Included is a bunch of FOSS geo-software, and of course GpsDrive 2.10pre7 is there + Sydney CBD road map tile set. Besides the live-DVD is a live-Virtual Machine environment to try out. see http://download.osgeo.org/livedvd/ please help test! Bonus points if you can figure out how to connect Mapnik to the full pgRouting Sydney, and Medford, Oregon PostGIS databases which are also on-disk. Hamish pssst- we need to get 2.10pre7 into debian main! it would make this sort of thing a much much easier task. Squeeze-freeze is coming sooner than it seems.

Maybe the package "jpeg" hsa been updated from version 6 to version 7, so the .so-file that gpsdrive is linked against doesn't exist anymore. Either you could go back to jpeg version 6, have both versions installed at the same time or recompile gpsdrive so it links against the new version of jpeg.

Details on the gpsdrive wiki. "Setting up Mapnik" howto: http://gpsdrive.sf.net/wiki On the new OSGeo LiveDVD demo disc you will find a full PostGIS database with the full NSW (+Australia??) OpenStreetMap data dump. (try MapFish among others) http://download.osgeo.org/livedvd/ For GpsDrive on that disc I extracted tiles for the Sydney CBD, you can download that tileset here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gpsdrive/files/ To make those tiles I setup GpsDrive with the full AU and NZ osm data using the instructions found in the above wiki page, + the gpsdrive_mapnik_gentiles script. I think everything is on the LiveDVD to get Mapnik support working directly (ie data + built with support), but I'm not enough of a Postgres + OSM guru to figure out how to make the connection. Probably just a few database commands and quick edits to GpsDrive's osm.xml file, ...? If you are using the latest SVN source code (ie newer than 2.10pre7) & if you know your route you can manually download maps along the path with Option->Maps->Download in the menus (easy) or the gpsfetchmap script (hard but bulk). Mapnik is more work to set up, but once it is running the result is leaps and bounds better. You will of course be limited by how much folks have added to OSM, so it probably wouldn't hurt to download some of the LANDSAT maps via the Maps->Download menu.

I am impressed with Ubuntu. I have tried various Linux flavours over the years, and Ubuntu is the first system which I find easy to use. I recently bought a Bluetooth GPS receiver and used it with Navigator 8 on Windows. It worked straight away. I downloaded GPSdrive, and it doesn't recognise my GPS receiver. I think I know why after checking around the forums. The program uses gpsd, and is looking for a receiver via USB, which it cannot see. The answer I discover is to modify files in the Bluetooth directory. Now, I can probably do that, but in order to do so I am going to have to learn a bit about how Linux works because not only don't I know how to find the relevant files, I don't know how to get at the command line. I know all the Linux buffs will be sucking their teeth and dredging up their most sarcastic remarks, but it has been a long time since I had to alter a Windows program to get it to work. They just do, and if they don't there is always another one that will. I am too old (61) to learn how to tweak Ubuntu programs. GPSdrive looks like a good program. There is another Linux program on Ubuntu, TangoGPS, which also looks like a lot of fun to use with exactly the same problem. I realise that all of these programs are free and therefore it is pointless complaining and/or moaning about the efforts of people who are giving their skills and time for nothing, but if Linux and Open Source programs are going to eventually replace Microsoft (and I hope they do) they need to work for people like me who don't want to indulge in programming at however simple a level to get them started. After all, you don't expect to have to fiddle with your car's engine before you can drive it away. Or should you? Which is a very long way round asking if GPSdrive (or gpsd) could be amended to include Bluetooth GPS receivers. Please. Incidentally, it occurs to me that since GPS receivers know where they are, then if Navigation programs were 'turned around' people could use their GPS to draw maps rather than the other way around. And if we all did that, maps wouldn't go out of date. But perhaps that has already been thought of, and it's how maps get drawn. Sorry I mentioned it.

Please. > all devices supported by gpsd should be usable with GpsDrive. gpsd is using a serial connection to talk to the devices; usb receivers usually create such a virtual serial port automatically when they are connected, so most should work right out of the box. bluetooth devices use the same system, but they have to be "connected" with your system first to provide this serial port. I don't know the current state of ubuntu regarding bluetooth gpsd receivers, but in the past there had to be done some simple manual work to get it working. ubuntu has some nice sources for howtos, recipes and asking questions like that (like ubuntuforums.org or wiki.ubuntu.com). just use your favourite search engine and you may find what you need. > Incidentally, it occurs to me that since GPS receivers know where they > are, then if Navigation programs were 'turned around' people could use > their GPS to draw maps rather than the other way around.

There are some programs for drawing maps, but the focus of GpsDrive is USING maps rather than creating them; although it CAN be used to gather data for map creation... We try to keep GpsDrive as simple as possible but still providing some useful features - adding mapping functions would make it way more complex.

Maybe, maybe not. I expect someone associated with gpsd has already hit this problem, possibly with your receiver. So the gpsd web page and list may be your best bet. I'd start with the Compatible Hardware list, http://gpsd.berlios.de/hardware.html If you don't find something there, join the gpsd-users list and ask. Include the manufacturer and model number. > I know all the Linux buffs will be sucking their teeth and > dredging up their most sarcastic remarks, but it has been a long > time since I had to alter a Windows program to get it to work.

Feel free to ask them. However, don't give them the lecture on usability. You aren't the only person to deliver it. But it grates on the developers to hear it from someone who hasn't yet contributed. Many of us who have contributed have made the same point. Also, you can contribute. If there is no ready documentation on how to do what you want, then please make detailed notes as you go along. When you get it working, please write it up and contribute it back to the gpsd folks. They'll appreciate. And some developer might automate it, which will make it much easier for the next person. Having a Linux newbie write this up will help future Linux newbies because you'll include details we old hands will ignore because "everybody knows that". So please do it if necessary. Who knows, you might decide you like it, and you can do it again tomorrow. > > Incidentally, it occurs to me that since GPS receivers know where they > are, then if Navigation programs were 'turned around' people could use > their GPS to draw maps rather than the other way around.

As other posters have said, gpsd is responsible for connecting to your GPS, and then all programs which need to access it (such as gpsdrive) can just connect to gpsd. The way bluetooth GPS receivers generally work is that they show up as a bluetooth serial port. The first step, then, is to connect to this. Assuming your bluetooth adapter is working properly, you should be able to run $ hcitool inq to scan for all available bluetooth devices. From this copy the MAC address of your GPS receiver (a MAC address looks something like 01:23:45:67:89:ab), and run a command like this (substituting the correct MAC address): $ rfcomm connect 0 01:23:45:67:89:ab That will connect to your GPS receiver and call the serial port /dev/rfcomm0. You can then start gpsd on this serial port as usual: $ gpsd /dev/rfcomm0 And after all that, assuming there are no errors, start GPSdrive and it should connect to gpsd and get your fix. I agree that it would be nice if GPSdrive had a button to automatically detect bluetooth GPSes, connect to them and start gpsd. -- Andrew Walbran website: http://q.geek.nz/ blog: http://qwandor.wordpress.com/ From d.s.e at sordidmusic.com Wed Oct 21 13:20:48 2009 From: d.s.e at sordidmusic.com (Guenther Meyer) Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2009 21:20:48 -0000 Subject: [ gpsdrive ] bluetooth gps In-Reply-To: <177c8c850910211349h26d9a48ci87b3869ed1cc2e53@mail.gmail.com> References: <1256153162.3820.0.camel@ubuntu.ubuntu-domain> <177c8c850910211349h26d9a48ci87b3869ed1cc2e53@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <200910212321.14642.d.s.e@sordidmusic.com> Am Mittwoch 21 Oktober 2009 22:49:17 schrieb Andrew Walbran: > I agree that it would be nice if GPSdrive had a button to > automatically detect bluetooth GPSes, connect to them and start gpsd. > I think something like that would be better as separate application (maybe packaged with gpsd), so all applications using gps can benefit from that feature. a good example is the maemo platform: gpsdrive just connects to the gps service and the gps specific settings like internal/external gps, agps... are configured in the system preferences of the N810.

I see a file, gpsdrive-trunk/Documentation/ README.Bluetooth, which has a different procedure for doing this. I also see gpsdrive-trunk/scripts/gpsd-connect-bluetooth.sh, which looks promising. As I don't have any Bluetooth peripherals I can't comment on which, if any, is preferable. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?

Using the latest development version of GpsDrive on Ubuntu (Jaunty) the maps that I downloaded a few days ago do not seem to be recognised by GpsDrive. I have some clue as to why. The previous version complained about too many digits (or something) in the map_koord.txt file, but the current version does not. I've included a sample of my file in case someone can spot something obviously wrong. The maps in the nz/ directory work fine, those in the si12 do not. Any other suggestions? Have others been using that web site with no problems recently? Thanks in advance, John Sample of map_koord.txt: nz/map_080200.gif -43.56447159 169.51354980 1205937 nz/map_080201.gif -43.56447159 176.19323730 1205937 nz/map_080300.gif -47.31275872 169.51354980 1125880 nz/map_080301.gif -47.31275872 176.19323730 1125880 si12/map_0000.gif -40.63349613 166.21971130 81567 si12/map_0001.gif -40.63349613 166.63719177 81567 si12/map_0002.gif -40.63349613 167.05467224 81567 -- John Williams Professional Idiot -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Being a cmake illiterate, I went looking for a file called ccmake in the build. I didn't find it. But I did find in gpsdrive-trunk the file DefineOptions.cmake. I edited this line: option(WITH_SPEECH "Build with support of speech output" ON) to read: option(WITH_SPEECH "Build with support of speech output" OFF) and that seems compile. I still get the message "Speech Dispatcher not available, disabling speech output!" when firing up gpsdrive.

You can get an enhanced OpenStreetMap data file containing all the NZOGPS+LINZ data from the NZOGPS google groups mailing list. (sorry I don't have the exact link on hand, you have to download .osm files per regional council from a OSM devel server then add it to the PostGIS db with the append flag) the results are no less than spectacular. I tried that site about 1 month ago (and cleaned up those instructions while I was at it), ISTR it worked but I didn't test much at all.

The reason why this one is in a lake is its the Bryant Lake Seaplane Base, see here on osm: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=44.8852&lon=-93.4879&zoom=12&layers=B000FTF So your perceived problem is with osm as T at H is generated by osm and has nothing to do with gpsdrive other than using the maps downloaded from there.

If they are downloaded T at H then the problem is probably with the scaling (for want of a better word) index in map_koord.txt and someone here who is more familiar with that part of the source should have a look at it or maybe you should log a bug on the sourceforge page. I'd suggest you try it with a local mapnik installation and see if they are still off, I have no issues with this method of display from gpsdrive but all methods of raster maps show some irregularities when overlayed with poi's. All cases are because of the scaling index in map_koord.txt Every raster map will show slightly differently, I'd also suggest that it's very hard to compare the two when you are using two different maps. Does 2.09 show the same offset when loaded with the maps you have in 2.10? Does 2.10 show the same offset when at the same scale as 2.09 or vv? At the moment you are comparing apples with oranges. -- Cheers Ross From hamish_b at yahoo.com Fri Oct 30 21:18:10 2009 From: hamish_b at yahoo.com (Hamish) Date: Sat, 31 Oct 2009 05:18:10 -0000 Subject: [ gpsdrive ] v2.09 versus v2.10: coords off!
