At the moment I have no idea why it is hanging or crashing on some phones. It runs well on my HTC Wizard with WinMo 6.5 build 23053 and on HTC Diamond with WinMo 6.1. And it runs well on all emulators provided by microsoft's SDK for WinMo 6/6.5.

@the others:
I uploaded a new version, where I made the settings to use GPS or GSM locationing optional. If the application hangs you can edit the ommconfig.xml in the root "/" of your device as follows:
<gsm>1</gsm> means, that GSM will be used
<gsm></gsm> means, that GSM is deactivated
same applies to <gps>
By default the application starts with both disabled, if those settings are not defined.
Maybe this way we can narrow down the cause for hangs.

It seems that the uninstaller does not remove the \ommconfig.xml file and new versions do not overwrite a file that is leftover from a previous installation. When I went to try out the gsm and gps settings, this file was reporting my version as v1.0.3634.9654, apparently left over from an earlier installation.

After running the new version with the default settings the first time, it freezes after asking me for my Storage Card location. The next time, it freezes on the OMM splash screen. Previously it would at least get to the point of trying to download some of the tiles before freezing, necessitating a soft-reset.

Editing the ommconfig.xml file and trying all 4 combinations of gsm and gps settings made no difference, with OMM freezing on the splash screen each and every time.

:confused:

Could you try the attached Debug version and post the contents of the \ommdebug.txt file afterwards, please?

EDIT: Debug version updated...see later posts...

thanks for the feedback on the debug version.
I made an updated Debug version, which is close to be the next release version if it works correctly.
Please try this debug version and post your "/ommdebug.csv" files.
I hope I nailed the bugs, now.

when uninstalling is the application's default configuration for where to store files removed?
I mistakenly chose storage card and now cannot change it to internal storage.

the configuration file stays on the phone. so you have to delete it yourself if you want to set another place for saving the map.
this will be changed in the next release.

I have tried this one on my HD2 and now it working nicely, no freeze or unexpected programm stop like before.

Allthough the HD2 is connected to my laptop and has therefore Internet connection via the laptop OMM is still establishing a mobile network connection.

Another more basic comment:

- maybe could add a feature to limit the space on the storage card of give a warning when a certain level is reached

- off line mode: Add a warning (not a disturbing dialog), mabye just a "red light" that the requested tile is not located inside the cahce storage


Please find enclosed my log file

Great APP with a huge potential!

Best regards

ok, thanks for the debugging. it really seems, that i fixed the most annoying bugs. i released a new version on the first page.

@HD2 users: do you notice any difference in performance when dragging the map with controls on/off ? and how about with controls on and information on?
DrawAlpha seems to be quite slow on my devices. maybe I'll write an optimized routine to see if it helps to speed up the dragging with controls on.

Great, where / what file is it?

the file is in the root of your device: "\ommconfig.xml".
if you already downloaded and installed the latest release, then on first start this file is being moved to the application folder. just delete it there, so you can choose the storage folder again.

from now on, with every new release you will lose your settings, because the ommconfig.xml will be uninstalled as well.

i admit, it's a bit complicated. you don't need a gpx file, just proceed to the next tab and enter the min and max longitude, latitude values. but be careful -> this may result in a long download of many tiles....

yea, I finally figured it out.

too bad you couldnt just select a state or a city.

btw, how can I put the speed in MPH and not KPH?

    [size=+2]OpenMobileMaps v1.6[/size]

    [size=+1]--- NEWSFLASH ---
    Yes, finally I finished work on version 1.6! Go and get it! ;)
    Watch OpenMobileMaps running on HTC HD2
    and on my good old HTC Wizard !
    --- NEWSFLASH ---[/size]

    A development blog for OpenMobileMaps is located here: HERE!

    I wrote an application similar to GoogleMaps but it's relying on OpenStreetMap.org.
    It's finger friendly and showing the map on fullscreen.

    GPS support and GSM triangulation (if no GPS device is present) is built in.

    The downloaded map tiles are stored on your phone/storage and only new ones are downloaded.

    It's tested and working with all possible resolutions, with internal GPS and external GPS. And it should work on all Windows Mobile devices with .NET CF 3.5 installed.

    Tell me what you think of it and please find some bugs!

    If you like OpenMobileMaps and appreciate the hard work and time I spent on developing it then don't hesitate to [size=+1]DONATE![/size]
    Any amount of money keeps me motivated to further develop OpenMobileMaps!

    - extended maps.xml included
    
    v1.5.4067.39959 (Hotfix)
    - just a few bugfixes to prevent instabilities on certain phones

    v1.4.3811.31921 (Hotfix)
    - bug fixed in registration form:
      some email addresses were rejected as being invalid.

    - support for other map sources
      GUI added to select different map sources. The maps are save in osmcache/maps.xml.

    I know, it's been a long wait.
    I finally found some time to finalize version 1.5 of OpenMobileMaps!

    To all HD2 and HD mini owners: have fun with multitouch pinch-to-zoom!

    To all others: bookmarks and lots of improvements await you!

    Long time no see.

    DynDNS is shutting down free domain services and omm.mine.nu got a victim of it. This is why I had to release a hotfix version of OpenMobileMaps with a new webservice URL.

    I also included the extended maps.xml in this version. But it will be only generated on a fresh install (if no maps.xml exists).

    Have fun and thank you for all this support over the last years! This is a great community!

    Thanks for the reply
    I tried it and it works great
    I wonder if it exists in Spanish?
    how it works with GSM or GPRS, I have no GPS

    currently, there is no spanish translation. but, if you want to, you could make one. this way you don't need to donate anything to get a registered version.

    Very interesting. Are the screenshots updated? :)

    Now, the screenshots in the first post are updated and here are some more which didn't fit into the first post... ;)
