Bug Description

I just pulled in the tarball for 1.2.0, and compiled it on Debian 7.7 (Wheezy).

While trying the routing facility, I got an error message, "Oops! No Route found...". The trace to stdout looks like:

--------------------------------------------------
(foxtrotgps:8197): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_toolbar_set_icon_size: assertion `icon_size != GTK_ICON_SIZE_INVALID' failed

The two values are both latitudes, and likely correct. But I don't see any longitudes.

So I added a line:

--------------------------------------------------
 url = g_strdup_printf("http://www.yournavigation.org/api/dev/gosmore.php?format=gpx&flat=%s&flon=%s&tlat=%s&tlon=%s&v=motorcar&fast=1&layer=mapnik",startlatstr, startlonstr, endlatstr, endlonstr);
        printf ("%s(): %s\n", __PRETTY_FUNCTION__, url); /* C^2 */
 if (!g_thread_create(&fetch_track_thread, (void *)url, FALSE, NULL) != 0)
  g_warning("### can't create route thread\n");
--------------------------------------------------

and got:

--------------------------------------------------

The two positions look like they are more or less correct (Hoback Junction and Alpine, Wyoming).

I then fell back to the Wheezy version of foxtrotgps, 1.1.1-2, and got the same error.

The issue is twofold:

The yournavigation.org dev API seems to just return errors.

The yournavigation.org APIs seems to have dropped gpx output.

I've fixed both of these just now in bzr trunk:

I confirm the fix for yournavigation. openroute still fails. Thanks.

It works for me in some cases but not others, failing with:

Position 'Start' not possible (no street in 300.0 meter). Please Check your Position

Which positions did you find errors with?

Try zooming in on the start and end before doing a route.

I haven't gotten that.

Good point.

I tried 43.473103,-110.746994 and 43.474350,-110.782700, using a map
scale of 14. It failed ("No route found...") for open route services,
succeeded for your navigation.

It only appears in the API response, which does not get shown in the UI.

I tried this just now and get this response from the API:

Position 'Start' not possible (no street in 300.0 meter).
Please Check your Position: -110.746994 43.473103 !

When I tried your search on the openrouteservice.org website I get this:

Message: Position 'Start' not possible (no street in 300.0 meter).
Please Check your Position: -110.7021439 43.452132 !
Notice: the Route Service is at this time only for Europe!

So at this point I think:

FoxtrotGPS is working as before for openrouteservice.org.

The openrouteservice.org folks need to improve their API to search for
further away roads/tracks etc, probably 2km would be good.

The openrouteservice.org folks need to add support for roads worldwide.

FoxtrotGPS could probably provide a hint about zooming in.

FoxtrotGPS could probably provide hints about openrouteservice.org.

FoxtrotGPS could probably provide errors from the API in the UI.

I personally don't intend to work on these issues, help welcome though.

Curiouser and curiouser. I copied and pasted from your email, and got
correct routing from "your navigation". Still "no route found" from the
other.

I couldn't even get that far with my lat and long co-ordinates. "Please
set 'Start' and 'End' point first! Enter your addresses in the
textfields and press 'Set' or use rightclick to set the points on the
map."

The web site does say, "First Europe-wide ..." so perhaps a "Europe
only" note on the FoxtrotGPS widget is in order. How hard would it be
to block non-European locations. Oh, yeah: define "European" for this
purpose.

Just for the halibut, I tried those points on the "your navigation" web
site. I got a route, except that th start point is further up the
canyon on Cache Creek Drive to the east than where I set it on
FoxtrotGPS. Odd, but it worked.

That would be nice.

Also nice.

That would also be nice for diagnostics.

I can't right now. As you say, help welcome.
