#123

that you have to uninstall. its old version from openrepos, I think

#124

Greatā€¦ Thank you @rinigus . I am able to install the Pure Mapsā€¦
Now I am not able to use it, i am getting following error, ā€œError occurred while loading current mapā€ and in navigation, i am not getting current location.

I have installed OSM Scout and i have downloaded USA map from MLS manager. And i have MapTiler API Key.

Could you please suggestā€¦ Thank you very much for your assistance.

Did you mean ā€œOSM Scout Serverā€? I suggest that you check that that one is installed. ā€œOSM Scoutā€ is a different application that wonā€™t help you with PureMaps.

Just a quick note in case anyone else runs into the same issue: I had a couple of custom maps [1] defined under ~/.local/share/harbour-pure-maps/maps/ that stopped working after upgrading from the openrepos version to the Chum version. Turns out it didnā€™t have anything to do with the version upgrade, but to the app name change instead. So simply copying the map definitions under ~/.local/share/io.github.rinigus/PureMaps/maps/ fixed the issue :man_facepalming:

Also, Iā€™m, going to use this opportunity to say a huge thanks for the awesome app!

[1] Finnish peruskartta via the Kapsi service like so in case anyone is interested:

~/.local/share/io.github.rinigus/PureMaps/maps/kapsi_peruskartta.json

So, here are some API ā€œpain pointsā€ with Jolla Store that popped up right now:

  • No systemd services/activation. That basically disables OSM Scout Server support. Probably few others could use it - messaging apps, for example.

  • We donā€™t have any TTS service. So, if I wish to start executable for making prompts, I cannot do that in Sailjail environment. But, in general, lack of TTS support on the platform.

  • I am not sure if we could communicate with other apps via DBus. Canā€™t right now find it in the code, but it seems so based on the warning that I wrote earlier. Pure Maps does provide its DBus API for others and is using OSM Scout Server API for map matching.

There are probably more, but those I can see are disabled in Pure Maps code for Jolla Store or are warned about.

@rinigus / @pakman , do i still need MLS Manager? Or can i remove that?
Having that will help pure maps in any way ? Or its just redundant and i can remove?

#132

You donā€™t need MLS but it helps to get GPS fix (position) faster. As far as Pure Maps is concerned it has nothing in running Pure maps alone.
