Maps --
The RoadMap activity on the XO is packaged with nothing but
a set of US state outline maps. (That's all I have that's
easy to package -- my apologies to the rest of the world!)
RoadMap on the XO will attempt to find maps from the activity
bundle directory itself, and also from _any_ directory called
"RoadMap.maps" on an installed removeable device. i.e. it
will search in "/media/*/RoadMap.maps".
So if you download maps from http://roadmap.sourceforge.net/maps,
or if you run buildmap_osm to fetch OpenStreetMap maps, you should
put them under RoadMap.maps on your SD card or on a USB memory stick.
(As an example -- I have maps for several New England states loaded
on my XO. My SD card contains:
$ ls /media/d0a9...ee70/RoadMap.maps
ct/ ma/ me/ nh/ ri/ usdir.rdm vt/
GPS --
If you have a GPS device and want RoadMap to use it, you'll want
to install gpsd to help: "yum install gpsd".
If, instead, you'd prefer to access your GPS via the raw tty
device, RoadMap will need to be able to open /dev/ttyUSB0 to read
your gps device. In that case, you'll need to make that device
world readable, by adding the following line to a udev config file:
# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/99-local-ttyUSB0.rules:
KERNEL=="ttyUSB0", NAME="%k", GROUP="root", MODE="0666"
(You'll need to do this, or the "yum install gpsd" above, after
every update of your XO's system software.)
