Re: Bounty for Navit delopment - Free freerunner - anyone?

 I suggest you all try the new navit
 (http://download.navit-project.org/navit/openmoko/svn/navit-svn-2308_armv4t.opk)
 it has a few improvements which MAKE IT USABLE WITH OSM (seems like it
 was already usable with mapguide reiseplanner):
 *added a 20 MB cache for the FR
 *there was a bug until a few days ago which made the navigation to
 recalculate at every update (mostly with OSM)

 time to calculate route is now acceptable and re-calculating also!

I confirm that with svn-2308 I was able yesterday for the first time
to use Navit to navigate with my FR.

This found a couple of new problems - the voice is far too quiet -
which I assume is an alsa problem, and it navigates to the current
position if you pick an impossible destination - i.e. on a road where
no cars are allowed.

Regards

Jeff

 Hello navit community.

 This idea was brought up at the openmoko mailinglists.
 I just wanted to ask you guys if this makes sense to you before we proceed.

 So far this is only a brain fart of me, but if it is worthwhile I would
 try to push this in the openmoko community.

 Would it help if the openmoko community sponsors a freerunner to someone
 who can optimise navit for this device?
 Navit is by far the most promising and most important app for openmoko,
 but unfortunately it is very slow and not perfectly prepared to the whole
 situations.
 For example I believe it still uses the gpsd emulation instead of the
 gypsy api and so on...

 The whole thread is there (Best graphics performance?)

 well, maybe we all should chip in and give the navit author a
 freerunner,
 to spur his motivation :-)

 If that is the fix, count me in as a supporter.
 A FR optimised build would be really great. Not just from performance
 prospective, but also the right default config for example.

 Maybe we canuse one of these services that allow you to set bounties for
 opensource developments...

Which commit fixes this bug? I'd like to benchmark it. I looked at the
svn log but could only find that a new option for specifying cache
size was added.

 is this part of the official navit sources?

The cache size setting at least is. Look for cache in ./configure
--help or svn log
