Re: QNavitCtl - Navit Bookmarks via dbus
Hi Christian, I hacked a script together, so you can now route from A to B via C. ( or via C, D, E etc ;-) ) I put it on the navit website [6] Please feel free to take a look and use (parts of) it for your own program. Erasing the current waypoint would be nice to do in a gui, now you need to edit the itinerary file. Thanks for your help with this, i couldn't have done it without you!

Re: QNavitCtl - Navit Bookmarks via dbus
Hi Ed, already posted on navit user ML about this - as the wiki still tells the old way: http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Dbus When I know how to do it, I will update qnavitctl. Cheers, Christian Hi Christian, Thanks a lot for your explanation! I think i had the same problem you had, i can't set a destination with the current version of navit. (Dbus is enabled) So, i will ask the people from the navit team on how to use dbus with the current version. Thanks again and happy new year everybody. Kind regards, Ed Christian Rüb wrote: Hi Ed, to build it on your PC, you need to have qmake (from Qt) installed. Then simply run #qmake (the name may differ, liket qmake-qt4 or something) This will create your Makefile, then simply run #make and you are done, you will get one binary called qnavitcl - that's it. If you want to build for your Openmoko phone, use my bitbake recipe here (simply copy to your OE tree) and it will build the package for you. If you want a prebuilt binary - get it from here [1] (you'll also get dependencies from there). It is built for SHR-U. Have you enabled dbus in navit.xml? This is essential. Use dbus-send to get a navit instance and then you can control it through the path you get back. Have a look at [2] how I did it in Qt: registerNavitInstance() and setCenter() will be of most interest for you. If you use dbus-send, you also need to print the replies - otherwise you cannot use them ;-) - see man page for futher details BUT - with current version of navit I could not get it to work as the dbus interface seems to have changed - iter does not exist anymore and I have not found a way yet to get an instance and set destination :( Cheers, Christian [1] http://openmoko.senfdax.de/shr-new-unstable/ [2] http://git.senfdax.de/?p=qnavitctl;a=blob;f=src/mainwindow.cpp;h=a7b076db790971245b2d4c6769f13ba92b194b3e;hb=a3d4e3ea1506321d09a735e69810e3be01ccc860 Hi Christian, i am trying to use navit and dbus, but so far i haven't find out how to do it. I did download your source, but how do i build it? ( real noob here...) Could you explain how to build it from source? I am used to ./configure, make, make install Can you give an example of dbus-send to set a destination in navit? i want, like you, to have a list of waypoints and i want to set waypoint 2 as destination, as soon as i am near waypoint 1. Thanks a lot in advance.

Re: QNavitCtl - Navit Bookmarks via dbus
arne anka:
i just tried qnavitctl right now and had two problems:
- where is the bookmarks.csv supposed to come from? navit creates
bookmark.txt
- tab buttons, button register leads only to could not get Navit
instance and
QDBusObjectPath: invalid path
reply:
coud not get iter
Thanks for your feedback, please have a look at my frist mail:
you have to create a bookmarks.csv yourself
format is NOT the same as navit bookmarks.txt, but
name; lat; lon
The reason is I only support decimal coordinates in QNavitCtl and not all types
of card mappings as Navit does.
The second error sounds like dbus is not activated for navit, you have to
explicitely do this in navit.xml:
...
plugin path=$NAVIT_LIBDIR/*/${NAVIT_LIBPREFIX}libbinding_dbus.so.0
active=yes/
...
by default it says no here

Risto H. Kurppa wrote: So far I haven't been able to Reliably route longer trips Using OSM maps? What do you mean by unreliably? No route, bad route, crash when routing? I was traveling somewhere and it only routed to the next crossroads, not further. I had set the destination as bookmark and selected it there. And the roads are ok, it should've been able to find a route there anyway (I think I had a look at the route with some other www-router using OSM and they worked) Risto H.

One of the problems is that navit searches for streets not based on community borders but closest city center / something. This causes for example a big part of Northern Helsinki (in Finland) to look like it'd be at Vantaa, when searching for street names (that worked at some stage, now that you mention it..) - I guess it's the same problem as with this: Unfortunately using the country border for detecting the membership of a town also isn't an option, because the boundaries are usually not closed or wrong (and btw, there are places in Finland like 'Ii' - the name has only 2 letters - not possible to search..)
