Directions that follow the roads?

[pege36]

Hello.
Psp-290 work great in Sweden (Stockholm) full reception!
Thanks Deniska and In7ane for some beautiful programs.
But I have some problems making “Directions that follow the roads” I keep getting
Errors like “Something went wrong”.
Doesn’t this option work in Sweden?

[in7ane]

It should, if you can get directions form maps.google.com, the issue is probably with Swedish characters that I'm not handling correctly - if you can post a sample from/to that fails I'll have a go at fixing that.

From: Sverige, Stockholm, Fjärde bassängvägen 15
To: Sverige, Åkersberga, Rallarvägen 2

Hope that you can figure out what I’m doing wrong.
Tack/Thanks

It seems to be just the way Google handles addresses: the format should be NUMBER STREET, CITY, COUNTRY with the country name in English.

This seems to work:

From: 15 Fjärde Bassängvägen, Stockholm, Sweden
To: 2 Rallarvägen, Åkersberga, Sweden

Let me know if this helps. In general it's an idea to see if you can get the query to give you results at http://maps.google.com

It works!!! Ohhh what a beauty. I love it!
Thanks in7ane, I’m happy as a kid in a candy store.

Hi pege36, you got any time to tell me alittle about PSP-290 and how it works in Sweden, couse i live in Gothenburg and thinking of buying one, but im not sure yet...
How long time does it take for it to connect to satellites? Is it working well with all the maps, u aint outside the road or something?

Please tell me all about it!

Hej JoQ.
Antar att du förstår svenska och det verkar inte vara bannlyst att använda modersmål här.
Jag tycker att psp290 funkar hyfsat bra. Kan ta 5 min för den att låsa på satteliterna vissa dagar.
Tycker att den är helt ok, inte att jämföra med en "riktig" GPS dock.
Problemet är att man saknar vissa saker som att kunna få riktig färd angivelser utan att behöva koppla sig till en dator.

Fler frågor?
