Pure Maps (Native map app)

Its currently using styles by OpenFreeMap directly. in principle those can be adjusted/tuned further. Ideally, through OpenFreeMap project

need to test this version, but in version prior to this, automatic day/night transition for maps wasn’t working anymore, despite being selected in options

just in case, any hint to make it work again?

make sure you map style is not forced for day or night (there is no small green dot next to map style)

thank you, now i turned off all the green dots, will have a try as soon as i can

Yay it installed right out of the box. Previous versions (for me) had mapbox-gl ? dependendancy problems.

Thanks !

Does the update to Pure Maps 3.4.0 require the latest version of SFOS?
I have SFOS 4.5 and there was no Chum updates from Pure Maps 3.3 (but it did found updates for MapLibre and Mapbox)

which 4.5 version do you have? we may reduce in chum number of repositories soon and Pure Maps is not currently compiled for all versions. See Show sailfishos:chum / pure-maps - SailfishOS Open Build Service - only ones marked “succeeded” have new Pure Maps

I have 4.5.0.21. Today I was able to find the update for my version.
Thanks!

As we had most of the libs compiled for .21 as well, I enabled other releases accordingly. So, it should be installable on all releases that it supports.

I’m having some issues where Pure Maps is getting randomly SIGKILLed by something, despite having plenty of free RAM available. It never happens during navigation itself, but navigating the preferences, or looking up addresses will often kill it.

I’ve checked with htop, and while it happens there’s always over 2GB of RAM free, so I’d imagine it’s not a low-memory kind of situation. I’m kind of puzzled on what’s going on.

Seems SFOS is also lacking auditctl. Any clues as to how to track this down?

I’m pretty sure that has to do with this, I’ve followed those tweaks and now only get applications to auto close if I have a lot of heavier applications running.

Well, I can’t find anything in dmesg regarding to either “memory” or “oom”, so unless the logger also got killed, I’m assuming it’s something else.

Also: There’s over 2GB of memory free - which is a lot - and even with the tuning it still happens.

Edit: Seems it’s actually this: Xperia X 10 II GPU heavily affected by GPS fix (Pure Maps and other GPS related apps)

Did someone try Pure Maps on the Jolla C2 yet? For me the latest version from Chum crashes after briefly showing up.

Same happens on mine. No time yet to investigate.

Does it still crash if you use ‘online’ profile and OpenTopoMaps?

How do I change the profile without starting the application?

Hm… I’d say: go offline and try until it works. Don’t scroll in the app until you changed mode and map provider.

Wow, thanks that worked. My C2 can ron Pure Maps now.

… at least in offline mode.

Thanks for the tip! Pure Maps works with OSM Scout Server without any trickery.

Mixed and Online modes crash - maybe because OSM Scout (default) is the only Map option (on the 10 III there are 12). Starting from command line there are nags about several missing libraries but most of them are in /system/lib64 - iggzackly like the 10 III.
