Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

Wouldn't it just be SO cool if the neat wx radar would overlay the other map tiles when you clicked a button...

Wouldn't that wx overlay be even more useful over the aviation AND MARINE charts, turning MM into the finest marine chartplotter on the planet....witth cellular live updates...

Just dreaming...thanks to all who made MM such a great program....amazing.

Hi,
the link seems do not work any more, is there any update URL?
Or, how can i find such url by myself, is there some public space where google will put these url in?

And, i try to add the url as an repository. Am i doing right?

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

How many level can you zoom to? mine stopped at 10.

TIA,

bun

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

Hi..

Yes it only zooms in to level 10.

I get levels 18,17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10

Got to use it last night on a X-country flight....worked an absolute charm! Check the link below for evidence

(Note: GPS in use is the bluetooth external "GlobalTop G66" - gets a fix within 25 seconds flat every single time - During this flight I never took it out of my shirt pocket)

Thanks again to the creator of MM!!!

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

The guy you see on the flikr link is not me...it's my sleepy instructor. He works hard...so I let him sleep on the X-Country flights.

He was mightily impressed with the N810....Saves messing around trying to unfold a 2ft x 4ft map all the time. I swear that's how all plane crashes occur....map folding.

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

I can copy the URL, but can't seem to paste in the URL Format field maemo mapper. Am I missing something?

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

On the virtual keyboard, there are buttons on the left, one of which is a menu for the virtual keyboard itself. In that menu are menu items to copy or paste. Use the paste menu item to paste the contents of the clipboard into any field in any application.

If you're using an N810, you have to put the hardware keyboard away in order to access the menu, since it is only available on the virtual keyboard. I wish the menu were available via the hardware keyboard....

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

the last 2 zoom steps didn't work for all maps in my app

yes google satellite yahoo VE....


is it the end at zoom No.3?

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

Go to "manage repositories" on the main menu, and check what the minimum zoom for download is set at.

have fun

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.

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

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):
http://www.geoserver.nrw.de:80/GeoOg...RMAT=image/png

http://deutschlandviewer.bayern.de/o...ES=&FORMAT=png

Badenwürtemberg TM (1:50000)

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?

anybody find any good marine based repositories?

that encoding is just two fields in base64:

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.

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

Just an update, Google Terrain works well for me in Canada. Don't know why it isn't included in the auto-download pack!

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

I´ve been trying to get my head around this for a while at no luck. Please let me know if it´s possible or not.

map format from the google mashup code
http://crmap.com/maps/"+(a.x)+"_"+(x.y)+"_"+(b)+".gif

and here what the tile looks like
http://crmap.com/maps/4365_7735_14.gif

Am trying to get this into Maemo Mapper, tried all possible combinations, checked all forums possilble trying to get my head around it, you´re my only hope. Any response will be highly appreciated. Thank you in advanced.

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

Google mashup code won't work. The mapper programs are all designed to work with an ascending hierarchy of 0-3 in each digit space. So 3.gif is level 20 zoom with grid 4 of 4 represented. 1134.gif is zoom 18 (if memory serves me right) and so on. I'm trying to develop a download script, and even I'm having trouble getting my mind around this whole bloody mess. Ah well, at least I don't feel so bad. ;)

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

Google recently added detailed maps of Israel. Street names are available only in Hebrew. To use, change the URL to:

http://mt.google.com/mt?v=nq.83&x=%d&y=%d&zoom=%d

With this URL, names inside Israel (and the occupied Palestinian territories) are in Hebrew, while the rest of the world is still in English.

I sent a message to NOAA begging them to start a map tile server or make a deal with Google to serve the tiles. Someone has just got to get marine charting onto Google or Virtual Earth....(c;

default db for download maps
 

I wonder if I might get some advice on changing the default cache db from /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/Maps to my internal sd. I have done so manually in the Manage Repositories dialog, but each time I download new maps they download to the default directory. Resetting also results in the creation of new folders and files at that path. Following previous posts I have copied the Maps directory from the above path to the internal sd card but downloads continue to download to that default path. Is there a means of forcing the default directory without linking the default path to the sd card? Many thanks.

Re: default db for download maps
 

When you say "each time I download new maps they download to the default directory," do you mean that maps downloaded via the "Manage Maps" dialog are downloaded into the default directory? Or do you mean that repositories downloaded via the "Manage Repositories" dialog are downloaded into the default directory?

There is currently no way to change the default directory into which repositories are initially places. But you shouldn't need to download repositories more than once. Repository setup should be a one-time step that you do at start-up and then forget about. And if you back up your settings before you reflash and restore the back-up after you reflash, then your repositories should be preserved.

Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

Gnuite,

Thank you for the clarification. In reading some earlier posts I understood that by moving downloaded maps from the default location to another would force the application to then use that new location as the default. Poor understanding on my part. And after a re-flash my repositories were indeed correct. Thanks again.

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

Gnuite,
Any updates on releasing latest version of MaemoMapper? I've been checking maemo garage and your site for more than a month.. still nothing.
What futures and fixes are being implemented?

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

Two updates about google maps of Israel:

1. The normal google maps now include street names in English.

2. The URL of the Hebrew names changed, and is now:

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

openlayer and geoportail support?
http://www.geoportail.fr/
http://openlayers.org/

hi,
I want to use maemomapper to go hicking, and well since I'm french and that geoportail, from the french national geographic institute , is providing hicking maps I want to use them in maemomapper.
it seems that geoportail use openlayer technology...
is there a way to use them as repositories?
thanks
JLM

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

according to some investigation, geoportail stores tiles with the following url scheme :
the upper and lower case have impact.
http://visu-2d.geoportail.fr/geoweb/mapsUxGM2GGY.jpg
http://visu-2d.geoportail.fr/geoweb/maps8u6T23KrPmH.jpg

now I have to figure which java script is in charge of creating the url....
Best Regards,
JLM

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

geoportail :
seems that the encryption of names occurs in

there is also another script that might be usefull....

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

Excuse my gush, but I just love this app and it has made a real positive impact on my life and what I do. Thank you so much to everyone who made it possible. You rock! (I checked back today to find several more repositories to play with and got all excited.)

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

Hi guys,

I`m having probs with Google Maps - satellite repository. I`m using default repository that came with mapper (http://kh.google.com/kh?v=999&t=%s) but it just won`t load maps any more (from yesterday). All other repositories are working ok. Can someone confirm please that this repository is working ok?

Cheers!

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

google satellite only allows around 5mb of map downloads a day. so you have to wait 24 hours before downloading 5mbs more.

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

Ah, sad thing, I didn`t know about that. Yahoo sat. maps doesn`t have any limit at all, I downloaded entire area around my city (~2GB) without problems. Too bad I`ll have to wait about a 10 yrs to finish google maps download :)

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

Would anyone know how to use the "cloud layer" or "Radar Layer" from the stock google selection, or would it even be possible to include those at all... any help would be appreciated.

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

What is the meaning behind 'XX maps failed to download'? I have some maps tiles, scanned and cut into 256x256 pixel tiles, in a repo and I am using a .../%d/%d/%d.png structure for the repo. I even have a copy on the SD card using file:///media/mmc1/map/1113A/ etc.
These tiles are visible *when I browse to them!*... but will not 'download' to MM. MM reports 'Processing xx maps" but then fails. The screen remains black whatever I do.
I have tried going to a lat/long within the map tile space but no joy.

Any help gratefully accepted.

PS. These are nautical map tiles which are apparently greatly desired.
