====================== NaviPOWM ====================== NaviPOWM is planned to be car navigation system capable of running on a variety of operating systems. At the time, only OSM based map data is supported. Realtime routing engine is planned in a later version. Geocaching and city guide functionality are also planned. ====================== Compiling NaviPOWM ====================== NaviPOWM can be compiled under Windows (with or without Qt) and Linux (with Qt) ---------------------------------------------- Compiling under Windows using Visual Studio 6: ---------------------------------------------- 1. A workspace and project file can be found in directory build\windows\visualstudio6 2. Open workspace and compile. Qt is not needed. ------------------------------------------- Compiling under Windows using MinGW Studio: ------------------------------------------- 1. A workspace and project file can be found in directory build\mingw 2. Open workspace and compile. Qt is not needed. --------------------------------------------------- Compiling under Windows using MinGW Studio with Qt: --------------------------------------------------- 1. A workspace and project file can be found in directory build\mingw-qt 2. Make sure includes and libraries are accesible from MinGWStudio 3. Open workspace and compile. Qt (at least 4.3.2) is needed. ------------------------------------------------------------ Compiling for Windows Mobile using embedded Visual Studio 4: ------------------------------------------------------------ 1. A workspace and project file can be found in directory NaviPOWM\WindowsMobile\eVC4 2. Open workspace and compile. Qt is not needed. ------------------------------ Compiling under Linux with Qt and qmake: ------------------------------ 1. Go to directory build/qmake 2. run qmake 3. run make clean 4. run make ------------------------------ Compiling under Linux with Qt and CMake: ------------------------------ 1. Go to directory build/cmake 2. run cmake . 3. run make clean 4. run make ====================== Running NaviPOWM ====================== If NaviPOWM is not installed by a installer software, you have to ensure some directories are created manually and some file copied into them. When using an installer this steps are done automatically. -------------------- Directory structure: -------------------- Let's consider "your/path/to/NaviPOWM" as the directory you want NaviPOWM to reside. To work properly, NaviPOWM needs the following subdirectories (case sensitive!): 1. Icons 2. Maps 3. Save The following files must be copied: 1. common/Images/info.bmp to Icons/info.bmp 2. common/Images/logo.bmp to Icons/logo.bmp 3. common/Images/minimize.bmp to Icons/minimize.bmp 4. common/Images/poi00.bmp to Icons/poi00.bmp 5. common/Images/quit.bmp to Icons/quit.bmp 6. common/Images/saveoff.bmp to Icons/saveoff.bmp 7. common/Images/saveon.bmp to Icons/saveon.bmp 8. common/Images/zoomin.bmp to Icons/zoomin.bmp 9. common/Images/zoomout.bmp to Icons/zoomout.bmp 10. common/Config/navipowm.ini to navipowm.ini 11. and finally the executable itself A description of the ini file can be found at http://navipowm.wiki.sourceforge.net/NaviPOWM ------------------- Operating NaviPOWM: ------------------- 1. Zooming is done by keys "<-" (left) and "->" (right) on Windows and Linux and with the corresponding hard keys on PDAs. If zoom buttons are enabled, you can zoom in / out by clicking on them. 2. An info screen is displayed when typing on the NaviPOWM icon in the top left corner of the screen. 3. A red floppy disk indicates "NO SAVING", a green one indicates that NaviPOWM is saving all received NMEA data. 4. The exit button terminates NaviPOWM. 5. By clicking on the number of sattelites in the top left corner a screen with the position of satellites in view is displayed. 6. Automatic scaling can be turned on and off by pressing the scale bars in the top left corner of the screen. 7. Moving map can be done by dragging the map around, after map moving has been enabled by pressing the blue triangle in the top bar.
