Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

You are totally correct, the menu is NOT available from the KB, but you can do the following, some tricks I learned here in the forum,

With the physical keyboard slided out, you can press shift+space, the onscreen KB will show up, you can then use the menu.

Copy can be accomplished by onscreen KB, using menu>Copy/Paste.
Copy can also be performed with hardward KB, using CTRL+C (copy) or CTRL+V (paste)

Thanks for the gorgeous maemo mapper, gnuite

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

HI all, first of all thanks for everyone helping out with the development of maemo maps. I just got myself a i-blue 821 gps receiver to add to my N800. Most stuff works great, however I am having one specific issues which I am wondering if anyone else is having.

I am trying to get MM to work with Google Satelite. (http://kh.google.com/kh?v=999&t=%s).
When I try using MM interactively or downloading a region of maps, it will either display a blank screen or tell me that "xx maps failed to download"
I noticed that if I try to bring up the url manually in my browser that I get the message: "we're sorry... but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now."

Everything works great for Google Maps, just not the satelite.

I also tried usging winmapper, it tells me that it was successful in downloading from google satelite, however when I go look for the files, they are not there. It works for google maps.

If anyone has any ideas, I would love to hear them.

I am planning to use the satelite maps to track my progress while going on some backroad trails.

Thanks for any help!

Delete Google Cookies, Try a proxy server or change your ip, it worked for me.

This is in reply to Stephan in his older thread How does Maemo Mapper build the URL?, i think this is the proper place for new repos and i don't like to bump old threads. :) He was wondering how to add the German NRW TK25 topo map to maemo mapper, the bbox format was a bit different from others (e.g. BBOX=2581200,5683300,2581800,5683900)... and i wanted to use it too.

The proper BBOX format is "BBOX=%.2f,%.2f,%.2f,%.2f", this is the url for the Nordrhein-Westfalen TK25 topo map (zoom level 6):

Answer found here: http://hoohol.ath.cx/public/index.ph...eMM-Extensions (Why isn't that info documented in some easier to find place?)

Edit: adding two more repos for NRW:

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

im playing around with the WMS weather maps..

is there away to get maemo mapper to overlay the weather data on top of a map?

also, is there away to "refresh" so you get updated weather info?

http://demo.geogarage.com/noaa/

This website overlays the latest NOAA nautical charts for the whole USA over Google's tiles.

http://www.geogarage.com/gggmap-1.1/images/

I entered this into maemo mapper trying to get the charts and it LOOKS like it downloads, but then MM reports it failed to download 283 maps after all the downloading is done.

Man, would I love to have THAT working on maemo mapper like the aeronautical charts for use on the boat!

Thanks for anything you can do to make that happen!

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

I used the US topo maps very successfully on a backpack trip, although the tiles occasionally got scrambled when downloading and I had to clear the db and try again... a problem with proj maybe?

Any good topo maps for Canada?

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

Nice website. I'd also very much like to have marine charts for maemo mapper. Have used it on the boat with satellite images and they are very helpful. Even saved me from wandering around in a fog bank that rolled in too quickly to escape, and have also used it to good effect at night, but the depth information, channels, etc. would add a lot of value.
