Try a re-install of Pure Maps using Chum

I have installed and it is working ,,, only in English with Poor Maps. German is not working (Test in Poor Maps).

Right now there is no text-to-speech support for aarch64 available ... not in the Jolla Store not in Openrepository.

aarch64 version published

Thank you!

Was waiting for OBS. Let's see if it compiles OK locally using TBuilder

robthebold's picture

Is an aarch64 build in the future? I'd really appreciate that, since the 64-bit Sea Witch has stolen PureMaps' voice . . .

Thanks!

Thanks for your quick reply. At least I know it's not something I've done. I'll wait in hope it will be resolved.

I keep getting an error, "nothing provides libicuuc.so.63 needed by mimic 1.2.0.3-1.9.1.jolla.armv7hl" when I try to install mimic.

I'm running Sailfish 3.4.0.22 on an Xperia XA.

ICU was updated in 3.4.x and that has hit multiple applications, including mimic. When OBS target will appear, I can recompile it for 3.4.x and upload. Just would have to remember it

I wonder if in cases like this on SFOS we shouldn't package the file as binary in /home/nemo/.local and only a symlink in /usr/bin? This is 90mb drop onto a very limited system partition

rinigus's picture

Maybe. For now, you could move mimic binary to your home and make symlink.

szopin's picture

Yeah, I did, pure maps still working just fine and 25% more free space where it counts the most (it's weird jolla didn't think of something like that, I believe n900 had mandated /opt/ + symlink policy, or at least it seemed like most apps were setup like that), just in this one case, this thing's huge, thanks!

Please list the supported languages in the description. It would help people who are looking to get voice navigation working.

List added, thank you for pointing it out
