News: First version of MC Navi

Sometimes it is needed to say - stop! Programming is never ending story so there must come the day, when you release something. It's not final, it's buggy, but is a preview of the work. So if someone wants to test the first public version of my GPS navigation project, can download it here. Provided are versions for Debian GNU/Linux AMD64 and for Neo Freerunner and map converter for Debian AMD64.
First, it is needed to convert map. Download some OSM extracts (one country for example from download.geofabrik.de/osm/) and run convertor osm2mcmap:
osm2mcmap map.osm map.mcm
This task is very memory consuming - needed data are loaded to memory, sorted and then written to disk. Tested on Czech republic - takes 1.5GB of memory. Do not convert on low mem computer - it will swap a lot and may fail.
Convertor doesn't use relations, cities are forced as Czech republic, addresses with unspecified city are omitted etc.
After that run MC Navi from command line with:
mcnavi -m map.mcm
or copy the map to directory /usr/share/mcnavi/map/ and the map file must be named map.mcm, then run application without arguments.
It is work in progress - so it starts on some predefined position in Czechia and will not display the map first, if you don't use czech map. Wait for GPS aquire and it will show the map. It uses gpsd, so you need to properly configure it. It is possible to route, show the route on map, has basic navigation with no sound yet.
And ... don't report bugs, I am aware about them ;-). And sorry, no source code yet.
