Maemo

Hi,

I've bought a N810 and I saw some checkins for maemo. What about a garage
project for gpsdrive to provide latest gpsdrive packages for the maemo
plattform?

Has someone already looked deeper int embedded mysql?

I played around a little bit with gpsdrive on maemo.
the basic stuff is working very well on my emulator, but some things are still
missing. I didn't try it on the real N810, because that would need debian
packaging, which is not easy to do...
it seems, that cmake 2.6 can create debian packages, but these are not "real"
debian packages afair.

a garage project to provide packages would be fine, but the source code should
stay in the sf svn.
would you like to maintain such a project?

mysql? why?
we use sqlite for storage of POI data, which should work fine on maemo.

It wouldn't make fun if it would be easy :) Well dpkg sucks ...

Definitely.

I would try to do this. Have you compiled it with mapnik support?

It looks like that embeddded mysql performs better than sqlite3. amarok
switched from sqlite3 to embedded mysql. I just wondered if someone looked at
it.

How are openstreetmap mapdata stored? I thought a mysql database is needed for
this. Has mapnik it's own format.

Cheers,

hmm, from a user pointer of view it works like a charm, I really like it.
but as developer/packager...

no. that would require mapnik and postgis, which wouldn't work on an N810 I
guess.

ok. we switched to sqlite, because it is very easy to install and use, and it
is portable. I really don't want to go back to mysql again, though I don't
know embedded mysql. maybe the sqlite people will fix this some day...

POI data is stored in sqlite.
the map data will be stored as bitmaps on N810; at least that is the current
plan.

mapnik uses postgres with postgis extensions.
the live rendering is sometimes very slow on my car pc, which is 3-4 times
faster than a N810, so I think this would not be usable.

data for routing will be stored separately, depending on the routing engine
that is used. but that's a very new topic for gpsdrive...

maybe the time has come to start this...

I had some time to play around and created packages for the n810, which are
available on the gpsdrive repository.
installation via application manager should work, unfortunately no menu entry
for gpsdrive is created yet, so you have to start it from the command line.
all the basic things seem to work, but not everything has been tested so far.
there is a lot of space for optimization, though.

remember, these packages are highly experimental, so no complaints please ;-)

The sources.list entries should show up soon at:

or, for people using the application manager, add a new catalogue in the
application manager options:

name: GpsDrive
address: http://www.gpsdrive.de/maemo
distribution:
components: main
