Bon ben je dé-installe OsmAnd+ de mon téléphone. Et pourtant j'avais acheté l'appli.
Mais concrètement: Je ne m'en sers plus.
Ça me permettra de librérer quelques giga-octets (vu qu'Android 11 ne permet plus de stocker les cartes sur la microSD 🤬 )
Je garde MagicEarth (qui a la meilleure navigation en voiture) et OrganicMaps (meilleure navigation à pied).
(Surtout maintenant que MagicEarth sait importer une trace gpx)
After being kneecapped by a #patents troll years ago, #Mozilla Location Services, the only somewhat trusted (non-Google/Apple) "Wi-Fi positioning system" (geolocation based on triangulating collected #WiFi SSIDs), is now shutting down: https://github.com/mozilla/ichnaea/issues/2065
MLS was how #GeoClue could get a meters-accurate location without a #GPS receiver / sky line-of-sight.
It was used by many #GNOME / #KDE apps to get instantaneous neighborhood-level location (for maps, local weather…) on #Linux laptops.

Tiens la nouvelle version de MagicEarth a deux nouveaux styles de cartes (Magic Day et Magic Night) avec des routes détourées et plus contrastées.
Ça rend vraiment très bien: c'est agréable à l'oeil et ça améliore la lisibilité. 👍🏻
I decided to treat myself by buying a new satnav for the car. My car doesn't have a satnav built-in, which with hindsight is a good thing.
The new model is a Garmin DriveSmart 76. My main reason for upgrading was to get lifetime map updates, which are installed via WiFi, directly onto the satnav (no PC needed). For me this is a major benefit, as otherwise map updates require a Garmin app running on Mac or Windows. The new unit will replace a Garmin Nuvi 65 LM.

Si par hasard vous savez convertir des favoris MagicEarth (.xlm) en .kml (pour import dans OrganicMaps), je suis preneur.
Les fichiers .xlm sont créés par MagicEarth quand vous faite "partager" dans vos favoris.
C'est une base SQLite, mais je ne comprend pas le format de la colonne des coordonnées (table LMK, colonne coord).
Par exemple la Tour Eiffel,
Latitude=48.85826187
Longitude=2.29449563
se retrouve avec ces coordonnées dans le fichier MagicEarth:
coord=671502838063434034

So instead of writing about motorcycle racing, I have spent the past few days writing about my obsessive quest for the perfect motorcycle navigation solution. The BMW Navigator VI is crap, and I can't integrate TomTom with the scroll wheel. So I bought a WunderLINQ, but which nav app to use? Kurviger? Cruiser? OSMAnd? And what exactly are the perfect routing parameters?

EILT (weil nahender Feiertag - würde gerne heute noch was rauskriegen): Habt ihr Tipps für Fachleute, die sich mit #GPS-Jamming auskennen und die idealerweise heute noch (telefonisch) ein paar Fragen für meinen aktuellen Artikel beatnworten könnten (ich werde diese dann natürlich zitieren).
Geht in die Richtung: was hängt alles von GPS bzw GNSS ab? Welche Backups gibt es? Welche Prozesse kann man damit empfindlich stören? Und wie sind wir geschützt?
Danke für eure Hilfe!

Les dernières versions de MagicEarth on modifié l'interface pour la "moderniser" (tout est rond, maintenant, c'est la tendance 😄 ).
Dernier petit ajout que je trouve sympatique:
Pendant la navigation, la ville et la rue dans lequelle vous vous trouvez actuellement s'affichent en bas de l'écran.
Je cherchais un #GPS auto non #GAFAM depuis déjà quelques mois, sans réel succès. Après avoir vu passer le nom de #MagicEarth à plusieurs reprises (notamment via @sebsauvage, merci !), je viens de tester. Premier trajet plutôt convaincant ! Avec les fonctionnalités habituelles : Android Auto, trafic, limitation de vitesse, etc. Et d'autres : cartes OSM, hors ligne, cartes variées, choix du mode de déplacement, assistance de conduite, etc. La suite des tests prochainement...
#applications#Android#gps#gratuit
Yeah! \o/
La nouvelle version de MagicEarth est sortie.
En plus du support AndroidAuto, il y a aussi diverses autres choses : support des traces gpx, meilleur affichage du relief, plusieurs styles de cartes disponibles, etc.
#GPS receiver question - has anyone seen old/new GPS receiver chips that will emit the time string even when "cold"? I'm not sure any do, but it would be helpful if they exist.
Sporo opcji, obsługuje wiele apek na telefony. Jeśli będziecie korzystać (ja dzisiaj testuję) i apka nie będzie robić problemów na instancji #Nextcloud, to zostanie :)
New Year’s Eve: Musings on Y2K
At 3pm PST on 31 December, 1999, I sat down at the computer in my home office in Yakima, Washington. I logged remotely into the network at HQ and started monitoring our systems. The most critical moment would come at 4pm local time. We were in Pacific Standard Time (PST), -0800 UTC. In other words, at 4pm in Yakima, it would be midnight in Greenwich, England, where the time zone aligns with Coordinated Universal Time. (Coordinated Universal Time is abbreviated as UTC, not CUT, because there are actually other languages in the world besides English, and… never mind. Look it up if that story interests you).
Anyway.
The GPS satellites run on UTC, and our entire multi-state operation depended on GPS timing. My first hint of system failure because of a Y2K bug would occur at midnight, UTC.
Beginning at 3:55pm I began testing the major system once a minute. At 4:05pm I sent out the notice to corporate management that all was well.
I tested hourly, then, but the next critical moment wasn’t until 9pm PST, which was when midnight occurred on the US East Coast. Our equipment was all in MST and PST, but some of our many telecom providers might have systems with local time coordination in some other US time zone. (They’d all be using GPS now, but – this was 1999, and US telecommunications had plenty of legacy systems with other clocking methods).
In the end, nothing failed. Our entire system worked.
This wasn’t because Y2K was overblown.
It was because we replaced our billing system, which wasn’t able to generate an invoice after the date flip.
It was because we did software updates on several proprietary systems that would have failed.
It was because we did firmware updates, too.
Equipment inventories.
Application inventories.
Operating system inventories.
Software version inventories.
Firmware version inventories.
The reason January 1, 2000 seemed like such an ordinary day is because of the MASSIVE amount of work and money spent to make it ordinary. There are unsung heroes around the world who put in the work to update or replace systems that would’ve failed otherwise.
If you’re one of those people, I would love to hear your story.
