Thanks for the report! I finally found the bug that when cursor moves out of left or top screen, the "keep location/cursor in view" mechanism fails.

Re: [GPS] new GPS GUI application for OM freerunner
Hi mgy, good little app. I tried it in the car yesterday and found that the cursor moved off the map unless manually centred - is there a way to make the cursor fixed and the map move under it as does tangogps? Its not possible to continually hit centre whilst driving/biking. I do like the way the display is organised - better, cleaner and more informative.

Re: [GPS] new GPS GUI application for OM freerunner
First of all, Google map and Google sat are good, but there are distorts and offsets, at least in my region. I don't know whether that's due to technical reason or something else. That's why I the "FixMap" button in "Map Tile" menu. As of Google map, only offset found, but Google stat has distort + offset, that's non-linear thus can't be "fixed" at all. Without good maps, any GPS GUI application becomes nearly useless. As an author, I have to think about map licenses. The ideal way is to remove any commercial licensed map configurations from omgps. But to provide you and me a ease of use application, I finally decided to keep Google map and Yahoo sat in config file :D Here is the config for Google sat: def GoogleSat(): return "min-zoom=1; max-zoom=17; image-ext=jpg" def GoogleSat_url(zoom, x, y): return "http://khm.google.com/kh/v=37&hl=en&x="; + `x` + "&y=" + `y` + "&z=" + `zoom` + "&s=Gali" (1) You append these two functions to $HOME/.omgps/config_01./map.py, make sure replace leading blanks with a tab latter. (2) Then add "GoogleSat" to map_list() Please note: (1) about the parameters "v=" and "hl=", version may changes, you can set hl as your locale? (2) the downloads always fail, it may returns a HTML page which contains clear text redirected URL. I think that's a polite anti-spam way. - About tracking (or tracing), I accept your suggestion. I choose limited in-memory points due to performance reason, but that may be unnecessary at all or performance can be improved by better algorithm. About the slow response of zoom/pan: yes, it is slow especially when maps are layered. I've taken considerable time to improve the response time, in-memory tile cache is one of the solution, but I know there are chances to improve it. I'd like to provide you and me a new version with faster UI response.

Re: [GPS] new GPS GUI application for OM freerunner
It's the two sides of a coin. It's not a good idea to suppose something that we are not sure, right? Let me explain. 1. Think about app A save it's maps to dir_a, app B save it's maps to dir_b, and c, d... What about when the "default" one changes it's directory? 2. soft link is the best choice. If you suddenly flashed a new image, and forgot to backup, the MicroSD partition saves you time and energy. If the Os can't boot, you can still read/backup data from MicroSD. I did not suppose user is root at all, even though we are all roots, that's why I soft link *.py to $HOME/.omgps/, because compiled python binary file is saved to the directory which contains the source *.py module.

Re: [GPS] new GPS GUI application for OM freerunner
1. "Center" button is not "auto center" which waste power -- that's on each update, if the screen distance between new position and previous one greater than (say 5 pixels), the position is redrawn. As of "auto center", the whole map must be updated, that's really a waste. 2. Each time you press the "Center" button, it switch to "keep location in view" mode. In this mode, if you don't pan (drag) map, it keeps the location(position) in view, else the view back layers are not updated. About the foot: it means tracking. By default on each start the tracking is not enabled, so the image is a foot with "x" on means tracking is disabled now. If you start tracking, the image is updated to another foot without "x" sign on it.

Wild! No easy sure. But... can be done with: (1) a bigger background pximap (2) iimage rotation (3) curve fitting to determine direction (4) semi transparency as you said Waste energy! However, to see clearly in sun light, you have to adjust backlight nearly 100%, thus energy is not a problem. Since most road segments are straight, I recommend you upgrade your "supporting frame" rotate-able :D I'm also a biker, but I'm doubting if it is safe to keep watching on the screen while moving.

You can do it by soft link. Actually I soft link /home/root/.omgps to a sdcard partition. I haven't test the share yet :) Risto H.

Re: [GPS] new GPS GUI application for OM freerunner
Hi! Another report, I really much like it! ATM i can't come up with anything that omgps didn't have that tangogps had and I'd need -> Very glad to see another cool map app written! Built-in u-blox support is nice, GPX managing, everything. I'm travelling tomorrow so I'll enjoy testing it there :) r -- | risto h. kurppa | risto at kurppa dot fi | http://risto.kurppa.fi ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

[GPS] new GPS GUI application for OM freerunner
Hi all: I got my gta02 freerunner on DEC 2008. After nearly 5 months development, I'm happy to announce the first alpha release of omgps. It is not as feature rich as other GPS applications, such as tangoGPS, anyway I think it should satisfy most of the daily needs. Please goto http://code.google.com/p/omgps/, download and give a try. After ten years of programming as a web developer for most of the time, now I join the community with my little gift :) Thanks you to open source community -- for your great works and spirits. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/-GPS--new-GPS-GUI-application-for-OM-freerunner-tp2948257p2948257.html Sent from the Openmoko Community mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
