maemo.org - Talk - Maemo Mapper Repositories

Have you installed the "proj" package? It is required for all WMS-based repositories.

proj may be getting difficult to find, since I can't get it into the new autobuilder-guarded repositories. You can download it here:

proj for bora

proj for chinook

proj for diablo

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories

I wonder why the local newspaper has a much better Google street map of Costa Rica than that one from the Google Street repository for MM.

Can somebody tell me if and how I can use these maps
http://lnmapas.nacion.co.cr/maps/index.shtml
as repository for MM?

Thank you very much!

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories

Hello all...

Question:

Is there any way to run Maemo Mapper on my eee pc?

Failing that:

Is there any know windows (free) program that is similar to MM - that can use GPS to track my progress over a moving map - which ALSO allows me to specify the maps used - such as:

www.skyvector.com
www.runwayfinder.com

Thanks

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories

I just noticed that mapquest (which tends to give better directions than google in my opinion) now has the ability to create .gpx files and send them to garmin devices. I tinkered with it for a while and I think there must be some way to get it to send me the .gpx files without actually having a garmin, but so far it keeps wantint me to plug in my garmin device.

There must be some way to get around this. Anyone have any ideas?

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories

It seems that Google has recently changed the URL for satellite tiles and labels overlay. Unfortunately Maemo mapper inserts wrong zoom level into the requests, hence it can't get any tiles.

To use one, tap-and-hold on the link and copy the link address to the clipboard, then paste it into Maemo Mapper. Many of these repositories are also available by simply selecting the "Download..." button in the "Manage Repositories" dialog box in Maemo Mapper itself.

The following is a set of working repositories that you can use for Maemo Mapper:

Google Maps (street)
http://mt.google.com/mt?x=%d&y=%d&zoom=%d

Google Maps (street) (alternative)
http://mt.google.com/mt?v=ap.999&x=%d&y=%d&zoom=%d

Google Maps (satellite)
http://kh.google.com/kh?v=999&t=%s

Google Maps (terrain)
http://mt.google.com/mt?v=w2p.999&x=%d&y=%d&zoom=%d

Virtual Earth (street)
http://r0.ortho.tiles.virtualearth.n.../r%0s.png?g=45

Virtual Earth (satellite)
http://a0.ortho.tiles.virtualearth.n...a%0s.jpeg?g=50

Virtual Earth (hybrid)
http://h0.ortho.tiles.virtualearth.n...h%0s.jpeg?g=50

Yahoo Maps (street)

Yahoo Maps (satellite)
http://us.maps3.yimg.com/aerial.maps...=%d&y=%-d&z=%d

OpenStreetMap - Traditional "Mapnik"
http://tile.openstreetmap.org/%0d/%d/%d.png

OpenStreetMap - Developmental "Osmarender"
http://tah.openstreetmap.org/Tiles/tile/%0d/%d/%d.png

Terraserver USA (WMS)
http://www.terraserver-usa.com/ogcma...PTIONS=INIMAGE
(Note: WMS URL formats requires the installation of proj.)

RunwayFinder.com
http://www.runwayfinder.com/charts/x%dy%dz%d.jpg
(Note: WMS URL formats requires the installation of proj.)
(Thanks, gregrenda.)

viajoasi.com.ar (WMS)
http://viajoasi.com.ar/c.php?VERSION...PTIONS=INIMAGE
(Note: WMS URL formats requires the installation of proj.)

Layers
These repositories contain transparency and are thus ideal for use as layers on top of the above repositories.

Google Traffic
http://mt.google.com/mapstt?zoom=%0d&x=%d&y=%d

Google Labels
http://mt.google.com/mt?v=w2t.999&x=%d&y=%d&zoom=%d
(use with Google Satellite or Google Terrain for labels for cities, roads, etc., i.e. "Hybrid" maps.)

U.S. Weather Overlay (WMS)
http://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/cgi...ANSPARENT=TRUE

Legal: These repositories are for demonstration purposes only. Please use them at your own risk, since their use may be restricted or even illegal for use with Maemo Mapper. I cannot be held responsible for anyone's use of these URL formats.

hi all,
by coincidence i change the YahooStreet repository parameter, from v=4.1
http://us.maps1.yimg.com/us.tile.map...=%d&y=%-d&z=%d
to v=4.2
http://us.maps1.yimg.com/us.tile.map...=%d&y=%-d&z=%d
and then, voila.... now i could access the maps from yahoo local maps (http://maps.yahoo.com/) :D

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories

I was wondering why the maps take up 5 times as much space than they are supposed to. As I downloaded the maps, it said downloading 0.1 mb, 1.12 mb, 15 mb etc. and when I added it in my head it was no more than 50 mb. But when I go to the map file, it's 250+ mb. Do I have some kind of setting wrong or what?

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories

Hi All,
I'm having a problem updating the maps for (Google Satellite), the download always fails.
This http://kh.google.com/... URL seems to be ever changing!!

I tried the latest one posted in this thread by namorvx
http://kh.google.com/kh?v=36&z=%0d&x=%d&y=%d

and it actually worked a couple of weeks ago, but not anymore..

namorvx, you mentioned in your post that you've been able to figure out the change in the URL by reviewing the source code, could you please instruct us (n00bs :)) how we could do that..

I tried to check the source code on "http://maps.google.com/" but in vain....

Many Thanks for your help in advance!

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories

Thanks for the repos..

My problem (well 2 or 3 problems) is that when mapper does download, I only get the folder structure. No images?
2nd one of folders it creates has special permissions now I can't delete? (I'll have to run as admin to remove but that's a bug I'll try to report)
3rd It's not downloading anything now, it just say "all done!"

What am I doing wrong.

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories

There is a nice repository for the King County, WA, which is quite useful for hiking:
http://gismaps.kingcounty.gov/roadalert/

It has hi-resolution aerial photos and road-alert overlays with URLS like this:

http://gismaps.kingcounty.gov/ArcGIS...le/6/38/49.jpg

Unfortunately, I could not run it inside MM. Any ideas how to do this?

So don't worry, nothing's wrong. Maemo Mapper's estimates are just inaccurate.

I understand, but it could be a kind of scaling matrix or something like that to convert one set of numbers into another, which could be configured in repository info, so if we can match coordinates, we could use the repository. Are these numbers just hard-coded?

I could technically add another option to specify the reference point, but since King County is the only website (that I know of) to use such a reference point, it wouldn't make sense from a general standpoint. It would be useless for >99.99% of use cases.

If you feel strongly about it, feel free to modify the source code and make a .deb that understands King County's peculiarities. Or, if enough people care about it, then someone else will do so. That's the power of open source, after all.

Thanks for reply. I was not asking to do that for me. I was just asking if it is done already. From priorities point of view, sure, we need other things first. Personally, I want to return google terrain.

And as I said, I understand your reluctance to fight this, so if you say "No," it will make me sad, not angry.

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories

As I have already mentioned earlier in this thread, the largest newspaper of Costa Rica has a much more detailed map of the country than the regular Google street map, even though this map seems to be based on Google maps:
http://lnmapas.nacion.co.cr/maps/index.shtml

Sometimes a real good map would be a blessing in this country, where street signs are between rare and no existent.

I have tried to tinker with that map to use it in MaemoMapper, but to no avail. I simply do not know enough about that stuff. I wonder if one of the experts in this matter could have a look on the source of that maps in order to find out if there is a usable repository available.

I could, of course, ask the people at the newspaper. But I am pretty sure that they know even less about MM than I do.

Yes, it works for me too...

...but only for the first few maps each time. There must be some kind of download limit. I think I get about a hundred tiles each time before it fails.

I've now noticed that after I hit the limit, Google Maps blocks any kind of satellite view from my IP address for the next 24 hours.

This greatly upsets other members of my family (who use Firefox on the same IP address), so no more Google Satellite on Maemo Mapper for me.
