  • V1.0.0 released

    Traveling Salesman - v1.0.0==========================Traveling Salesman is a navigation application for use on nettops and laptops forthe OpenStreetMap. It's focus is on clean, well documented code and modularityvia plugins.Download it: https://sourceforge.net/project/platformdownload.php?group_id=203597Start it via Java Webstart: http://travelingsales.sourceforge.net/ts-stable.jnlpChangelog: http://travelingsales.sourceforge.net/bugs/changelog_page.phpV1.0.0 is the first stable version that is feature-complete and bug-free enoughto be called 1.0.It is not "finished" as such a project never is. There are enhancements alreadypresent in the trunk-version that will become1.1 that are not yet part of 1.0(TMC-support, more translations, new database-backends, ...). There are also still issues to be looked at. Importing maps is very slow but fullyworking. But you have to do the cut and call it 1.0 at some point and for us thiscut was at 1.0.0-RC1.To try it out, you can use the 2 webstart-versions: http://travelingsales.sourceforge.net/ts-stable.jnlp and http://travelingsales.sourceforge.net/ts.jnlpa wizzard will guide you through the impor of your firstmap and configuration of the GPS-device.Marcus

  • delays and sourceforge-outage

    As OpenStreetMap is still in the process of the big API-upgrade from 0.5 to 0.6we could not yet release Traveling Salesman v1.0 (as we need 0.6 to test thatone final feature).This is not too inconvenient as Sourceforge happens to chose this day to havea system-wide issue with /home/sessions getting full and thus noone is ableto log into our ticketing-system (where we would have to set v1.0 to status"released").Marcus

  • Update on TMC-support

    Update: My new TMC-receiver arrived yesterday and I was able to work with the first real-world data.Some minor adjustements where needed:* GPS auto-detection did not list 57600bps so my tmc-gps was not found. I changed that.* gps-autodetection would not try to install rxtx before starting. I also changed that.* I inserted and debugged the support for GNC-type RDS-receivers. all tests before where conducted with Royaltec-type as we had no GNC-testdata. (now e have ;) )Both types of devices will work now.* isRXTXInstalled would return false if RXTX was installed not system-wide but with the loadLibrary-hack. That issue was corrected.* As the import of the TMC location-codes into the OpenStreetMap has not yet begun I added support for an "unknown location", so messages can be seen even if their location was not found in the map.Speaking of wich, the tool for the TMC-import is making great progress and I may be able to import the TMC-roads (as opposed to segments, points and areas) in a few days.Marcus

  • First TMC-support in Traveling Salesman

    Yes, we have it.The SVN-version of Traveling Salesman can now parse TMC-messages in Royaltek and GNC/GNC2-formatreceived from RDS-capable GPS-receivers, store them and show the user a list of all traffic obstructionscurrently in effect.This will not be a part of Version 1.0 as much remains to be done.Full TMC-support It is planned to a part of release 1.1 later this year.This depends on the [url=http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/TMC/TMC_Import_Germany]TMC-import into the OpenStreetMap[/url].All current tests are done with some locations being added to the map by hand and these locationsare the only one to currently work. It will take at least a few weeks to get all german locations into the OSM.Other countries may follow later.Currently TMC-messages are now shown in the map itself and are not yet used to affect routing.Parsing needs to extract much more information then just a text-message to do that....but we are on our way. :)Marcus
