Introducing the SD-Caching PDF Print E-mail
Written by Nicolas Gramlich   
Tuesday, 02 December 2008 01:41

Hello Community,

 today we want to introduce you the updated Caching-feature. This updated caching-mechanism allows you to enable storing the downloaded map-tiles to the SD-card instead of to the internal-ROM.

Pros:

  1. No Internal ROM is used (you can habe more applications installed!)
  2. You can store many more(!) - tons of maptiles, just as big as your SD-Card is!
  3. You can preload much more images, so you can have detailed maps even without coverage!
  4. Internal-ROM is used as a fallback, if no SD-Card is inserted.

Cons:

  1. Its a little bit slower than storing to the internal ROM (at least with my SD-Card)

This is how it looks like:

 

If I find no bugs, I'll send out a version to all covered+registered users, tonight.

 

Note: You currently can set sizes, bigger than the actual free space on the SD-Card is. AndNav will probably crash then

 

Best Regards,
Nicolas

Thanks! I've sent a message to plusminus on the forums. I'm not sure how useful I'd be as I'm in the U.S., though. Quote

Thanks, Nikolas.
I've registered and put myself on the map, but still does not understand how to get a copy of andnav2 to test (no email).

Is there any chance you (or somebody) can send me a copy on email?

yes its working already.
The photos from the previous link are live ones from my G1.

Currently you can only preload the tiles along a route. I'll add a feature that you can preload complete rectangle-areas, like "I want the complete maps of D.C. preloaded"

Best Regards,
Nicolas

Nicolas,

Yes I was thinking of "Preloading". Do you have that working yet on AndNav2?

Caching is transparent to the user. You only can set the max-sizes.

What you maybe were thinking of is what I'm calling 'Preloading'. See:
> http://www.andnav.org/index.php/component/content/article/37-about-andnav2/62-andnav2-maptile-preloader

Best Regards,
Nicolas

Quoting Tim Fedders:
Nicolas,

Can you make a video of how you do the caching. I would like to see how you let AndNav2 know what to cache.

Thanks,
Tim

what can be downloaded from the market is AndNav the predecessor of AndNav2. See http://features.andnav.org for a comparison.

If you register yourself here on andnav.org and place yourself to the community-map you'll get emailed when new updates are available.

This procedure will go on until the servers are stable enough to handle thousands of users without going down. (currently one of the services crashes once or twice with about 800 users/day)

Best Regards,
Nicolas Quote
