MC Navi 0.2.10 released

[Mike Crash]

Hi all,

I have released new version of MC Navi. It should be (more) stable now (hope) and have some improvements:
- added support for orchards
- draw cycle and tourist ways (for cycle and foot)
- added GPS menu with satellites
- draw the street names

More info here:
http://www.gps-routes.info/index.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=1

This version needs new map, download at:
http://www.gps-routes.info/index.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=3
If marked with (old/uncompatible - do not use), do not download it, it is old version. I will regenerate it in some days.

Nice.. Looking forward to it.. :)

Do you think it would be possible to have a Germany map there, too?
I tried creating/converting a map the other day, but that was no good..
:P :(

Hi Mike,

sounds cool... installed Debian package from your repository, and
downloaded belgium map just for a try:

$> mcnavi belgium-map-12022010.mcm          
Cannot open map

strace shows:

open("/usr/share/mcnavi/maps/map.mcm", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

and quick grepping confirms that path is compiled in:

$> dpkg -L mcnavi | xargs grep map.mcm
Binary file /usr/bin/mcnavi matches

I don't know, Germany is huge, so I have not even tried  to convert it. But it would be possible to convert smaller area. As I finish some functionality I need, the next step will be optimizing map conversion. My goal is to convert the whole Europe in one map if possible.

is it possible to add more detail to your map conversion instructions?  I
have tried several times to do a conversion for portions of the USA without
success.

I believe the problems I've had relate to the difference between .osm and
administrative.osm files.  

Thank you!

All is here:
http://www.gps-routes.info/index.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=1

If you have problems with boundary data, download boundary OSM file from Cloudmate at
http://downloads.cloudmade.com
e.g.
http://downloads.cloudmade.com/north_america/united_states/washington/washington.osm.administrative.bz2

I have not tried for US, there are only boundaries for states (e.g. Washington), not the whole country, it may not have complete (closed polygon) boundaries. Also you should skip the boundaries step, but this may omit the addresses.

I will do some experiments with USA and Germany in the (near) future. The development is not over, 0.2.11 is out with itinerary...

If you do experiment with USA, here's a request for California.

I just did the following:
Downloaded: california.osm.administrative.bz2, california.osm.bz2
Extracted: both using bunzip2

Ran: osm2mcmap -bt 0 -bo boundary.mcb california.osm.administrative
which created boundary.mcb without errors

Ran: osm2mcmap -bi boundary.mcb -mo map.mcm california.osm
which reports: Error opening file! Error parsing file california.osm
as before.

Is this the correct sequence?

Thanks!

Hi,

i have installed mcnavi during my holidays in past 2 weeks, downloaded
a map of cz from here
http://www.gps-routes.info/index.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=4
, mcnavi starts but no map is displayed... is this the new map format
already?

thank you

petr

Hello,

I did nearly the same thing for France and I had the same issue!
osm2mcmap -bt 0 -bo boundary.mcb france.osm.administrative
all good then
osm2mcmap -bi europe.administrative.mcb -mo map.mcm france.osm
=> Error opening file! Error parsing file france.osm   (which is about 12Go)

And a "cat france.osm" works, so it is not a permission issue.

So help is welcome too!

Hi
yes  have the same problem while trying to convert the France.
I am wondering if it is not a matter of size...france and germany does quite the same size.
I don't speak about europ.osm, i think your are to optimistic! :)
But yes please someone help us on this error
"Error opening file!"
And by the way it is not a matter of not being able to open the file because
"cat france.osm" works for me.

thanks!

Hi..

I was under the impression that we need the "continent" boundary so that
the map for the countries can be made..

I wonder if osm2mcmap needs the osm file in a special place.. or name..
but I also renamed europe to map (as that is used in the instructions on
the website) and it gave the same error..

You have 32bit system and you need to enable largefile support while building
osm2mcmap - add these defines while building:

CFLAGS=`getconf LFS_CFLAGS` ./configure
(usually expands to -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64)

This will help with opening the file - but still the conversion will fail (somewhere
around 7%) due to small address-space in 32bit mode (osm2mcmap loads the whole file
into memory...)


You can successfully convert smaller regions though - just download precomputed
boundary extract from http://www.gps-routes.info/index.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=3
and then use with "-bi" option. (Still won't work for germany.osm - it is too large
to fit into memory space)

  Vlado

Excellent pointer! thank you.. will have to look into those 64bit..
finally a reason to change! :D

Oh.. ic...  though, as I stated in the other mail.. I was under the
impression that we needed the "continent" boundary to do countries..?
does that mean we can use like germany boundary and do cities and areas?
