No, just wait. The Navit package has a lot of small files. This need some time to write to the flash drive.

As I expect that a lot of users are from Germany. Here is a post from a German Palm forum how to fix the 1.4.5 OTA problem.

Great work despite the bad football result. How did you find the time? The installation works fine for me and all the old bookmarks and maps transferred over. Alas same voice as before.

The packaging into Preware was done 11pm to 2am Adelaide time last night

What does the first post say?

First post says, remove the three...but doesn't say anything about reinstalling espeak and locale.

Also since the app id is the same for both versions, the update option is there is Preware and there are chances that some people might just click that.

So I just wanted to be clear rather than being sorry later.

Thanks for being considerate.

That's cause Preware automatically handles dependencies. That's why the instructions specify Preware, and not another package installer that does not handle dependencies.

Also since the app id is the same for both versions, the update option is there is Preware and there are chances that some people might just click that.

It will probably work if they do. But they should read the thread before upgrading alpha testing software anyway, so if they didn't then they've failed to be an effective alpha tester and will probably eventually lose all their data if they continue to trivialise alpha testing.

i have install it and got myself the map of germany .. it is working great. the only drawback maybe that the map database is still not accurate enough. for example the map of Malaysia, my birth country, is not detail enough ..

[jakelaw]

can't wait to use this. This is exactly the kind of GPS solution I have wanted for the Pre. I have used the previous version with pretty good success and despite its limitations, I feel it is a pretty good option.

Excellent, followed all the instructions including the umask=0000 fix, seems to work like a charm on German O2 Pre with webos 1.4.5.

Great work, you guys rock. I am impressed how quickly you got this sorted out when 1.4.5 came out.

Thanks

Looking forward to trying this as soon as 1.4.5 gets pushed out in the US. Also continuing to work with Verizon on the GPS issue; I'm expecting another call from my contact there today. {Jonathan}

doesn t work for me. i am on a german o2 palm pre 1.45. i installed all needed apps and services. i also did install a map in the correct folder but when i click on the icon nothing happens.

the folder is there, but there is no log file

I can confirm that making the changes to fstab corrected this problem for my german Pre

navit is working ok for me on an IRL 1.4.5 Pre except for the speech synthesis...it doesn't work at all. The service is installed. How would I go about troubleshooting this?

Does Preware install org.webosinternals.espeak_1.43.31-1_armv7.ipk?

This seems to be required for speech to work but I cant find it on my Pre after installed Navit from Preware.

No it is not. Only speechd and locae are required.

start Novaterm:
cd /media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/applications/org.webosinternals.speechd/
spd-say 'This is a test'

If the text is spoken then the speechd is installed and the service is running

I tested this, but it did´nt work... here´s what my novaterm says:

can not cd /media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/applications/org.webosinternals.speechd/
spd_say

Did i something wrong or is it an issue in my speech synthesis?

Thanks, Sascha

First: cd /media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/applications/org.webosinternals.speechd
Then: spd-say 'something'
(it's spd-say, not spd_say)

GSM o2 1.4.5 (doctored) pre user here - navit works, although the maps available for my country are not that great.

[smilingn]

After the OTA, I had the blinking icon as described earlier.
After meta-doctoring to 1.4.5 everything works.

Haven't tried it yet while in a car, but everything seems to work (gps, tracking).

Thanks for the hard work and FINALLY a navigation-solution for non-sprint-pre-owners (like me in Germany).
