Thanks Radek for the info and your incredible, and not enough recognised, effort with qtmoko! I will try qtmoko as a first option ;) d On Tue, Jan 26, 2016 at 9:18 AM, Radek Polak wrote: > On Monday 25 of January 2016 20:30:40 m...@dmatthews.org wrote: > > > > > >qtmoko: still there?

Re: gta02 as gps/navigator (in 2016)
googling I didn't find anything relevant/up-to-date about installing linux on a satnav ... :( it would be easier to buy a cheap android tablet and use it as a satnav ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Or get a mainstream satnav and put exclusively free software on it. That would probably be the cheapest option. Are there projects to do this? I presume they all run Linux anyway, but maybe not enough people are interested. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: gta02 as gps/navigator (in 2016)
Thanks for the replies. Well it would be nice to use gsm as well... I was thinking about using it also as anti-theft (gps+accel+sms). I remember having a lot of problems of data corruption on the sd card with shr (which was my favourite at the time), that I think might be a serious show-stopper. I will start with debian, and if you have any other ideas please tell.

The 2.6.39 kernel is nearly perfect. It has some kind of very rare suspend resume bug, but for navigation it's not problem. QtMoko has NeronGPS - native Qt and very nice app and also native version of navit: http://qtmoko.sourceforge.net/apps/qtmoko-navit.html You can launch TangoGPS and other X apps via QX application. My Freerunner has no longer working GPS, so i am not using it nowadays at all.
