Re: Navit questions...
Hi, now I have played around a little with navit and tried to reduce the recalculation when speed is under 4. It's my assumption that a walk is at last about 5 km/h, thus I added some lines of code to handle this case. But before I am really do too much that propably has been done I would ask here. The speed that triggers a recalculation of the displayed map is about more as 2. Should this be done a little bit more ? Or could it be done by a 'lowpass' that increases the trigger about half the average speed (three or four times measured) if the average is more than the result of the increase ? The decrease should be done similar (about some below the average). This will reduce the amount of recalculations a lot I think. A question beside. I want to try my changes on my FreeRunner for a live test: How to get changes into the MokoMakefile built of navit. Should I create a patch to be applied in a prebuild step ? I have seen several directories per user that do something I don't understand yet. Any further help out there ? Another idea: What about a real voice, recorded from someone to replace the synthetic voice ? (There are not so much combinations I think) Thanks Lothar Am 19.10.2008 um 04:57 schrieb Marco Trevisan (Treviño): KaZeR wrote: (i finally ordered and received a Freerunner :) ) Nice, are you a navit dev?
