Puremap won’t launch due to Jolla restrictions (see screenshot). Attempt to use an Android app has failed (no localization even though the function is enabled).
If it’s not a bug, could you help me get the GPS operational?
Harware : jolla C2
OS : 5.0.0.43
I’m quite sure the crash on C2 is entirely unrelated to the store restrictions.
Also read the store comments…
Do you mean positioning?
The GPS module itself appears to work, even if it might not be plumbed into AAS (did not try).
Do you mean suggest a working map app?
Maybe OSM Scout. It’s a bit basic without the local server and whatnot, but i like it.
Yes, I’ve also tried OSM Scout with no more success than the others: no positioning (localization)
Yet localisation is activated
And the without network connection mode selected (uses the phone’s gps only)
You need OSM Scout Server not OSM Scout.
Check this, just in case:
PureMaps works nicely on C2 (it doesn’t crash anymore) if you set it to ‘offline’ mode and download OSM Scout Server in addition with the country region of your desire. I hope there will be a solution to use PureMaps online at some point but I believe it’s related to SFOS 5.0.x.x. GPS works well on my C2 even faster than on Xperia 10 III. Have you checked CSD tool and if there’s a chance of a hardware fault?
Have a look at this resource: https://sailfishos-chum.github.io/apps/harbour-osmscout-server/
I’ve tried to install Chum but I get an error message: repository update failed…
I then tried Storeman, but I can’t install Osm scout server because of a dependency problem:
I then tried to install Osm scout server by downloading it via the link given by @aspergerguy but without success:
I also tried to use the terminal, but without any success:
In Chum you need to set version 4.6 as Chum doesn’t have 5.0 yet.
Unfortunately, puremap, installed from Chum, still doesn’t work.
After launching the application, it is automatically minimised.
OSM Scout server installed from Chum, maps downloaded. However, there is an error (see screenshot)
following this message from @nephros, How to install Chum? - #9 by nephros , I tried the command but the packages are already installed :
I can second this … after starting Pure Maps it immediately goes in the background and you have no chance to set it to offline mode or whatever … is there maybe an other way to configure Pure Maps? Maybe with an config or ini file ?
On reading this message Pure Maps (Native map app) - #303 by explit, I launched Pure maps with the terminal. A number of dependencies (libraries) are missing:
Even if you get Pure Maps working (installing OSM Scout Server, downloading the map for your region / country, launching Pure Maps with your phone set to offline, etc.) at least in my experience, you still won’t have functioning GPS (not really related to the two). Just testing with GPSInfo never provides a location (lat / lng) in my experience.
It works for me. But first time (and sometimes later) it needs to download some satelite info and that can take time.
I have had it running for 5 minutes now, for a moment it found 2 satellites in view, dropped down to 1, at no point has any of them been in use. At no point has it gotten my lat/lng. Seems pretty busted to me.
Tried:
What settings do you have enabled under Location?
Must say, that sometimes it takse too long until first fix. And accuracy is not very good. Using OSM Scout navigation, it jumps between the streets on screen.
I this C2 bug, that we need to keep GPSInfo-app running to use other location needed apps (navi, camera etc)?
My GPS fix was ok, from time and accurancy point of view. What I have installed addfitionally is the MLS manager. Maybe it helps getting a quicker fix.
Greetings.
