguments from it (specifically the mysql-connector-java bit).

Re: [OSM-talk] Street mapping novice needs some help
Hi Andy, thanks for the reply and thanks for the links. To give more detail, I am an artist and I'm wanting to map points of African-Caribbean culture initially in my city. I want to do this by using key drawings that I am creating instead of the icons already featured e.g. arrows and dots. Does this make it clearer?

Hi.. I would like to have a couple of vest if possible. I will be in Israel in 2 weeks and if the vests are now availlable i will take it with me. If some israeli people would one i can give 'em one.

It is, as Andy says, a bit of fun. Nothing more, nothing less. If you don't like it you can happily ignore it. Though, of course, you then won't be able to map skyhooks. cheers Richard ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk

If people just posted their cool tag usage, rather than the lengthy discussions on the anal aspects of a tag, we'd get a lot more stuff with useful data attached to it in the database. I don't want that to detract from the great job of documenting and discussing tags in general but this process of making maps is supposed to be a lot of fun, not a chore :-) Cheers Andy >However, is was a great job in that regard - thanks a lot :-/ > >Regards, ULFL > >___ >talk mailing list >talk@openstreetmap.org >http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
