FOSS-GPS: I have been using tangogps on my Neo Freerunner (running debian) for a about a year and have been very pleased with it. A couple weeks ago, after a package upgrade tangogps simply stopped working. I haven't quite figured out why, but I suspect it had something to do with the change in protocol for gpsd that occurred at about the same time. _Supposedly_ I'm supposed to use a wedge package, fso-gpsd which interfaces with the Freerunner's dbus interface to the gps chip and acts like gpsd. However, attepting to install fso-gpsd removes both tangogps and foxtrot gps. Which brings me to my questions:
1) Does foxtrotgps directly support the dbus interface to the gps? I presume that the answer is 'no', but would be willing to work on programming such a feature with a little guidance from someone who knows more about this than me. Or is there some other way to get foxtrotgps to listen to the gps chip? 2) This is unrelated. I think that the "map detail" option in the map context menu is broken. I clicked the "map detail->fewer/larger details" option at one point. However now the map is stuck there. If I click the "map detail->more smaller details" option I get no change. Is there some place that exposes this option elsewhere (maybe through gconf, on which I'm no expert)? Thanks in advance for any help. ~James Hiebert _______________________________________________ This message is sent to you from [email protected] mailing list.
