Navit questions...

[Lothar Behrens]

Hi,

now I have played around a little with navit and tried to reduce the  
recalculation when speed is under 4.
It's my assumption that a walk is at last about 5 km/h, thus I added  
some lines of code to handle this case.

But before I am really do too much that propably has been done I would  
ask here.

The speed that triggers a recalculation of the displayed map is about  
more as 2.

Should this be done a little bit more ?

Or could it be done by a 'lowpass' that increases the trigger about  
half the average speed (three or four times measured)
if the average is more than the result of the increase ?

The decrease should be done similar (about some below the average).

This will reduce the amount of recalculations a lot I think.

A question beside. I want to try my changes on my FreeRunner for a  
live test:

How to get changes into the MokoMakefile built of navit.
Should I create a patch to be applied in a prebuild step ?

I have seen several directories per user that do something I don't  
understand yet.

Any further help out there ?

Another idea: What about a real voice, recorded from someone to  
replace the synthetic voice ?
(There are not so much combinations I think)

Thanks

Lothar
