Hello, I wrote tangoGPS, a small but fast gps and mapping software for Openmoko/Neo.
It uses openstreetmap.org maps, downloading them on demand and caching them. You can drag the map, zoom in and out and see your current position and track if a gps signal is available. In order to run it you must have gllin and gpsd installed and running. A working way for doing so is this gllin-script: --------------------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/sh killall ld-linux.so.2 killall gpsd mknod /tmp/nmeaNP p gpsd -n /tmp/nmeaNP cd /home/root/gllin lib/ld-linux.so.2 --library-path /home/root/gllin/lib:/home/root/gllin/usr/lib \ /home/root/gllin/gllin.real -low 5 2>&1 > /dev/null lib/ld-linux.so.2 --library-path /home/root/gllin/lib:/home/root/gllin/usr/lib \ /home/root/gllin/gllin.real -periodic 1 & --------------------------------------------------------------- You can check gpsd by connecting to the port 2947 and then typing "r", which should look similar to this: --------------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ nc localhost 2947 r GPSD,R=1 $GPGGA,091823.00,4441.889619,N,00817.008749,E,1,04,3.0,066.0,M,0.313003,M,0.0190515,*49 $GPRMC,091823.00,A,4441.889619,N,00817.008749,E,000.0,150.0,040208,,,A*53 $GPGSV,3,1,11,16,75,244,24,21,50,054,21,18,43,106,34,06,29,094,21*73 $GPGSV,3,2,11,03,45,295,,07,28,095,,22,28,156,,19,17,283,*7A $GPGSV,3,3,11,24,11,050,,25,11,317,,29,07,094,*49 $GPGSA,A,3,06,16,18,21,,,,,,,,,6.7,3.0,6.0*3D . . . --------------------------------------------------------------- When this all works, you can start tangogps. Make sure your Neo is connected to the internet so that it can download maps. You can find a precompiled ipkg, more info and a video on http://www.tangogps.org/ Enjoy & let me know if it is useful for you!
