• Map: OSM Mapnik
• Open many gpx files. 24 for me, ~1000km total
• Scroll in any direction
• Does not respond or is really slow

Looks like viking tries to calculate a lot of gps points or OSM tiles. I don't need that many. Is it possible to "lower" OSM or gpx detail to improve performance ?

Currently apparently the only way to cache an area of background OSM map so it will be still there later offline, is to pan around and zoom in and out while online.
It would be better if one could sweep out a bounding box and let Viking get all the tiles within, (to a zoom level we tell it) while we do something else.

default routing.xml for brouter is not working.

IT would be cool to have one-button hotkeys for tools selecting.
For example:
P for moving tool (now it's Ctrl+Shift+P)
Z for zoom (now it's Ctrl+Shift+Z)
etc...

OS X 10.11.6 El Capitan

I'm seeing the same symptoms as the poster at https://sourceforge.net/p/viking/bugs/129/#2794.

I took the notes below as I tried installing the dev version from GitHub:
– Running ./autogen.sh, I needed gtk-doc-tools. Found at http://macappstore.org/gtk-doc/, I ran brew install gtk-doc and moved on to running ./autogen.sh again.
– No idea how to get geoclue for OS X, if it’s even possible. Looks like running ./autogen.sh –enable-geoclue=no will skip that requirement.
– Next ran into needing oath.h. Found at http://macappstore.org/liboauth/, ran brew install liboauth.
– Don’t need GPS tracking and didn’t have libgps, so command is now ./autogen.sh –enable-geoclue=no –enable-realtime-gps-tracking=no
– brew install nettle
– brew install mapnik (http://macappstore.org/mapnik/ < -- this website is coming in handy), although I still get an error looking for mapnik/map.hpp. Terminal instructions actually say how to disable mapnik, so pushing forward..../autogen.sh --enable-geoclue=no --enable-realtime-gps-tracking=no --disable-mapnik - Into configuration (even though terminal says jump right into make. ./configure --disable-realtime-gps-tracking --disable-mapnik --disable-geoclue - Install with sudo make install. - Run with viking. Still not working. The tiles are downloading but not displaying. Trying to fix the original issue. - brew upgrade gdk-pixbufseems to have fixed the issues with downloading the tiles, but it could also be that I moved where the tiles are stored to an accessible folder in my home folder. - per https://sourceforge.net/p/viking/bugs/129/, I installed Geeqie to test gdx-pixbuf, and it renders things fine.
– with viking -Vd getting ** (viking:43010): WARNING **: 22:31:57.381: unbuffer not found in PATH. brew install expect per https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/193152/202986. This did not change any behavior.

Any thoughts?

Hi,

Viking 1.6.1 on W7-64-bit. Now it doesn't crash anymore, but the map just loads for a split second then everything goes gray and sometimes it even hangs.

I'm using v1.6, installed from the Linux Mint repositories. Regardless of what settings I apply when trying to use "Geotag images...", nothing happens. There is no indication of success or failure. I load a kml file, select a bunch of images with timestamps, click "OK", and nothing happens.

It's hard to tell if this is a bug or if I'm just doing something wrong. Would you be able to describe the expected behaviour and perhaps provide a working example?

When using a map background in the Mercator projection, I would like to obtain UTM coordinates of a point. Currently, this is only possible by setting a waypoint, changing the projection (thus making the map background disapear), and putting the mouse pointer on the waypoint to read coordinates in the status bar (even the waypoint properties are still in lat/lon).

I see two ways to achive this:

• adding an option in preferences to choose the coordinate system used to dispaly status bar information
• add a filed in waypoint properties to display in the same times coordinates in both system, allowing to easily copy-paste the fields.

Thanks for your work,
Flo

Once the repository is activated on https://travis-ci.org (press + on the left, sync your account and activate) every commit and pull request is build automatically there.

It would be great to be able to select multiple points with a rectangle selection to split them from the track. (To edit or delete them, my use case is to truncate the end of the track from a certain point on.)

Why must "pan" and "select" mode conflict? Why cannot one do both
without needing to switch from one mode to the other? Isn't that how all
other mapping systems operate?

One doesn't need to switch to "zoom" mode (must be from back when mouses
didn't have wheels), and still be able to zoom (with the wheel) despite
being in "pan" or "select" modes.

That is a good first step. Now all that needs to be done is allow people
to select when in pan mode, and pan when in select mode.

Sure, keep the older functionality for people who only have some broken
mouse or something, but for the rest of us, please make sure the
interface acts like Google Maps or OSM.ORG or iD editor etc.

Sure with a giant screen one rarely needs to pan, so doesn't notice the
problem.

I'm running Viking 1.7 on Debian 'Buster'. The default map is choice is 'Mapbox Outdoors', however the map isn't loaded/displayed. If I switch to a different map type (like OSM (Mapnik)) the map is displayed. I tried "Download Missing Onscreen Maps" and a few other things, but to no avail. The problem is persistent, I saw it consistently over a few months. Most of my activities are in the San Francisco Bay Area, I confirmed that 'Mapbox Outdoors' maps are generally available to this area.

The routing module, thanks to the XML configuration module, can use other/custom routing API. However, the coordinates are hardcoded in this order: latitude,longitude. This prevents from using APIs that take as arguments coordinates in longitude,latitude format, which is the case for example of brouter.

I did not try to propose some code as a pull request as I failed to rebuild viking-gps from debian sources (something related to linking a static lib and a dynamic one, with an advice to rebuild with -fPIC... I'm not competent to deal with it !) with minor modification (simply tried to change lat,lon by lon,lat).
however, I was able to use brouter by using the following routing.xml file

<objects>
  <object class="VikRoutingWebEngine">
    <property name="id">brouter</property>
    <property name="label">brouter</property>
    <property name="format">gpx</property>
    <property name="url-base">http://h2096617.stratoserver.net:443/brouter?nogos=&amp;profile=hiking-beta&amp;alternativeidx=0&amp;format=gpx</property>
    <property name="url-start-ll">&amp;lonlats=%s,%s</property>
    <property name="url-stop-ll">|%s,%s</property>
    <property name="url-via-ll"></property>
  </object>
</objects>

and by reordering lon/lat by using a MITM "attack".

brouter with the hiking-beta profile is very efficient for creating tracks for hiking, trail running, mountain cycling... It'ld be great to add support for it !

thanks !

User tries to file proper bug report, but bug report link on
https://sourceforge.net/p/viking/wikiallura/Contribute/#bug-report
just gives "Whoops".

User will file bug reports on GitHub.

Even minor changes in alpha cause the licence screen to pop up upon save.

I spent an afternoon trying to add a dynamic elevation display pane to the left hand side, where the calendar appears. My efforts are in this commit. Here i am trying to add a vlp->elevation widget and add a drawn graph to it during update.

However, i completely failed to get GTK to draw anything. The code in the commit is using the code in viktrwlayer_propwin as a model. I also tried this tutorial and also did not manage to draw anything.

This request is essentially to ask for advice getting started on this. In particular, how do i draw!

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

edit: to give more information. Drawing on a PixMap is probably fine. The hard bit is transferring that to screen. I've attempted creating an image and adding it to the panel, both by creating the image from the pixmap (gtk_image_new_from_pixmap) and setting the image from the pixmap (gtk_image_set_from_pixmap), both to no avail. I've also tried creating a drawable instead of an image and then using the gtk_draw_drawable method. Also with a draw request at the end. At best i've managed to make a blank panel to appear. I don't know if it's copying the pixmap to the image that is not working, or displaying the image that is not working, or something else.

It would be nice if the graphs (e.g. speed-time) would have a checkbox (or a global setting) to enable smoothing and use e.g. a moving average, exponential decay, or some other clever way. And for #26 I care only about smoothing the speed and altitude data, however it may be useful for other purposes to smooth also the track data itself, see e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1134579/smooth-gps-data

As I wrote in #26 I'm open to implement this myself, given some simple guidance on how would be best to proceed.

When I open anyone file .gpx show this error

Hello I've experienced constant crashing of Viking 1.6 in Windows 7 64-bit. While in Ubuntubit works fine. Is there maybe any more recent version I could try, if it is maybe more stable.

Hi,

I've put together a Python script to query OSRM and then produce a GPX out of the GeoJSON ( who uses GeoJSON??) response.

I see that in the Viking preferences there is a dropdown to select a routing engine but only the default OSRM is available as a choice. Is there a way for me to add a new routing service?

The tabs seem to be in semi-random order, namely:

Elevation-distance
Gradient-distance
Speed-time
Distance-time
Elevation-time
Speed-distance

A more sensible order to me seems:

Distance-time
Speed-time
Speed-distance
Elevation-time
Elevation-distance
Gradient-distance

or

Distance-time
Speed-time
Elevation-time
Speed-distance
Elevation-distance
Gradient-distance

I can send PR if you think this reordering is appropriate and which one you prefer (if any)

I recently enabled build tests for Debian's viking package. test_metatile now fails on the big endian architectures.

I've implemented a crude way to display pace instead of speed in the speed-distance and speed-time graphs of the track properties.

For reasons too long to be explained here, runners use pace instead of speed as a way to determine how fast they are going -- this is a second example of #26

I'll be happy to make my crude implementation better and submit a PR, if you'd be interested in it (just for myself, the crude version is fine). I need some simple guidance on how would be best to proceed: strictly speaking pace and speed are two different things, however many people use them interchangeable such in my speed in that race was 7' per mile. Given this state of affair, I could implement pace as two different units for the speed (minutes per mile and minutes per km) and add it globally there like the km/h, m/s and mi/h.

Greetings...

I've been trying to get viking to work with my bluetooth
gps on Fedora. It seems many things have to align for it
to work. This is what I think is going on:

• rfcomm pairs with bluetooth gps device and binds to /dev/rfcomm0
• gps-share notices /dev/rfcomm0 and streams NMEA data to port 10110
• avahi-daemon notices that there's a local tcp NMEA source
  avahi-browse -a
• geoclue can tell that the local network has an NMEA provider via avahi.
• client (viking, where-am-i, etc) communicates with geoclue via dbus
  triggering geoclue to connect to gps-share on port 10110.
  Run "dbus-monitor --system" in one terminal when you
  run client in another terminal to see the dbus
  communication. Run gps-share in the foreground to
  see when connections get made to the nmea port.

I started with gpsd, moved on to gypsy and then to gps-share and
talked to Rob Norris in email along the way, he suggested I
follow up here, and also suggested the ultimate solution to my
(first) problem .

I have changed gclue_simple_new in libgeoclue.c from city-level
accuracy to exact-level (that's one thing Rob suggested).

Now viking either crashes (back trace below), works at
exact-level (I can see geoclue connecting to gps-share when
this happens), or I get the city-level location (and no
connection to gps-share). I guess that since geoclue has more
than one provider, the city-level location is coming from
another provider?

Getting viking to turn on and have the pointer show my true
location in the middle of the viewport has been my proof
of concept task. What I'm really after is to be able to
drive down the road and always have my true location be
under the pointer in the middle of the viewport as the map
moves beneath the pointer. I'm not sure how to go about doing
that or if it can be done... any advice?

Thanks!

-Mike

As already discussed on IRC channel some time ago, different files of viking has different license and there is one combination leading to conflict:

GPL-2.0 only vs GPL-3.0+

I haven't seen any progress or filed ticket so I decided to create this one. If there is some other, please just close it.

Legal audit was done on package submission to openSUSE distribution:

Hi,
I started using Viking and I'm trying to download tracks from my Garmin. I installed the latest gpsbabel, and in the Viking preferences I set the executable for GPSBabel to /usr/bin/gpsbabel but I still get a message saying that GPSBabel cannot be found when I click 'Download from GPS'.

Any ideas?

• Edit > Preferences > General needs a "restore defaults" button at bottom.
• Edit > Preferences > Startup needs a "restore defaults" button at bottom.
• ...

Yup, all of them need a "restore defaults" button at bottom.

In fact there also needs to be a master "restore defaults" button at the
bottom of just Edit > Preferences too.

When trying to use the route engine viking crashes after setting the second point.

I'm using viking 1.6.2 from Fedora 28 repository.
When I click on Help>Help (F1), I get the error:

The URI ‘ghelp:viking’ does not point to a valid page.

I wonder if it's upstream or Fedora bug, or maybe both.
If I clone this repository, I can open the help pages with:

yelp file:///home/fede/src/viking/help/C/viking.xml 

Link to Fedora spec file.

PS
Finding the PDF manual is not easy.
After lot of searching I found this wiki page, which contains a link to the PDF manual.

The four arrow keys on the keyboard should also pan,
as an easier way than always having to use the mouse.

Again, I'm talking about the track properties window.

I'm not sure if there's something I am misunderstanding here. With my data the show speed checkbox works as I am expecting in the Elevation-time and Distance-time tabs. In the other tabs (where the checkbox is actually called show GPS speed) it does nothing.

Moreover, show DEM does nothing too, but maybe I don't have the digital elevation model data? It would be nice if it said so, instead of doing nothing.

For normal functions you have already shortcuts which can be seen in the .viking/keys.rc file.
Is it possible to set shortcuts for right-click functions in a special context?
So you could, in the track edit mode, faster insert and delete track points.

The gpx data sometimes contains extensions fields, such as the target pace a runner was trying to achieve (this is of course related to #26)
It would be nice to have this target pace in the same graph as the "speed" (pace) so that runners can compare how they did compared to their target.

when i running viking in root mode it returns these errors and can not download maps
in debian 8 connection internet is ok too ... best regards stackprogramer

Feature request: Make the Windows version communicate with GPSD via the socket interface(JSON) over a network.

please create a flatpak on flathub.org
this promotes the dissemination of the software very much...

If I open Viking and then open a GPX file from within it, I have a full range of maps available, including openstreetmap with my API applied. However if I double click a GPX file in a different folder I only have a limited list of maps which does not include my default map so no map appears.
I had assumed this was a path problem to maps.xml but adding this to PATH does not help. Any ideas? Using Windows10 and Windows7 and the problem is the same with both on different computers.

Uploading GPX traces to OSM doesn't work anymore, as the curl command won't follow a redirect to HTTPS. https://github.com/viking-gps/viking/blob/master/src/osm-traces.c#L188 needs to be changed accordingly to use an "https://" address.

See openstreetmap/operations#117 for details.

Hi,

This looks quite nice thanks.

I want to ask a question only and will explain with a use case. Our motorcycle club want to store/catalogue gpx files. These must be searchable say with metadata/tags of Country, province, duration, difficulty etc. It is currently store in folders/directories with some meaningful names but it is a real pain to find a route as more and more routes are added.

Will it be possible to add a feature to your software to help?

Thanks.

Hi, I have an off the shelf USB NMEA-0183 GPS and am trying to get it to work with Viking. Cannot seem to find anything regarding a standard USB NMEA-0183 GPS. Please tell me where to look for this information. Thank you ! Harry
PS I am using Debian Jessie and the GPS is working as it displays data when this argument is displaced on the command line: stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 ispeed 4800 && cat </dev/ttyUSB0

Hi,
with --with-libexif I have this error:

geotag_exif.c:365:16: error: ‘VIK_DEFAULT_ALTITUDE’ undeclared (first use in this function)

I guess the problem was introduced by this commit.

Thank you in advance for your work!

Best regards,
Emanuele

When we select a point often we want to see its properties (expanded
in the Layers panel.) Yes there are several ways to see its properties,
but all involve extra clicking.

Maybe have a second "Properties" panel, to the right of the Layers
panel, that users can keep open or closed. (Default: closed.)
(Currently Properties is a floating panel that needs to opened for each
point.)

Cluttering up a user's home folder isn't nice. Linux, Windows and Mac OS all have dedicated areas where programs can store data. Adhering to these allows us to manage our data more cleanly and keep our home folders free of clutter.

For Linux
Configuration location: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/viking (defaults to ~/.config/viking)
Cache location: $XDG_CACHE_HOME/viking (defaults to ~/.cache/viking)
User data location: $XDG_DATA_HOME/viking (defaults to ~/.local/share/viking)
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html

For Mac OS
Library location: ~/Library/viking
App preferences location: ~/Library/Preferences/viking
Cache location: ~/Library/Caches/viking

Shouldn't the NEWS file mention 1.6.2 too?

When a track shall be uploaded, this windows pops up:

It asks for the Email but actually it also works with username.
( I actually did not try it with the email)

This is a bit confusing and should be changed. The upload process itself actually works well :-)

I run (and I mean with my feet, not just I run software on a computer :-) ) and I am considering to use viking to analyze my running data.

Problem is, most of of the things I need aren't implemented. I am interested in implementing them myself and submitting PRs, however before I go to that trouble, I'd like to know if there's chance for them to be merged, or if there is no interest in having running-friendly features in viking.

I guess the answer would be "it depends on the feature and how is implemented", so let's assume it's implemented with the same standard as the rest of the codebase, and I will submit two more specific issues as examples.

I have a bit of an unusual set up.. I use my phone to share gps data (nmea sentences) with my netbook via bluetooth. On the netbook side i use gpsd, which gets is data from /dev/rfcomm0 I believe.. Foxtrotgps app works with that kind of setup, does Viking work with that too? And how to set it up? Since I've read somewhere that Viking can only get data in from ttyUSB0?

It would be nice if I could use my current setup without changes with Viking. (phone gps->nmea->bluetooth->gpsd-> software to display position on map)

Cheers!

Please do not trash any <extensions> tags that may be present in the original gpx file.
I'm not asking to show and/or modify them in any way, but only to read, preserve and save them in the export of the gpx file.
