Woow that’s a great thing, thanks a lot
I was interested in contributing to xGPS, just downloaded the source code
Forgot to ask, when will xGPS itself be open sourced?
Thanks
No, for now just the Manager will be open source for now.
The new manager work now for me! Thanks!!!!!!!
Thanks a lot for this update, that’s is great! I live at TAHITI, there’s no map to download inside xGPS Manager for me, I’d like to know if it’s not possible to get the googlemaps maps inside xGPS?
Thanks
Didn’t work in osx environment, launch and quit itself
What OS X version do you have?
I have OSX version 10.5.8 and 1.1.5 version is not working for me. I tried 1.1.0 release, but though I am able to search for the location, double click on it just shows nothing. The grey map remains grey.
I have downloaded the source code and built the jars using 1.5 JDK and OSX. I have successfully started the tool (no calss version errors happens). I think the build has to be reposted?
Sure I made a mistake. I compiled xGPS manager for Java 1.6. A new build will be posted soon.
Yes, I’m having the same problem on OS X. The program launches and then quits. Thanks for fixing this!
I has no problem on OS X.
Perhaps u guy do a clean install for the software.
I mean remove all related plist.
Hey guys, I am on mac os 10.5.7 and the latest GPS manager does not want to start: comes up in the dock and disappear immediately after. Any idea?
cheers,
A
Same here just like MMN. Can you please fix this soon?
This version 1.1.5 works just fine for me. I’m so glad the gray map issue is resolved.
I’m on Snow Leopard 10.6.1.
I noted, however, Finder’s Preview Column shows it’s version 1.0.0, although it says 1.1.5 in the App itself.
Why can’t you release the GPSSerial source code so I/we can try to make it work like you promises on the iGPS360 webpage (tomtom/navigon)!? The race is over now with bluetooth gps support from other people, please release the source!
Thanks, Rolf
Hey I downloaded the xgps but it’s not talkin to me…. N I want to download the new up date but i dnt know how!!! Pls help
This version seems to only work with mac osx 10.6 or snow leopard. The problem it seems is the manager is complied with 1.6 version of java not 1.5.
The standard version of java on 10.5 is version 1.5. If you switch to the java version 1.6 on 10.5 it still does not work.
The source code is in the downloads section of the main website under source. Is anybody able to compile a osx version for java 1.5 and post a link?
it worked for a couple of minutes, than it crashed while downloading (“parts of the map could not be downloaded”) now it doesn’t display any maps at all, if I use the search function it says I should verify my internet connection… i did, google earth works flawless… I’m on a 10.6 MBPro, I downloaded xGPS Manager again but still… no maps (just gray), no search… transferring maps from iphone works though but again, no map is displayed when “show offline map” is clicked
XGPS don’t work in my XP. anything happens when i run its. Pls help me?
Make sure to have Java 6 installed (http://www.java.com)
it’s working now, tks very much
esta mui padre q pensaran en esto
hi,
could we please have a working xGPS manager for OS X 10.5.8?? I am not going to go to Snowleo anytime soon.
1.1 stays grey (the map window) and 1.1.5 quits during startup.
I harmonise with your results but will hungrily look forward to your subsequent updates. Only declaring cheers won’t just end up being adequate, for your outstanding readability within your posting. I’ll directly seize the feed to keep up-to-date of any posts. Solid effort and much achievement within your online business efforts! Get money, get paid!
Fantastic work going on here. Is there a fix for Mac OSX 10.4.11 as none of the versions of download manager work as far as I can tell. Wish I could offer some practical help but my programming skills are non existent. I am grateful for the hard work you guys do though.
Yes, we need a working Version of xGPS Manager for Mac OS X 10.5.8, I have the same issue as Cierra.
Just found out that since I am running a 32bit PPC G5 on MAC OS X 10.5.8, Apple has chosen not to support Java 1.6 which means I am forever stuck on Java 1.5. This explains why the new xGPS Manager will not work on Cierra’s or my computer. It would be cool if the developer created a version of the jar files that supported Java 1.5.
Has anyone managed to build the source on 10.5.8? I tried but am getting errors..
