Pure Maps is a full-featured map and navigation application allowing you to explore maps, search for addresses and points of interest, as well as assist with navigation. For that, it uses online or offline service providers.
Offline maps, search and routing is possible with OSM Scout Server. Pure Maps will list OSM Scout Server among the providers if you have it installed. For it work, you'll also need to have the server running and map data on your device. See the OSM Scout Server documentation for installation instructions and follow setup instructions for Poor Maps.
Note: Online maps users are requested to register their own Mapbox GL key and enter it through the preferences of the application. This will allow us to use default key for application testing and provide the service without hitting free tier limits. Reasoning behind the requst is explained at TMO post, see follow up messages on TMO pages for users feedback and small details on how to enable and test the personal key. Note that without significant number of users moving to the personal keys, Mapbox key will be revoked and the users of Mapbox tiles will not be able to access it.
Note, SFOS releases support: As starting from version 2.7.5 Pure Maps relies on QtPositioning 5.4, SFOS versions before 4.0 are not supported. Corresponding commits are 616c406a7efdb1fe9cfa841ff0bbc8250860afb0 and ed4290634753f1bdcf962de35f36e0f092249616.
NB! Updates are currently posted at Chum repositories and official Jolla Store only.
As of 23 Jan 2019, the public Mapbox access key has been revoked. Users are welcome to register their private key in the application.
Requirements:
Pure Maps is a fork of WhoGo Maps and continues its legacy. Reasons for forking described at corresponding post.

Hi Rinigus, I have just fixed it :) Now there are no exclamation marks in transifex, only green dots everywhere. I checked every bracket and now it looks good. Can you check again? :)

Okay, I know what incline means, but i am thinking about context with map navigation :D what exactly does it do if i select incline to highways? I need to know for translation :) on transifex i will look tomorrow :)

Incline would usually correspond to Valhalla's routing parameters as selection of a factor value 0.75. For example, "incline" of use of a ferry, would set use_ferry=0.75. Explanation of Valhalla's routing parameters is in their API (https://github.com/valhalla/valhalla/blob/master/docs/api/turn-by-turn/a...) , selection of a ferry in Pure Maps is at https://github.com/rinigus/pure-maps/blob/master/routers/ValhallaSetting...

Hi, change lanes assist, would it be acheivable? No need to be as fancy as botton pop up arrow box with the proper arrow/s highlighted for witch lanes is to follow. I remenber that on my old Garmin gps the change lane assist feature apear after an update, would simply auto zoom in the navigation map real cloose to see clearly where to turn and then would return to normal zoom level once the manouver complete and back on constant straith route.

There seem to be a Problem with the upcoming SailfishOS 3.0.3.x (cebta) Version.
Is it possible to do something here ?

It seems that Pure Maps lack support for OSM Scout Server (offline maps). Please, add this feature, because Internet connection is not always available. especially when you are far away and need navigation badly.

You have just to enable offline profile in the main menu. That will set osm scout server as default provider for map, search and navigation

This is not on sight, at least yet. But you could remind me of that once in a while. Problems are SDK support for such interaction and how to distinguish single click for switching on/off extra map controls VS click on POI. For that reason,we have press and hold for POI selection and, if reverse geocoding finds data, you'll get the data regarding POI as well. Although, its not pulled from Mapbox GL tiles but through additional service

Press and hold is fine, great to be able to access shown POIs in any way. I tried out, because reading the changelog, but did not succeed. Find out, press and hold POI only works in online or mixed mode, but not in offline mode, I'm running the app in. Is this a bug or a SDK limitation?
Great work anyway!

Long press should always create poi. After that, data is fetched. Its possible that offline database doesn't have it. Note that there are few technical issues with it. Location database has only central points, so it looks for those near your press and hold poi. It doesn't have data on shape and cannot check if poi is within some geometry. For that, different data is needed and maybe I can add it in future. But not that soon...

Thank you for reply. Yes I can see, that offline has different database then online. Some the same entry, but not exactly same place. That might be the reason why offline POI does not choose the POI neer the press and hold, even there are entries. On holiday, offline data can be very useful. Looking forward and you're development is much faster than on jolla side :-)

how to change lang on map (streets)?
rinigus
Tue, 2019/02/26 - 10:42

good question. That's not possible right now, except for OSM Scout Server maps where you have choice of local and English names. For Mapbox, it should be possible, but maybe there is a better way than generation of styles for each of the languages using https://docs.mapbox.com/help/troubleshooting/change-language/ . I'll check it out
