Just wondering if anyone else has tested this yet? I just downloaded and installed. It seems to see the GPS receiver if you detect it as bluetooth. I'm not outside yet so haven't had a change to test.

I've tested it. Works for me.

Seriously, though, which platform/hardware are you using? OS2008? N800 or N810? External bluetooth GPS receiver? I'm still trying to gauge how well the new version is working out in the wild....

Sorry, I thought the 810 was implied since I posted in this forum . When I had to select the GPS device, I tried the path to the device in the local device tree, no luck, a scan found it, I'm guessing it picked it up over my own bluetooth connection, basically connecting back.

Interesting. You're saying that you used the "Scan..." button in the Maemo Mapper Settings dialog and it detected the N810's internal GPS receiver? Or it detected a separate bluetooth GPS receiver?

Using scan doesn't detect the internal gps on mine.

Gnuite,

This latest version is the tops.

Last week, when I still had 2007 and MM2.1 (never got to 2.1.1), I would get MM lockups literally a dozen times during my 7-ish mile commute to work. I could get it working again by disabling and re-enabling the GPS, but it would lock up again, sometimes within seconds. Totally unusable.

After I flashed to 2008, MM 2.1.1 came out, but you had a note saying it wouldn't work with 2008, so I waited.

This morning, I installed MM 2.2 and not a single lockup on the drive to work! Very nice. BTW, I deleted all of my maps, POIs, tracks, and routes from my SD card before I installed 2.2, so it's a totally clean install.

I loaded maemomapper on my new 810 yesterday....

I works...

I had to use the GPSd.... setting to get it to work with the
internal GPS...

/dev/dgps does not appear to be there...


Nokia does not leave the gpsd deamon running when the gps is
not in use...
I don't know why they chosse to do that.... gpsD supports powering
down the GPS device when not in use..


so to get it to work you need to have either the control panel
gps LOCATION widget running... or the stock map program....

One last note.. and it may not be a bug...
but when I close maemo mapper.. it does NOT unload from memmory.
The process is still loaded...
I have to KILL the process or reboot the 810 to get it to go away...
If not.. .I cant load the program a second time.

you may be able to put a small bit of code in the startup file
to start gpsD... I dont know if that would then turn on the
gps reciever.. but it would be worth a try

Tested for first time on my trusty old Nokia 770 this morning and it worked very very well. Previously tested a number of memo mapper versions on 0S 2007 and latest on OS 2008 with my N800 where with the recent addition of rotating maps where we have full control of them in addition to (Auto rotate) is excellent.

Do take time to get to grips with ALL the features of Maemo Mapper as its well worth it!

I had heard it said that the rotating maps might not work well on the Nokia 770 due to the hardware constraints, I agree the rotation is very slightly slower, but not by very much at all and certainly not to the detriment of real application use. Very very usable on the Nokia 770.

One application that everyone should have on their Internet Tablets whatever flavour and version of OS (OS 2006, 2007 & 2008) Maemo mapper works as advertised. Its a perfect application in my humble opinion, for Nokia 770 & N800 users, get yourselves a bluetooth GPS for Christmas and install Maemo Mapper if you have not already done so

I haven't gotten it to work with the internal gps. but a bluetooth scan picked up and is using my motorola v3m. I couldn't get that to work with the 770.

Correction, it is working with the internal.

MM v 2.2
N810
os2008
version 1.2007.42.18

To get it to work,
I had it set to /dev/pgps (couldn't find gps device)
so I tried to hook up with the v3m
checked bluetooth, scan....
on motorola (find me)
N810 set motorola phone (It pulled the mac add)
Maemo mapper works!
I backspaced the mac address and it still works (even with phone off) STILL SET TO BLUETOOTH

on the 810 the sat icon comes on and off when MM starts/stops
Sometimes MM won't start after closing without a reboot

Works great! Thanks gnuite!
