Map Code

Yes, you can.

We can no longer code Navi for OCM at their request. You can search this section in the forum for help on doing so. It is not hard to do.

Review the Tips and Tricks on www.navicomputer.com in the "How to" area.

It might help you.

It most certainly can! You cannot download an area to ALL zoom levels at one time in that it ties up the servers. You then download zooms in two or three different folders and store them on you device in the same place.

Don't need to do so. :rolleyes:

Well, at least that is right! :D

Map Download for Linux

Hello,

great application!

In NaviComputer Blog I found the png2nmap python-script from inigo, which works fine to generate maps with a linux computer.

Besides my donation this is my chance to contribute to that project: I worked on this script and added some improvements (tile checking before inserting to database, map title input,...). You can find the new version in the zip-file attached. The contained README.txt describes the details and brings also a HOWTO.

I would like to work further on map generation and therefore would like to know, if NaviComputer can deal with maps of non-rectangle and/or non-contigous regions? I think about modifying the script, so that it is possible to generate a map exactly for the desired region to keep map file(s) as small as possible.

Where can I find the specification of the nmap database structure? Is it a common format or specific to NaviComputer?

Greetings,

Uwe

Thanks, I know how to post links using BBCode, that's not the problem. New users to the forum are disallowed from posting links, to prevent drive-by spamming of the forum.

Unfortunately, the bug I'm experiencing is a dealbreaker for registering the software. While I think NaviComputer is a great product, I simply can't use it if I have to always be recording a track [or if I constantly have to turn the GPS off]. I've invested in an Android device, and will be relegating my HTC Touch to backup status. Would have preferred to spend that money supporting NaviComputer, but such is life.

Resume Download

Awesome software, very helpful as i always travel here.

Wishlist:

1. Able to resume of interrupted map download.

2. Option to add POI of current location instead of selecting on the map. Saving current location instead of pointing on the map is more accurate.

Thanks!!!!

Zoom 19?

Was this ever answered? I remember reading another posts about using "hidden" zoom levels, but for life of me can not find it again. I edited the .xml to add my particular mapsource and made the max zoom level 19. However, NaviMapper will only download up to zoom level 18. This particular mapsource does have a level 19 zoom level, so why doesn't NaviMapper use it when .xml is edited to max zoom 19?

Great app by the way! With sat images maps i'm using, it makes finding hidden trails and beaches so much easier than stumbling upon them when i'm hiking and looking for new spots. Will definitely buy you a couple of beers.

greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee8 program big effort

defenetly I will donate once My pay[al account activated :)

But, how or when can I download Satalite Maps or terian???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] themonkbythesea:
You have to find a mapsource that has sat or terrain images. Similar question have been asked a lot in forums. I don't know of any that allow it. Most notable sites that have sat images are ones like Google and Bing maps. However, the developer cannot condone or even assist caching of images from these mapsources because it is a policy violation of of those sites to do so. The developer originally allowed it, but it had to be pulled.

It can be done though, but you will have to figure it out on your own. Check out question/answer #16 on the FAQ section of the developer's site and there are a couple of posts on these forums on it too. Specifically a pretty much self explanatory post on page 83 for VirtualEarth/Bing maps. But keep in mind it is not allowed and probably safe to assume talk of it on here is pretty much frowned upon. Good luck!

Can you post the .cab file please? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Volis:
Hey not bad but still not perfect.. but almost :)

1. Shell you make it some DB where will be possible maps sources?

2. If I did download openCyclemaps, there sometime missing some pictures file, and all zoom is not visible :( It's possible to make some modification, when I downloading for example zoom 15 (there some file in my area missing), most of files are download and maybe 50 from 70 000 not, and all zoom lever doesn't reachable.. :/

PS: if you can solved 2, I don't need one :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zelidar:
I also don't care much about the desktop application. Those in need of the CAB file without going through the setup can use Universal Extractor. I know, it is kind of silly but it works and will most probably work with future releases as well :rolleyes:

- add the possibility to show on the screen more than one gpx track

Topo Maps

Hello,

I am new to the naviMapper and naviComputer but love it. Downloading to my phone enables me to use in 3gdead zones. Ok i have read the FAQ and looked at www navicomputer com FAQ php#_Toc251185256 #16. I am able to add to the xml and make those work. I have also looked at msdn microsoft com en-us library bb259689.aspx. I am still unable to find and download topo maps of MN, USA. I have seen topo maps in the screen shots for this product. I am using the newest version .94. Any help would be great. THanks! If its already be covered here sorry but I didnt see it.

Suggestions:

It needs a way of exporting POI's to kml or other open format.

It needs to be able to overzoom, - if you do not have map of the area you are moving in, the track is too small too see, (impossible to use it to return) - and it's impossible to set a precise POI.

My suggestion is to just let people zoom in any map, just show a label"overzoom" beside the scale if zooming closer than the best map allows.

power saving or battery drain on HD2

Hello all,

I love this app.

Last weekend I did a klimbing tour in the Alps. Everything was fine except the issue that my HD2 was running only 3-4 hours with NaviComputer running

Radio was turned off

screen brigthness 10%

screen always on (sorry I found out today how to keep GPS alive while sleep mode on HD2)

Do you have any more ideas how to extand battery time?

Because my trip was nearly 6 hours and my data so far recorded is all lost :(((

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] AlCapone:
maybe you should try to buy a new battery on ebay, I logged many trips in US, Australia and Japan, the last two months, and I think ~8hours were normal between battery changes. (TP2) - ...with radio on.

Did not have chance to upgrade to latest version 0.94 , used 0.93 because author did not publish .cab - and I were travelling, unless 0.94 is a hog, it should be fine anyway.

BTW: Tracky, while being a great application, hogs more power, . and have an ugly interface.

- So - does anyone know yet how to export POI's ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Homer-S:
hmm wired.

My battery is normally working fine ...

Was your screen turned off?

Maybe you can give me some more information about your device condition during tracking?

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] AlCapone:
I just run the program, and suspend the device.. (so display is off)

uh-oh - may I guess your GPS is suspended too, so you need to keep it running with display on ?

I had that "problem", then solved it by a small app, - see madhacker.org for the application I made, it configures GPS to remain active as long as needed, even when device is suspended..

Some ideas for development

Hi

I saw lots of requests for maps merging, perhaps thats because of the limitations of NaviMapper downloader. Here developers can work for these suggestions:

1- Only 8 levels of map can be downloaded at once, so if you want to download street level map till 18, the maximum zoom levels range you can choose is 11-18, due to this at zoom level 18 you can hardly download a detailed map of a big city, for a medium/ small country, its impossible to download in one file. developers can try to increase this zoom levels range (8 levels maximum currently).

2- Before X button at the top right of the Navimapper, there is maximise button [] but it is disabled, if it could be enabled, larger area in the map screen will allow users wider area of map to download.

Any other suggestions??

Did anyone figure out yet how to add VirtualEarth back to NaviMapper with the new MapSources.xml file format?

I want to download some Virtual Earth maps because where I am going OpenStreetMaps is useless, it has practically no data while Bing Maps (Virtual Earth data) has very detailed maps available.

Google Earth would be so la la, they don't have smaller streets in this area and Virtual Earth has much more detail.

There was some XML posted here a long time ago to add Virtual Earth but that doesn't work anymore in the new MapSources.xml format.

Thanks for any help in advance!

ok, a little off topic but with my HD2 it is unfortunatlly not working. I ran your nice tool, switched to "ON" but HD2 was not tracking the hiked path when in standby.

I fond a soultion: I excepted NaviComputer in S2U2 and now it seems to work.

Thanks anyway
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chrissicom:
To track while in standby do the following:

Hit the power button (rightest button) until the Quick List with the 4 big buttons appears. Then click "Lock Device". When the device is locked you can turn off the screen and GPS should stay active. This worked for me in a small test.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Homer-S:
Thanks for this hint nut it is not working on my HD2. Maybe it is due to S2U2. I am receiving a lock screen but I am not able to unlock it anyway ... softreset.

Working Map Of Germany and The World?

Hi all!

What do you think?

Could we have people from different countries uploading their areas and adding them to ONE Website?

I believe some of us have the 16GB or even 32GB micro SD cards which could hold the GPS infos of a whole country or countries of interest.

This would enable us to download a certain country instead of extracting a large file from the NaviMap software!

I would volunteer to download the map of Germany every 2 weeks and put it in a rapidshare or even on my own server.

I've been using NaviComputer for sometime now. It's a great app.

I have a wish-list of feature i hope to see in future versions of NaviComputer.

1. Search capability. Is there some way to download a database of a certain area you chose, and have the app refer to it when you do a search? To enable offline search capability of items such as street names, establishments, restaurants... etc.

2. Multitouch control. Basically, to enable multitouch zoom. Sometimes, while the phone is car-cradle, it's not easy to tap on the zoom in/zoom out buttons.

3. Auto-rotate.

Thanks :)

EDIT:

Got one more for the wish list.

4. To enable free-hand selection of map boundary for download. The current method of using rectangular boxes, inevitably includes areas not needed in the map. Such as the sea (for island countries), or land outside the desired boundary (for land-locked countries). This makes the map file really big, with thousands of needless tiles of the blue sea.

My solution with S2U2, just let the phone switches itself to standby. Worked for me. The measurement continued flawlessly. It didn´t if I just hit the power button (forced standby).

Can somebody explain that to me?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] AlCapone:
Well , sounds like the software uses different sleep, or actually wakes the device every x seconds, maybe to monitor features that do not have an interrupt.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] horstborsch:
Thanks for your answer, but leaving the device on during a measurement and wait until it locks itself is not always a good idea. whats the best way to keep the gps logging running and lock the device?

adding navicomputer to the s2u2 exception list isn´t smart at all? so the device will never lock during a measurement? enabling false input due to touching it...

there must be a better way to keep the measurement running und the device locked.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] AlCapone:
The best is, like I wrote before, to exclude GPS device from suspending if the serial connection is in use. ("port open") - it's done in registry, like I wrote before.

- The GPS will always sleep when not used, but will remain active as long as needed, no drawbacks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] horstborsch:
I think now I understand. The device gpd0 is the gps device (driver). By changing these reg entries the gps device will not be sent to power off by these three power states, right?

So after changing those entries I can power off/suspend/lock the phone and the gps device will continue?

I suppose it does not have any effect on battery lifetime because it will only be affected if the serial port is open (in use)?

thank you!

GREAT application

Hi,

I installed NaviComputer 0.94 a few days ago on my HTC HD2, and after playing with it only for 10 minutes I was convinced, its simply GREAT, and I made a donation immediately after. Good work, waiting eagerly for the next version to see what goodies are included.

I have sofar no suggestions for improvement, works just perfectly, without a glitch. I believe that adding location based navigation (how to get from a to b) is not necessary, there are other products on the market for that.

As for maps, OSM is excellent and good enough for street level maps, but what I am really missing is topographical maps (could be "OpenTopoMaps"?). That would really be something...

Regarding power consumption in stand-by-mode: I made the registry tweaks described in the thread, and now GPS stays active when I switch the handset off - perfect!

One minor bug: When tracking is activated the elapsed time shows the time showing the minutes with five decimals (why this accuracy BTW?), and the last digit is shown only partially. It looks like a left bracket "(", part of zero, e.g.

04:25.0810(. Anyway, this is a very small bug, probably easy to fix.

Again, good work!
