hi guys, I want to try this great app :)

but.....I don't understand how to download maps (*.nmap I believe..).

I go here: http://www.openstreetmap.org/export/#

I select export, but extension are: jpg, osn, png.. but not .nmap

What have I to do?

thanks for your help, Fabio
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] altae:
You have to use the software (for desktop pc) that comes with navicomputer. It stores the map in the appropriate format.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fabius88:
thank you altae!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pawelsky:
@fabius88:

...or if you don't have a PC nearby switch to Online mode in the application itself and select the Download Map... option.

Make sure you are connected to internet via WiFi/ActiveSync rather than GPRS otherwise you will be charged a lot!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fabius88:
very very good! thanks you too man ;)

I've tried this application today; I have saved my route --> firstrun.gpx .. ok

is there a way to see on my pc this route? so I can see details..

thanks!

How are the maps in rural areas? I live in an urban one by comparison, but 15 minutes outside of Little Rock is pure forest, and I like to kick it out there. It's good to be able to shoot, burn, and blast stuff without the po'po' rollin' up.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] djsillies:
Are there any plans of making this application available to non-touch screen devices? (htc dash 3g)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] louis0815:
Well, at least for OpenStreetMap you can easily find the answer yourself: just go to the OSM website, enter the name of your place in the searchbox and have a look at the available map details. (or try this direct link if your profile details are still correct and I am not mistaken)

And if you're missing some details you can easily add them to OSM yourself....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] louis0815:
I guess you could still add them manually again (have a look at older versions for the correct settings ;)).

But as the OCM admins started complaining about traffic from NaviComputer they might sooner or later decide to block these requests on their servers. And then you're stuck again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] louis0815:
setup for administrator only?

Is it still really necessary to have administrator privileges for the PC setup? This was already mentioned earlier in this thread, but there doesn't seem to be a real solution available....

Just like kuifje in the a.m. post I don't have admin rights on a corporate computer - but as I do have some advanced rights I am allowed to install software on this PC as long as it doesn't try to setup new drivers in the system or install in C:\ drive.

Request

You definitely deserve a beer!!!

And here a first request: very often, because of timeouts, some maps are not downloaded completely. It would be useful a tool or an option to 'fix' these maps by downloading only the missing tiles without re-downloading the entire map.

Thanks,

After using Navicomputer for a while....

...I have enjoyed it very much indeed.

I nevertheless would like to say some ways for an improvement.

I addition to kilometers, statute miles and feet...

1. Speed in KNOTS (nautical miles per hour).

2. Distance in NAUTICAL MILES (1852 meters).

In so doing you will add to the Navicomputer user list more people, probably related to the naval and aviation industries, which currently uses those units to plot their whereabouts.

In addition to current position as given by GPS....

1. A little window to show LATITUDE and LONGITUDE of the place I have below my finger, so one can easily get the position of a place we may be interested in. You could call that window "REQUESTED POSITION" while the one given by GPS was in celestial navigation already given the name " MOST PROBABLE POSITION"

Other features such as "keep map oriented to north" or "keep map oriented to actual track being made" would also be very nice to be implemented although I consider them of a somewhat less importance.

Sorry. Been away on business.

If you go into your Programs/Navicomputer/Navimapper and open up the XML file, you can see the format used to add map sources. It's fairly simple.

Downloading Maps

Fabius,

Go to the Navicomputer website (www.navicomputer.com) and find the Tips and Tricks section. There is a full explanation of using either Navimapper (which comes with NaviComputer), or using Navicomputer on the device itself.

Admin Rights

At the present time, it is necessary for a user to have Admin rights. Since the installation involves exe files, it is common for those users to have higher rights.

You can try installation on a mem stick. I have not tried it, but it should work as long as the stick is recognized as a "drive".

Let me know.

Comments

Your comments and suggestions are noted, but keep in mind that the screen on most devices has limited space and the more of it that is cluttered with 'information', the less users will like it. It is a compromise between what is actually needed, and what might be wanted. In future versions, some changes will occur as deemed appropriate.

QA
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] qanda6900:
Saving tiles

This can be done now. When using NaviMapper, select only the zoom levels you want. They can be saved into a separate folder. As long as this folder is placed in the same directory as the other tiles, NaviComputer will recognize their presence and use them accordingly.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] louis0815:
setiyana, had you spent the time you needed to write this post on looking it up on OpenStreetMap.org you would already have the answer in detail. The corect answer to your (very generic) Question is a simple YES. :rolleyes:

The idea of NaviComputer is NOT to give you some ready packed maps etc., it rather gives you a possibility to use whatever maps you want without needing huge data plan for permanent downloads (like with GoogleMaps).

Ans as said before, if you are missing some features just add them on OSM.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mafesama1:
Little space.....

Thank you for your answer...

It is not necessary to keep such a window open all the time...

I just meant that as you already have done with "ADD POI",

a lttle window could be made to appear if so desiere so as

to show Lat and Long below the finger.

Thank you.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sprog123:
I've noticed an issue with saving track logs. It appears that when I pick track point interval of 5sec, the data points are some how "resampled" or interpolated inaccurately. In the speed vs. time graph attatched, you can see at higher speeds, the data ends up in a "sawtooth" pattern. The average speed is correct, but the actual data points jump above and below the average speed at each 5 sec trackpoint interval. Please just look at the data between 300sec and 400sec. The other data is when the train was entering tunnels and GPS signal was lost.

During the actual tracking, the speed display in the program was correct, so I think it's just an issue when writing out the log file at 5sec interval. Is there any way to have the option to preserve the raw data/time points in the log file and avoid the time interval resampling? Thanks in advance!

is it possible to download map, using the navimapper in this web: www.centamap.com?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bluecharge:
Hi QA,

tested NC on my HD2 during my trip to Mallorca (from Hannover). Works extremly great with OSM, and processes even big map slices very fast.

Issues so far:

Track recording failed after about 6 hours of recording time. Stopped with an error message concerning memory. No other programs running during that. Maybe a problem with that special device?

I travelled about 360 Minutes. Timecounter did not show reasonable values above 56 Minutes or so. I lost gps signal meanwhile, maybe it has something to do with that?

Distance was about 1700km. The first digit was not definitely "1" on display (very minor issue if at all).

As I mentioned, the track could not be saved due to hanging program. Question: as the track becomes longer and bigger in memory, is it constantly written on storage card or in device memory during recording? NaviComputer has been installed on storage card.

All in all, very nice tool!

Peter
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Christian72D:
What about the option to set a parameter in the config file to set the gps port?

I love the GPS Mod Driver, but NaviComputer does not use this port, it always takes te original port.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] qanda6900:
Map Site Usage

ZP,

I can't be sure. You would need to convert their server information to the format NaviComputer uses in the NaviMapper and try it.

You can search this forum area for users who have set up NaviMaper for different map sources.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] qanda6900:
GPS Port

Christian,

NaviComputer was designed to use the Windows settings and internal gps port.

For now, it will remain as is since it covers a wider range of user's devices.

NC had simplicity and ease of use in mind when designed, so as to limit the settings needed to get it to run. It was easier to use the internal port settings.

Regards,

QA
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] qanda6900:
I am not aware of any problem with your device that would create the issue, nor any with NC. Test the device again and if the issue persists, the Developer may need to evaluate the circumstances.

If the GPS signal is erratic, so will any value dependent upon it.

I will take a look at this. It may simply be the way your device displays the graphic font.

NC will save the data to the file you directed it regardless of where it is located (device or storage card). I direct all tracks to my storage card and have not had any issues.

Are you saving all NC data to your device? After 6 hours of recording time, you can accumulate a lot of data track.

The device stores POIs in the Bookmarks folder and will display them only if you go into the GPX option, use the slider on top to find the Bookmarks list, and click on the POI or POIs that you want. The icon next to the desired POI/POIs turns red. The POI/POIs will now show on the main screen map.

Sprog,

This is one for the Developer to analyze. Truthfully, I am not sure why the points do not appear linear throughout the recording. It may be that the GPS signal was weak at those times.

Ah !... "slider on top" was a well hidden secret, :)

Ok, now this product seems suddenly very useful.

I own a "Tracky" license, but NaviComputer have a superior way of using/getting offline map data.

GPX tracks are neat, and seem to follow standard, great.

How can I export my "bookmarks" later to f.eks Google Earth ?

- I wish they were saved in some sort of open format as well.

- Who's working on this application ? - anyone here ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NaviComputer:
Hi everybody,

Let me explain the backgrounds of GPX/speed:

GPX tracks never contain speed information. There are only trackpoints stored in the GPX, containing location and time. The speed is calculated by the program you use for analyzing the track by calculating speed=distance/time between trackpoints. With short trackpoint intervalls (like 5sec) in most cases this ends up with slighlty unsteady speed graphs because of the GPS location inaccuracy, especially when the GPS signal is weak.

Btw: OpenPisteMap is still working. Just need to update the tileurl in the MapSources.xml:

<TileUrl>http://tiles.openpistemap.org/contours/%z/%x/%y.png</TileUrl>

Btw2: New version is on its way...:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] acolytelee:
hi, thanks for the reply.

if you use g***e sat in Firefox or IE, there is indeed street names. is that an additional layer to sat view?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] AlCapone:
Dear developer:

What I like:

-Lightweight application

-Offline maps

-Getting maps using WindowsMobile directly (a BIG plus)

-Free

-Tracks saved in standard GPX files.

What I wish for: (highest priority on top)

-POI's saved in a standard format

-Selected/enabled POI's should be visible each time application starts

-Remember GPS state, (I wish to autostart GPS when application loads)

-Map coverage overview: see attached mock-up image.

(The problem is; if I have a good map for a certain small city, it's hard to zoom into it form the world, without centering on it perfectly first.., but where is it ?

-Please consider switching to Qt , before you are too stuck with .net (lock-in), so you can make an Android version as well, my next OS... I don't have much faith in WM7.

I am looking forward to next version, hope to get it before departure (Wednesday) , and $20 donation is sent right *now*.
