Pure Maps (Native map app)

rinigus · 30 August 2023 18:48

You can use env variable NEMO_RESOURCE_CLASS_OVERRIDE and set it to some better value than navigator (that one is set in Pure Maps). Looks like if you set it to player, it may play as regular BT player.

See the following commit for details:

Implement more full resource policy features.

* Handle released by manager properly. Signal resourcesReleasedByManager is dif…ferent from signal handleResourcesLost and needs to be handled separately. Signal handleResourcesLost means some other client has acquired the resources, thus the resources are lost from us, but if the other client frees the resources, we will automatically get the resources back. With resourcesReleasedByManager we lose the resources, and resource manager releases them as well (same as if client would call release()), so only way to re-acquire resources in latter case is calling acquire() again. This distinction is useful for example in cases where user is listening to music with headphones connected and removes the headphones, then the music player shouldn't continue playback until user requests so. But if user is listening to music when phone call is received, it is convenient to resume the playback automatically after the call. * Implement availability changed. Availability changed is information whether resources the client is interested in are available (no higher priority resource classes have acquired the resources). * Implement missing resources released. Emit resourcesReleased signal when receiving corresponding signal from libresource-qt. * Add mechanism to change used resource class. Check for environment for special variable, and if the variable has proper data, use that as the resource class. Can be set with for example qputenv("NEMO_RESOURCE_CLASS_OVERRIDE", "game"); Change-Id: I8e92f40cc5c01b6b94f54c3fa0f7a07775e87df0 Done-with: Juho Hämäläinen <juho.hamalainen@tieto.com> Reviewed-by: Andrew den Exter <andrew.den.exter@qinetic.com.au>

Thanks for this hint, rinigus. I will try this.

Well, setting the env var with “export NEMO_RESOURCE_CLASS_OVERRIDE=player” (in terminal) didn’t help. PM sounds still played via internal speaker instead of bluetooth device…

rinigus · 20 September 2023 16:12

Just to be sure - did you start Pure Maps from the same terminal shell?

bgk · 20 September 2023 20:24

Oops, no (I thought, env vars would work system-wide and started PM via launcher as usual).

When starting PM from terminal too, there’s a first success: audio plays via bluetooth!

But: If audio player was started before, it stops when PM plays route announcements and woh’t start again (as it did some time ago before the bug). If there’s a chance to get this behaviour back, this would be great…

Re audio player: not Pure Maps bug. If I remember correctly, that NEMO_RESOURCE_CLASS_OVERRIDE was done to avoid it. Not much we can do on Pure Maps side.

I’m having some trouble getting Pure Maps to work with my freshly created HERE API key. It seems to mostly work, I see the map when I open PM (and it’s clearly a different map from when I used the offline profile with OSM Scout Server). Searching for addresses also works and the map tiles load fine for those.

But when I do navigation and then start it, it only shows the blue line from the navigation, but all the files fail to load with a “Failed to load tile 14/8404/5382=>14 for source raster: HTTP status code 403”. This line appears multiple times, with only the tile numbers changing a bit - I presume from trying to load all the tiles in view.

I have not set up billing information in my HERE account, because I’m worried about using too many requests and then being stuck with a bill, but from what I understand that shouldn’t be an issue here. I’ve only played around with it for a little bit now, I don’t assume I’ve already used more than then 1000 free requests.

Anybody experienced this as well? Any possible solutions for this?

There was some discussion about similar HTTP Error 403 problems in April of this year (2023). Maybe this Pure Maps (Native map app) - #177 by Werbaer post, and discussion previous to it, could help you sort this out?

martijntje · 9 October 2023 15:31

Well, this definitely looks like a step in the right direction. I had no idea that this was a separate “service” that needed to be “linked”. I did that, and then made sure that my app uses the “Starter Project” that I linked the services to (which wasn’t mentioned in that post).

Still doesn’t work, though. I’ll see if I can figure out why, since the live traffic is the only reason I want to try using HERE.

avhakola · 9 October 2023 19:30

This probably wasn’t the case when the Pure Maps had the HERE integration implemented, but to me it seems like HERE changed their APIs last spring and now you need to take extra steps.

rinigus · 10 October 2023 18:28

HERE may have changed API a bit. I will have to look into that soon as they started migration from one system to another. It may relate to that transition at HERE. Not sure when I get time for it, though.

Please add issue at Pure Maps with the description of what you did. That way it will be filed and in front of me when I get there

Hi guys, I am not sure if the question has even been raised, but is there a chance to render trekking/hicking trails (usually coloured ones) in pure maps. It is possible using osm scout but I found no way to make it possible with pure maps.

Thanks
Conrad

If you go to navigation, you can select change provider in the pulley menu and there you can select gpx

contra · 1 April 2024 12:34

I am not sure, but it seems to no not affect the rendering of the tracks itself. Only how the routing is realised. Or did I overlook something?

smatkovi · 1 April 2024 20:21

oh, yes i think colors are not represented in the rendering, but i don’t know i just tested it once

rinigus · 2 April 2024 18:58

I haven’t checked it for a while. Please open an issue and add corresponding screenshot

briest · 19 May 2024 12:57

Sorry for bothering, but is map data (offline, via OSM Scout Server) a bit long in the tooth (December 2023), or is something broken on my side? It’s quite noticeable here, as part of a trunk road nearby was closed back then and navigation still comes with now-impractical detours of the fragment.

Tried both update (no updates) and unsubscribe-clean-subscribe (same old data downloaded) approach, so I suppose that it’s not on my side, just wanted to be sure.
