How to install maemo-mapper on OS2007HE for dummies

thanks to revwillie


I did it finally. No fix indoor but it works anyway.

Darius
____________
followed instructions as follows

Don't bother for libgps16
There is no need such lib to download.
Mayby it comes already with OS2007HE precompiled.

Installed xterminal
Installed mc
Downloaded 2 mentioned files to media card
than copied to / directory
and followed instructions.

Default Re: Maemo Mapper v2.2 for OS2006/OS2007/OS2008
Thanks j800. I figured out what was wrong. Some packages have been updated, so I updated your steps:

Here's the process I followed:
(FORGET) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Install new libgps16

**Get http://packages.debian.org/sid/libgps17/armel/download
**mkdir tmp1
**dpkg --extract libgps17* tmp1
*Install new gpsd
**Get http://packages.debian.org/sid/gpsd/armel/download
**mkdir tmp2
**dpkg --extract gpsd_2* tmp2
*Copy new files into place
**cp tmp2/usr/sbin/gpsd /usr/sbin
**cp tmp1/usr/lib/* /usr/lib
*Tweak libs
**cd /usr/lib
**ln -s libdbus-1.so.2.0.0 libdbus-1.so.3

So then, as described in another post:

edit /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf using your mac address and BT reciever's name:
Quote:
#
# RFCOMM configuration file.
#

rfcomm0 {
# Automatically bind the device at startup
bind yes;

# Bluetooth address of the device
device 00:00:00:00:00:00;

# RFCOMM channel for the connection
channel 1;

# Description of the connection
comment "btG-7000";
}
power cycle to test the rfcomm's ability to bind on startup

at root prompt, "rfcomm" should report the receiver's data

in MM, open the settings dialog and choose the 'file path' option with "/dev/rfcomm0" as the path

then enable GPS.

That was actually a typo. I meant to change that 16 to a 17 and forgot

This is unnecessarily complicated. All you need is to recompile osso-gpsd for 770 and install it over the old one (needs red pill mode). I have done it, but I do not have a suitable web space to put the deb. There was another approach documented (http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=13086) but I don't know how well that works. Please see also http://lists.maemo.org/pipermail/mae...er/013287.html

agreed, that's way simpler. It does require Red Pill Mode

It has been a while since I used maemo-mapper, actually before the february update to OS2007HE. But today I noticed that maemo-mapper is not able to connect to a gps receiver. I have the february HE version, since it allows to change the device language. I had set both the device language and the regional settings to Finnish.

I now changed the regional setting to English (UK), keeping the device language as Finnish, and after that maemo-mapper is able to connect to gps. I do also have the recompiled osso-gpsd.

Hope this helps someone.

Hi there, I have same problems I suppose..
I'm, using N770 with "SU-18_2007HACKER_4.2008.7-1_PR_F5" image and I have Nokia's GPS BT receiver.

I just Can't MaemoMapper (2.4 or something) to Connect to the GPS. It finds it and tries to connect to it but then looses the BT icon on screen. I have paired the GPS from Controll Panel. Language of the Device is now English..

Will that redpill install help? (osso-gpsd)

Hi again.
It worked, Now My MaemoMapper 2.41 works fine with Hacked OS2007.
1. I did this RedPill thing.. nice.
2. I installed that "osso-gpsd_1.0-23_armel.deb" (http://sandel.homeip.net/debs/osso-g...0-23_armel.deb) and updated the current version.
3. Reboot.
4. MaemoMapper connects to Nokia GPS like a charm.. BluePill went also fine.

I have now noticed that this has nothing to do with the device language. It seems that if the device is on a long time (days, weeks, I'm not sure), the bluetooth system somehow does not work anymore. So the device has to be rebooted (or is there any other way to get around this?) and after that maemo-mapper and other applications using bluetooth work again.

Really annoying since I really don't like rebooting since I have suffered a WSOD.
