I'm playing with a GPS application that's ostensibly designed for OpenMoko, but haven't actually got a Neo1973 yet to test it with (nor much luck with the emulator)
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Pyroute http://youtube.com/watch?v=kTB_OTGn9BE Is there anyone who could help to get it running in the actual openmoko environment; see if the GTK window actually runs, whether any of the modules it depends on are difficult to install, etc. Technology: * Python * Cairo * GTK (just enough of a wrapper to let Cairo do all the drawing) * Touchscreen-style inputs (a finger app; no stylus should be needed) Features: * OpenStreetMap maps * Route finding (within city-sized areas) * Routing for cyclists, pedestrians, etc. as standard * GPSD integration if you have a GPS * or just set your position manually on the map * GeoRSS and geonames (plus POIs from OSM soon) Future plans: * Download longer routes from a "route finding web service" * http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Pyroute_share_server Regards, OJW p.s. anticipating lots of angry emails demanding I contribute to some *other* gps app instead -- please don't send those...
