I'm trying to get into latitude but it's not working... I know that it supposed to be a message asking for permission but it's not appearing...

In my Desire HD was possible, but in an x10i it doesn't work...

Any hint on how to force the connection???

Just thought about this, after really understanding why google doesn't provide navigation in other countries because of licensing issues, does that mean its actually illegal for me to use bruts??

Thanx melvinchng,

One more noon question what should the map storage folder hierarchy looklike? I have tried with the zip file, with the zoom level folders and finally with the individual map tile (named like this "12376.png.andnav" but in all cases I can not view any maps from the rmap settings and saved map folder.

Is it because the have to be downloaded in the rmap format on my PC?

[G1 Android Development] melvinchng:
THe format is *Xxx.sqlitedb*. Select this format in mobile altas and you're able to view in rmap
[G1 Android Development] kadajawi:
I am pretty sure it is. But Google doesn't seem to care too much (otherwise they'd find a way to block Brut), and the map creators don't seem to notice or care (after all, how many are using Brut Google Maps? Though it reminds me of MP3 before Napster... hm).

And really, do they expect me to buy an expensive map for the few weeks that I'm abroad? If we could rent one, that might be different. But then again, I want to use Google Maps Navigation instead of some other software...
[G1 Android Development] stingerpl:
Why do you think it's legal?

If it was legal, Google would allow it worldwide.
[G1 Android Development] lchiu7:
I used the Brut mod until Navigation became available in my country. While the Brut mod is a good interim solution, the difference between that and the Google Navigation is pretty major. I have CoPilot Live that I purchased for the N1 but now I prefer to use Google Navigation.

As for its rollout across the globe. I don't think it's a matter of Google caring or not, it's their ability to gain access to and licence the data they need. I think there is a significant difference in the information they need for Maps versus Navigation - hence the slow rollout across the world. From what I understand, apart from the US, Maps is also now available in the UK, Australia and NZ and possibly elsewhere.
[G1 Android Development] Henrik_Nyberg:
Offline maps

Hello!

Love this app (need it for Sweden). But I'm going away on a trip to Thailand and would like to have navigation while I'm there. I will turn off data while I'm abroad due to quite high rates for download. I have seen applications here that utilize and is able to download maps for offline usage. But I'm looking for a site where you are able to download pre made maps for diffrent countries. Is this availbale?

I have tried both google search and the search on xda, but I guess my searching skills are not good enough.

Kind regards

Henrik

[Q] Problem with Maps-Navigation (BRUT)

Hi to everyone!!!

Well thanks to the guys from XDA, For the Maps Brut

Well this is my problem:

Im outside from the US, im in Venezuela, and I have installed Maps-Brut in my Samsung Galaxy S (The phone is from france), everything is going ok! But when i want to see how to navigate to a point in the map, The Navigator App get stuck trying to give me a route in car, footstep or Bus.

Even with the GPS working the Navigator doesnt give me a Route for my destination, The Navigator BRUT app get stuck with the pop up message OBTENIENDO RUTA (CALCULATING ROUTE) i can see in the font of the app how the map move and move and move but it never shows me the route, i always have that pop up message in the screen!!!

Even when I try to configurate the Software in the Opcion BRUT MODE, my screet get stucked in a black screen and then a Force detencion appears!

I dont know what to do! I have been rooted my phone, deleted the original maps!!!

Im using Froyo and maps brut 4.6.0.4686 tagged!

I hope you understand my problem and sorry for my bad english!!!!

Brut mentions on the first post that the renamed and tagged versions have problems, you should use the first version which is not renamed or tagged. Or you could use the Ownhere version posted on page 235, that's the 5.1.0 version.
[G1 Android Development] Andreas75k:
Thanks! I managed to register by translating the forum to english with Google Chrome, now I can download any new version without extensive searching like last time! :)
[G1 Android Development] Anakha56:
I was wondering if someone could please give me a brief explanation for creating maps using Mobile Atlas Creator. My problem comes in when it asks me to select zoom levels and I have no idea what the default one is that gets used for normal Navigation. So my question is, what zoom level should I use for normal navigation?
[G1 Android Development] xavierdylan:
great work ownhere. do you know if its possible to install any of the 5.1 maps on an unrooted phone?
[G1 Android Development] itandy:
Normally zoom level 1 to 18 is detailed enough for driving. Names of small street can be seen too. But of course, you can always try including 19 or even 20 but the file size would increase exponentially.
[G1 Android Development] Anakha56:
Thank you itandy :). Doing the whole of South Africa then would not be feasible then, way to big to download/prepare :p. Will try the 1 through to 18 zoom levels for just my province later on in the day. Again thanks for the help :).

versionCode + brutRev

How do this updater work? I thought you maintain some meta file, which is accessible on constant URL, but if this look for updates automatically, then... it scans forum or what? :-)
[G1 Android Development] canadiancow:
At the moment it's just hard coded into the app to check if brut6 is installed, because I wanted to get a release out.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do in the future. The problem with checking something online is that I need to add the internet permission. I don't like adding permission unnecessarily, even though the majority of users won't care.

I suppose if I just keep releasing a new version every time there's a new mod, it wouldn't be the end of the world. It will force me to get other changes out there (I've got a few sitting in the pipeline right now).

Do you leave the versionCode at whatever Google set it?
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
Of course yes. This wouldn't be a good idea to change it :-)
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
And my assumption was that versionCode + mod revision must uniquely identify an app, but... maybe you are right, this unnecessarily complicates versioning scheme and I don't plan to release something like maps4.1.0-brut4, so... ok, screw this versionCode, mod revision will be unique from now.

Sorry for that, I change my decisions like a woman ;-)

EDIT:

I'm testing your patience ;-P
[G1 Android Development] OS299:
Have you already released a version for rooted devices?
[G1 Android Development] canadiancow:
So...I'm confused now. This is brut6, the next will be brut7, then brut8, etc?

Luckily I was too lazy to make any changes yet :p
[G1 Android Development] canadiancow:
There's only one version since r5.
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
Do you mean version with original package name?

In the meantime it turned out that "alt" is somewhat buggish, but maintaining two versions of an app really complicates everyone's life.

Yes :-)
[G1 Android Development] canadiancow:
That means the updater won't work until your next release :p

It also means that I've lost my motivation to push out 2.2.4 today.
[G1 Android Development] OS299:
@Brut a version which I can build in in /system/app or is this also possible with your normal version?

Samsung i5700 Galaxy Spica GPS Problems

There is no GPS connection in navigation mode only with my Android 2.1 Samsung Galaxy Spica (i5700).

Any solution or is this phone simply not supported?

Thx in advance
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
I don't know exactly.

There are 2 checks for Froyo. First is in GmmListView.onTouchModeChanged() method. After decompiling it would look something like:

public onTouchModeChanged(boolean isInTouchMode) {
if (this.c && ! isFroyo()) {
this.c = false;
} else {
super.onTouchModeChanged(isInTouchMode);
}
}

this.c is set to false in constructor and to true on every call to setSelectionFromTop() method. So if I did not mistake, it is:

But I am not app developer, so I don't know, what it does in practice.

Second one is in some unnamed (obfuscated) method:

Cursor cursor = isFroyo() ? null :
ctx->getContentResolver()->query(
Uri.parse("content://settings/gservices"),
new String[]{"name", "value"},
"name=?",
new String[]{p1},
null
);

and then there is some processing with this cursor (skipped on Froyo). Whole method has ~130 lines of smali code and I'm not so bored to decode it just for curiosity ;-)

[G1 Android Development] j3yps:
Same question :-)
[G1 Android Development] k3vink3vin:
From what I understand from ownhere's thread on gfan,

Upgradable means it is using the same key as the official Maps.apk, meaning it will be upgradable through Market when there's a newer Maps released by Google, but you will lose the worldwide navigation ability after the upgrade. It has to be pushed to /system/app for it to work.

Resign means it is signed with a test key, which is different from the official Maps.apk, so it is not upgradable through Market. It works in both /system/app and /data/app, but you still need to uninstall the official Maps.apk first.

Other than that they function in the same way.
