zRoadMap again

I've found Wendell Turner's Sharp Zaurus ipk, and installed it:

# ipkg install -d loop0 /media/card/zroadmap_1.0.12-r2_arm5te.ipk
# ipkg-link add kernel-module-usbcore-2.6
# ipkg-link add kernel-module-usbkbd-2.6
# ipkg-link add kernel-module-usbmouse-2.6
# ipkg-link add usbutils
# ipkg-link add zroadmap
after copying the files from /opt/QtPalmtop/share/roadmap to ~/.roadmap/
# cp /opt/QtPalmtop/share/roadmap/* ~/.roadmap/
and starting roadmap from ~/.roadmap:
# cd ~/.roadmap
# roadmap
But there is still the issue of getting maps....

qpeGPS & zRoadMap

Install qpegps:
first, install gpsd:

# ipkg install gpsd -d loop0
# ipkg-link add gpsd
Then libgps14:
# ipkg install libgps14 -d loop0
# ipkg-link add libgps14
Then qpe:
# ipkg install qpegps -d loop0
# ipkg-link add qpegps
In order for the map download to work, downmap and gif2png needed to be extracted into /opt/QtPalmtop/bin
wget is needed to be installed (apparently the busybox version is not compatible with downmap)
# ipkg install wget -d loop0
# ipkg-link add wget
Now I'll try to download Haifa area maps... this takes some time (24 maps are downloaded)

Apperantly the popup menu doesn't work... :-(

zroadmap
I'll try my luck with zroadmap:
# ipkg install -d loop0 zroadmap
# ipkg-link add zroadmap

It seems that the directories are not configured well, roadmap searches for the file usdir.rdm which I found in /opt/QtPalmtop/share/roadmap/, once I started roadmap from this directory it started ok (but no maps...).
No luck finding maps, So I removed it
# ipkg-link remove zroadmap
# ipkg remove zroadmap
