What I don't understand is why it doesn't take the 48x48 icons instead. Does gui_about_48_48.png exist? |

I pushed an update. The makefile contains some information, of how I got localization to work. But you need to be careful, I don't even know if I was just lucky to get it working this way ...

Hi Noradtux,
I'm back from easter vacation and you have made an alpha version ready. I'm impressed of your progress. The current version is working for me for 5-60 minutes. I get the most instable part is the search for city and streets (Actions=>cities). A other thing. The png images that convert creates are not the best fore me. I attach an example. Is your result better? The makefile is not giving any error if the convert program is missing. The result is looking fine but all png images are missing. HaPe |

Hello HaPe,
I checked the images that are created on my system, and the look like they should. Regarding the stability I get the same results like you do. In case it helps, the cause for the major instabilities where threads stepping on each others toes. According to gdb there are three threads, one being (I guess) the SDL_WaitEvent and the other something dealing with the PDL. |

Yeah, Navit speaks to me !!!!
Hi noradtux,
today i gave espeak a try. And again I only can say thanks. It was only a 'make stage' in the espeak folder and copy the result to the Pre. Only to small updates to the Makefile was needed: - The current version in line 2 needs to be updated to 1.43.17 - There is still one hard coded version number in line 15. This needs also be updated to 1.43.17 or changed to the VERSION variable. Quote:

Here is a first Pre Alpha Version
Hi folks,
I crated packages for all how are not able to build it itself. But be care full the status is Pre Aplha. It is working but can crash every time. Remove the installed Navit ans Espeak ipk If you update from an older version. The locale ipk can stay as it is. You find them in Preware in the unknown section of the installed packages Attention: This packages only work with webos < 1.4.5 . A version for 1.4.5 and above will be in Preware when finished. You can download it here => Navit Alpha Attention: This packages only work with webos < 1.4.5 . A version for 1.4.5 and above will be in Preware when finished. The zip file contains a navit ipk, a espeak ipk and some locale ipks. You need to install at least the navit and the espeak ipk. The espeak package dose not have any Icon. It can only be removed via Preware. To get the local language working you need to install the locale ipk for your lang/county. I made some small once with only one lang_COUNTRY combination and one big with all I have. Only use the all one if you can not find a matching other, as the installed size is about 64MB for the all one. ONLY INSTALL ONE LOCAL IPK AT THE TIME!!!!!! You also need a map. Go to Navit :: Planet Extractor and create one of the part of the world you need or look for created maps here => OpenStreetMap - Navit's Wiki Connect your Pre in USB mode, create a folder named MapsNavit and put the *.bin file into it. To switch between the three skins you need to open the navit.xml in .app-storage/file_.media.cryptofs.apps.usr.palm.applications.org.webosinternals.navit_0/ . At the button you find the section where the skin is included. Remove the comment makers "<!--" and "-->" from the skin you plan to use and add them to the current skin. Skin PreNav 'navit-gui-PreNav.xml':   Skin Pre 'navic-gui-Pre.xml':  Skin basic 'navit-gui.xml':  Now your read to go. Happy testing. HaPe & noradtux V100523: - new navit version - some fixes in the orientation switching - the garmin map driver is now included, but untested - new skin (if you are updating from an older version you need to delete the xml files in .app-storage/file_.media.cryptofs.apps.usr.palm.applications.org.webosinternals.navit_0/ on the Pre usb drive) - new espeak version - espeak has now an icon. You can test it by selection the icon. - espeak has a queue script if navit sends announcements to quick V100502: - new navit version (e.g. you can now delete bookmarks) - new skin (if you are updating from an older version you need to delete the xml files in .app-storage/file_.media.cryptofs.apps.usr.palm.applications.org.webosinternals.navit_0/ on the Pre usb drive) - new espeak version - added switch -a 200 to the espeak call (max volume) - added an autozoom on/off switch to Navits seetings menu (thanks to Kunz for the tip Navit für den Pre? - GPS/Navigation - Nexave Palmforum ) V100426: - early rotation support - new locale packages to get the translations in navit working - newer espeak version - newer navit version - some graphic SDL fixes - some of the missing poi images added and removed not used images - the speak output do not block navit anymore Last edited by HaPe; 07/02/2010 at 02:34 AM. Reason: New Version |

Hi all,
noradtux pushed a small update. To all how downloaded the Navid_100411 zip file, please download again. The Downlaod link is the same, you only will get a different file. The the Zip file name is now Navid_100412 and the ipk is org.webosinternals.navit_0.2.0-2_armv7.ipk . Pleas remove the old version before you install the new one. The About screen in Navid will show the same version number as it is based on the same Navid CVS version. For us the new one seems to be more stable. Thanks again to noradtux. HaPe |

got it installed but not took it out for a drive yet, is there anyway to get maps more detailed at present to show side streets ect. or is the development just not there yet? I think its been mentioned before that the address search feature isn't running yet right?
very happy you guys are working on this! This is probably my only problem with the pre here in the uk, the lack of sat nav. ps. As i said i havnt tried it outside yet, but is it functioning ok at the minute? Could it hapily get you from a to b? |

We invite you all to test to get more feedback and properly more developers to join in to help to get it better and better. For example my dream would be an integration into the Pres address book... I do not know where your are located. The German Map that you can extract from the Planetfile Navit :: Planet Extractor in very detailed. I only checked Frankfurt and Cologne until now. I did a quick look into the UK area and can see the small streets there to, but I do not know what streets are missing :-) That is what the Navit wiki says about Maps => Configuring Navit - Navit's Wiki I think the Europe Reiseplaner maps are Map&Guide maps. So you could try a Map&Guide Map if you have one. Hanspeter |

just had it running whilst i nipped out and it did the job pretty well, a couple of times the gps fell behind slightly and got ahead of its self slightly but im guessing that could be more down to the phones gps rather than navit? I can't get the address feature to work, i type in a town and get a little arrow to press to go to street name, however on the street name page there's no arrow to go to the next step.
some of the streets are still missing with the new map download but ill try that sitr you gave me before for that issue. Basically some are missing altogether then others it shows you the first few metres of the street then stops dead rather than continuing with the rest of the road. |

FWIW, there is a note on Navit's web site about the lack of street-level data in the USA maps among some others.
I built a custom .bin file last night for an area about 200 miles on each side from where I live from the maps link above, and it not only has dirt roads listed but also POI's and even railroad spurs through a nearby industrial park. Even so, I don't get the arrow when entering a street address either, and I'm guessing the reason is because the program keeps a parallel table of street addresses for navigation that doesn't exist for North America yet..... |

Thx for this version, so far I can say that I see where I am an can scroll thought the map (Germany downloaded from Navit) and can set the position to Route to, taht works also.
I am not shure if routing works when moving because I am at work right now  What won´t work, or I might be to stupid to use the Program, which is also very likely , is to put in a Town and a Street to navigate to.

I've been trying it too. I have a Spanish gsm Movistar Pre. I downloaded the map for Valencia and it worked, I showed me where I was, I was able to route to another point in the map but like others I was not able to route to an adress. Good work so far! keep it up, we'll be testing.
