I copied 68MB (380MB on disk) of andnav map tiles to phone. Total of files is about 94000. It took very long time, aproximately 50 minutes. And the size on sdcard is 2.68GB, unbelivable.

I have used RMaps with sqlitedb and I think it is better altas format. What format are you going to use in next Brut17 ?

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] Dragooon123:
Thanks a ton for this, this gives me some hope of having voice navigation for free in India. A Q, is it possible to change the app's name, internal name and icon to the original map's app? If so how? I tried searching but all I found were hacks for modifying other apps, which I'd like to avoid.
[G1 Android Development] vejbymats:
Hi, this is from the very first post:

Q: Could you change an icon, app name, etc. to something else/revert to original?

A: These "BRUT" tags aren't there for credits, but because people requested some way to distinguish original and modded maps. Tags may be not necessary or even annoying for you, but I can't please everyone.

I don't like forcing people to use some modifications - as you can see, nearly all my mods are customizable from mod menu, so if you disable all of them, you will have virtually original maps. Unfortunately some things can't be customized at runtime, but at build time only, so I have to make decision and I always try to choose, what most of people want. I won't release several versions of my mod with different customizations, won't create GM kitchen or something like that.

You could always use apktool to customize GM for you - using it it's really easy thing to change an icon or app name.
[G1 Android Development] Dragooon123:
Ehm....sorry :(. Completely missed it. I'll give it a shot :)
[G1 Android Development] vejbymats:
:)We have all done it...:p
[G1 Android Development] [deXter]:
It's already been done. :)

Search for Brut maps stockified.
[G1 Android Development] Dragooon123:
Yes I just found a stockified version and that too on Desire's board :D, thanks Brut for this awesome mod!

There's 1 problem with RMaps/Big Planet Tracks sqlitedb format in the current version of Mobile Atlas Creator (1.8 beta 2). The program doesn't support zoom levels 18 and 19 which google maps supports.

I've highlighted this to the author and he says it'll be enabled in the next release.

Any signal of MR Brut?
[G1 Android Development] vincentfarran:
Upgraded to 2.2.1. What a nightmare! The upgrade broke your fantastic appmod.

I'm in China. After the "Choose Destination" screen, it always prompts "No route found, navigation to your destination is not available."
[G1 Android Development] cocchiararo:
yet another update to the stock maps :P

good thing none of the last updates work in Argentina XD
[G1 Android Development] karmatt:
Nav still works for me in Sweden with 2.2.1
[G1 Android Development] BolecDST:
Can't install it on my G1. Actually running newest cyanogen. I have ext4, apps2sd, 96mb swap, death spl, newest radio (don't know what else should I post to help you find out what's goind on). When I open via Astro and want to install it detects original maps and gives me Launch/Uninstall icons. No upgrade or anything. Besides I tried deleting original maps via adb, but cannot do this. Says "xxx : not found" whatever command I type...
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
Which version of my mod have you downloaded? brut4-alt and brut6 should not be detected as original maps.

And about "xxx : not found": do you have adb installed?
[G1 Android Development] BolecDST:
Latest one, v6. About the adb - I think so. After typing "abd shell" cmd says "deamon started successfully" or something like that and I get the "#" sign.
[G1 Android Development] 5m00v3r:
test session goes on and on and on ^^

maps4.0.0-brut6.apk

rev6

navigation via Nav Launcher - AGAIN thank you so much canadiancow!! your settings thing is really intelligent btw i´d like to habe 2 buttons more, one for WORK and one for HOME :-)

navigation via launcher link - navigation via launcher link - WORKS

navigation via maps intern search by route and kontakt - WORKS

so for me v6 works really nice! i´m currently on Complete Eclair 2.1

are you shure you are testing the installation of maps4.0.0-brut6.apk? cause this has an other packetname and can be installed without any problems besides the original maps on all roms i´ve tested
[G1 Android Development] BolecDST:
Uh gosh. Sorry, I failed. On my G1 I have v4, I was sure that I switched it with the downloaded v6, but v6 is still on my desktop. Gonna check the newest one. Sorry.

edit: yeah the newest one works.
[G1 Android Development] canadiancow:
I don't think it will be possible for 1.5, but Rogers is supposedly going to be releasing a 2.1 update sometime.

That's what the Favorites feature is there for :P
[G1 Android Development] canadiancow:
Brut.all, your apktool is really nice, but holy crap this obfuscated code is difficult to work with. I'm trying to get rid of the "Unnamed road" at the top. And...I can "get rid of it" (that is, I can make it disappear), but following the trail of function calls to things like "d.a(a, b, c) is confusing as hell.

I'm sure you've deciphered what some methods/classes are. Have you considered renaming them in your own modified version? Or do you think that would make applying patches to new versions way too difficult?
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
I don't want to go mad cause of all these ab.c.D: I'm waiting for second milestone of apktool - smali dev improvements :-)

Best hints come from references to Android framework, because they can't be obfuscated. It's useful to look at superclasses to know that analyzed class is for example a Dialog. Or if you want to find a place, where some button is disabled, then there must be "setEnabled" somewhere.

It is much easier to add new classes with your code and just call them, than editing 3rd party code.

There is a really, really useful helper method Brut.Static.log(). You could write "invoke-static {v0}, Lbrut/Static;->log(Ljava/lang/Object;)V" anywhere in the code and you will have object dump (using toString() ) in a logcat.
[G1 Android Development] canadiancow:
Sounds good. I'm heading out right now, but I may look at that when I get back.

Edit: Ugh...I think I'm going to wait until you make apktool even more awesome. I'm remember why I stopped trying to help in the first place...

I'm confused, should Nav Launcher work from Car Home when you press Navigation (because it just shows directions from Google Maps when I press it) :confused:
[G1 Android Development] canadiancow:
Nav Launcher has nothing to do with Car Home.

That's what I feared. Thanks for the reply though.

I installed on Sunday, and used it to travel 170 miles to N. Wales. Worked like a charm apart from the voice instructions - which didn't bother me at all

Cheers :D

I changed some things in woSaa's brut google maps installer so it will install the rev6 version.

I couldn't test it because I already had the rev6 version installed. If it doesn't work just PM me.

Just unzip all the files into one folder and run the .bat file

All credits go to woSaa.

If it shows unnamed road would it cause navigation not to give boice navigation? when i start navigation, it says something (i've only tested it once so haven't caught exactly what it says).
[G1 Android Development] robbiekhan:
It's random, sometimes voice will say take x exit after x distance for example most other times nothing.

I've decided not to bother with Google Nav anyway as the robotic voice is too hard to understand while driving at times and instead have adopted Sygic Mobile Maps 8 as my satnav - it really is the very best in terms of voice guidance quality and clarity and sounds almost too human in speak pattern, tone and timing between words.

The navigation map aspect is also very good and accurate.

I'd highly recommend it - although it's not free it's considerably cheaper than standalone satnavs and offers more than Google maps navigation and no data connection is required.

Brut Maps will still be used, I love MT and Google maps itself but it won't be used for Navigation for me, only brief directions and walking stuff etc.
[G1 Android Development] jongi:
oh so it is a common issue. sygic doesn't cover south africa unfortunately.
[G1 Android Development] chicofiebru:
Hello, did brut still working on this app? no signal of any recent post :-( 2 update since the last brut
[G1 Android Development] henriquesp:
Guys,

Google has recently announced Street View for a couple of new locations, including Brazil.

http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/explore-world-with-street-view-now-on.html

Since we don't have oficial Navi here, and I had never used Street View before, I have a question: will brut maps navigation work with Street View for Brazil seemlessly, or it still needs some updates for that? Or it isn't intended for that at all?

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] canadiancow:
4.5.1 has two new features that I've noticed for nav, that I find useful.

First, as soon as you start navigating, you get a new little popup that stays for a few seconds that gives pertinent information (it tells you you're driving or walking, it gives you the distance to the destination, the time to the destination, displays the address, and gives you a button to the route information screen). I know some of that was there before, but not all of it.

Also, when you're approaching your destination, the little box in the top right under the main green bar (the one that often says "then" and gives an arrow, for the turn after the next one) will say "on the right" (or left).

I haven't noticed anything else yet, but I think both of those are great additions.
[G1 Android Development] ggraja:
I am new out here and after searching the net was hopeful that I would finally be able to get voice navigation enabled on my Samsung Galaxy S on Froyo which is on XXJPK ROM.

I am from india and installed brut maps for the first time today after seeing so many people raving about it.

I get the same message as the one stated in this post.

After the "Choose Destination" screen, it always prompts "No route found, navigation to your destination is not available."

However, when I search for directions to the same location, I get directions. If there was no route I fail to understand how I am able to get directions?

Is there a fix? do I uninstall and wait for the next version?
[G1 Android Development] [deXter]:
Did you uninstall the original Google Maps app first?

mobile atlas creator

Hi, i am a new user and i think tha brut google maps are wonderfull....

I am trying to create with "mobile atlas creator maps" for offline navigate but i have problem...

I create the map in AndDav atlas format (i have chosen 5 zoom levels, 15-19, - i don' know if that could be problem)... The programme downloads the maps and creates a folder with a name that i have write in the programme before... In that folder there are the folders with the zoom levels (15,16.....) Each folder of them has other folders with name such as 9145 etc and each folder of these has files with name like 6231.png.andnav.

(I wonder if could be an other type of file which would explain in the brut maps in which area corresponded the images. Isn' nessasary that file? I can't fild that)

My questions is where I will copy the folder with the zoom leves in sdCard of my phone?

Have I to do other activities to work the app with my maps of mobile atlas creator?

I am using an HTC wildfire, android 2.1....

P.S. I have enavble in brut maps the caching

Thanks a lot for any help.... I am trying that a lot hours and I can't fild a tutorial fot that...
[G1 Android Development] ggraja:
No I did not uninstall the original Google Maps app first.

Now there seems to be another twist to the tale, there is a new update for google maps availaible in the market. Do I update? Do I first uninstall Brut maps using the method described on the first page of this thread and then update google maps? or do I just junk everything. reset my phone to factory defaults and live with google maps, because the one thing that I was hoping to acheive - namely voice navigation using this apk does'nt work.
[G1 Android Development] brenopoubel:
Hello everybody.

I can not understand how the Brut works correctly.

In the United States I bought a Evo4 navigation works normally and all original. Well, I changed the language of the system to Portuguese.

So the voice navigation is all done in Portuguese.

Now here in Brazil must use the Brut Maps, even with the system in the Portuguese navigation is done in English. Does anyone have any idea why this happens and is there any way to solve this problem?
[G1 Android Development] henriquesp:
I guess that this is because brut masks the locale as "en_us", in order to enable navigation. So even if you have locale as "pt_br" in the system, if you have this flag in bruts maps, the app will understand you're in US and use english as language.

And if you were to remove this flag, you'd just get the same error msg from standard navi "navigation is not available for your location" or whatever.

I'm just guessing though.
[G1 Android Development] henriquesp:
Google has updated the Car Home app!!!

http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2010/10/car-home-for-android-gets-personal.html

It's now possible for us to customize and add, for example, Maps brut icon there. :D

I'll test later today.

Multiple Entries in the Applications list

Hey guys...Im so impressed by the New Mod of Brut.All...fantastic...

so many fixes...It now actually tells me the road labels on top of the navigation and everything...something funny though is the fact that it calls Round Abouts (its what we call them in Australia), Traffic Circles...pissed myself laughing...

only issue that I've found is that When im in my Applications list in the Settings or Uninstaller Pro, i've got 5 different entries for Google Maps Original and Google Maps Brut..they all look exactly the same with the same name and size...i'm not too sure why...please tell me it's not actually using 5 times the amount of space and its a simple error...

has anyone else got this...

cheers

Love this MOD...also

can I please get the XMod activated please..

If you had that before, then it was a custom layer you added, and has nothing to do with Google or Brut.

[G1 Android Development] sapo916:
Is there anyway to reload a specific map tile? I have a persistent map tile that is shifted and its obvious because the text is not aligned anymore. I deleted the brut folder on my sd card and cleared the cache for the app to fix the issue. Anyway downloadable maps for a certain area would be an adequate fix.
[G1 Android Development] prongs_386:
Hi there,

I have a htc desire on froyo and I've installed the app and everything works fine except for one thing, if I have music playing and the navigation volume is not 0 then when the directions are read the music is paused but the music is not unpaused when the directions have finished.

Sorry if this has been posted before.. I couldn't find it when searching.

"getting driving directions"

Hi peeps!

I have an issue that involves "no route found" in brut's map and "getting driving directions" problems in brut's Navigation app that I need to share, but before that, let me outline the steps I have already done before I considered asking this somewhat noobish question:

> used my google-fu to the fullest extent of my capabilities, searching for nearly all possible word combination of my problem

> read the pages on this thread (the most relevant one for my questions) from page 161 to 144, and page 1 to 10 (it takes time to read... so I'm asking my question now while I continue on my journey over all 161 pages hehe)

> re-installed brut16, uninstalled and tried Brut15, encountering the same problems with both

> discovered that while these issues have happened before, neither have received a satisfactory answer..

> I tried one forumer's suggestion of turning on navigation, pressing back and turning it on again, to no avail.

I hope a knowledgeable forum-member can assist me.. as stated above, I cannot use either app properly, as "no route found" and "getting driving directions" keep popping up, and does not go away.

Other details: in the Navigation app, I can actually see the streets, complete with street names being loaded quite quickly, and the cursor representing My Location inching along, but the "getting driving directions" stays smack - dab at the center. A voice prompt saying "data connection lost" also plays after a few minutes, although I made triple - sure that I had a good data connection (HSDPA / 3G. Also tested with Wi-Fi at home - same results).

Essential Details:

> Galaxy S International version

> Located in the Philippines

> Baseband Ver. I9000XXJP3

> Kernel Ver. 2.6.29 root@ SE-S604 #2 (rooted care of OCLF)

> running Eclair

> GPS Test is consistent, 7 to 9 sattelites seen, 7-8 used.

> GPS location not a problem, quite fast and accurate.

> stock GM does not work, as expected - I think no support for our region yet.

> can't think of anything else to say

Apologies for the length of this post; I want to have as complete a set of details as possible, and not be labeled as a leecher who asks un-considered questions.

Thanks much for anyone who can help ^_^
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
@charlestio

Look into logcat. I guess there are plenty of errors thrown over and over again. GM behavior in case of navigation problems is really stupid and misleading :-)
[G1 Android Development] charlestio:
Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you

That's the bunch of thank yous I promised :p - that's for the quick reply and the obvious willingness to help

I'll be looking into how to record the logs, as my only previous experience with logcat was the Live wallpaper I downloaded, thinking it was some kind of "LoL"cat wallpaper with cute pictures of kittens in it...

Ah well, I'll be looking into this guide, so gimme some time to study, and then I'll be able to ask a proper, non-noob question hehe. :rolleyes:

[G1 Android Development] m16-maniac:
how do we get our brute google maps (map data)?

i hope its not from moving my finger over the lcd screen on my evo to the areas i want dloaded....

is there an app that lets you select an area (say the usa) and then i get to pick the zoom levels?

and it downloads it all then i transfer it to computer?

i used navicomputer on my TP2

what do we get to use with android?
[G1 Android Development] MasterCATZ:
AWSOME

YOU UNLOCKED NAV for Australia :P

Who cares about the lame Voice I just want Distance Counters :P

Any ETA on NAV Map Cache ?

Now unsure which to use Google Map with its cache or the NAV
[G1 Android Development] chris...:
yep, it works ok

I find the voice nav a bit crap as its all TTS
[G1 Android Development] m16-maniac:
why do people keep skipping what i am asking?

i want to know how you save map data itself?

how do you select an area like (USA) and then pick the zoom levels you want and then download it?

plane and simple?
[G1 Android Development] chris...:
I have no idea, I just use a cheap data plan and download it as needed
[G1 Android Development] DroidBois:
Because you are rudely demanding service from volunteers and hobbyists?

If you got a smart phone without a data plan then that's your problem. You should have thought of that before you got the phone.

Back on topic, yes it works... now I just need a car mount - any suggestions?? Does the job, can't beat free.
[G1 Android Development] chris...:
with enough flour and water you should be able to glue it to your windscreen

failing that i now use a generic phone holder, it has movable foam sides and quick a release mount
[G1 Android Development] DroidBois:
I'd prefer something a little more elegant, however I will keep your suggestion in mind.

How do you find the generic car mount to work in practice, ok?
[G1 Android Development] m16-maniac:
the whole purpose of this thread is offline maps?

isnt it?

im just asking:

what are you using to dload the maps?

that is really simple to answer i would think

i see over 160 pages and i have went through alot.

phone service is expensive for a smartphone.

over $70.00 a month for a cheap plan.

i am trying to use wifi to do almost everything.

i use skype

i have a wrt350n with dd-wrt on it and an autoconnect to open wifi script.

i just plug it into my cars cigarette lighter and it does everything else.

i then take my evo with me and it connects the wrt350n.

i can get wifi almost everywhere i go.

but if i go on highways or away from cities then you see my problem and many peoples problem that only have wifi.

is there an app that lets us dload google maps that brut google maps can read?

ps:

i am not demanding anything

i was asking why people keep skipping my question.
[G1 Android Development] vejbymats:
