 Download all the maps you need once when you're online.
 Tangogps will work fine offline after that.
 (The same goes for navit - you have to give it a map
 to work with. Tangogps merely has the option of downloading
 maps when needed.)

I use gps apps when I'm in an **unexpected** position/place.
Otherwise, I can look on a paper map or on Internet a couple hours
before. The 512mb sd card received with neo is enough to keep a navit
map (downloaded 'very' fast) to cover my daily 'unexpected' routes. I
can't say the same for tangogps. This doesn't mean that I don't use
it. Last time was 7 months ago, when I've been a little 'adventurous'
on an uncharted (by osm) area. I used the tracking feature of tangogps
to get back from where I started :)

 I was talking about putting the tremor mplayer into pkg-fso.

Ah yes, that is surely useful. And if it is already heading unstable I
think pkg-fso would be nice way get some testing done before it hits
unstable. Assuming of course that you have the extra time to prepare
the package.

Re: using FSO to controll secondary phone?

2010-01-19 Thread Frederik Sdun

if you want to remote control your freerunner over dbus you can use gabriel
[1] which is a dbus proxy over ssh.
if you want to forward you serial connection over tcp you can use a
forwarder written by alphaone [2].
I think if you want to expose you modem over a bluetooth connection, some
extra work is required.

Would it be possible to attach a secondary phone over BT to the
Freerunner and controll it with FSO, the same way as the inbuilt phone
device?

I think over bluetooth is not possible. But if you can establish a
network connection you can use gabriel[1[, which should be in the SHR
repo
since yesterday.

Why not bluetooth? Many cellphones expose AT interface over bluetooth,
with rfcomm channel created one can start another instance of ogsmd to
treat it like a single-line modem.

I had in mind that the secondary phone(s) should be as dumb as possible,
so I dont think establishing network connections to the secondary
devices would be desirable. That would imply a smartphone-level device.
