Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

Nope, not for me. Even after restarting, Google Satellite insists on deporting me to Russia. But I'm fine with VE Satellite.

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

This is indeed working perfectly for me too.

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

I never use satellite. I'm not able to download sqlite3map tiles using street view tiles now. I'm using:
http://mt.google.com/mt?x=%d&y=d&zoom=%d
Is that not current?

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

I have the same problem. does it work for anyone?

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

Maemo Mapper with Google map is down for me too. None of the URL work. I got GoogleMapMobile works on my GVM. Sigh...

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

Do you mean Google Street bun? If so it's down for me too...I was just about to download some maps for my trip to a friend's graduation party tomorrow too.

Edit: GF tells me Google is having issues (she has problems with Gmail).

Haha I guess I could call up my friend interning at Google this summer and yell at her for breaking Google.

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

No. All googles for the maemo mapper is DOWN for me, including whatever other URLs people are posting, none whatsoever works. I am using the palm/gvm, that GoogleStreetMobile is working like a charm. It is not any mapper, it is a googlemobile app thing. It works. One of the few time, the palm/GVM save my day.

Just in case you have not been interested in palm/gvm before;
On your winPC, google garnet VM beta for nokia, put in your email address, gvm will send you a dl link to dl gvm.deb, very straight forward, dl into your tablet, click on the gvm.deb, it will install via app manager (absolutely NO dependence problem :0) ). somehow on your winPC, go google mobile home>products, there is a map there, dl into your gvm desktop, it is called googlemap.install, click it, it will install googlemapmobile in a few seconds. You are done. Basically it is a map for the mobile phone. I use pocketlink in gvm and dl directly into gvm desktop and click and install. It is very basic, very user friendly, but it gets the work done, give you a route/direction and nearby business. Cant remember whether it works with BT GPS.

Back to mameomapper, openstreet and yahoostreet works. Yahoostreet is, somehow, a lot faster than openstreet, not quite sure why.

If you goin to yell at the Google summer intern for breaking google even before showing up to work, add my share too :-),

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

Haha, it's just a joke. She graduated with a 4.0 in Computer Science and she's also interned at Microsoft for a summer too (they offered her a job but she turned it down since she's returning to Maryland for a Masters in Fall).

But wait Google vs. Microsoft, that might be why *gasp*

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

My daughter is a 1st yr grad student this summer and FAILed to find any paid summer internship. She is going to accept a 'volunteer' internship at NY and I have to pick up the tab for an apartment in NY for couple month :( , sounds like a joke to me. I guess its the econonmy? Maybe I should bring to her attention about Microsoft?

Here's a working Street Map URL:

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

THANK YOU SmokyBG, it WORKED! It does NOT work with sqlite3 dl, but it does work with the legacy. Thanks again,

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

I tried to do my homework and failed miserably: How to stop the maemoMapper from trying to connect when you are off line or simply not interested to connect? It keeps on trying no matter what my connectivity settings are. TIA,

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

Is there another source for sqlite3 maps since google's repository is not functioning?

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

Hi folks.. I think my brain must be broken.. I'm trying to figure out how to/ if I can build a repository from the mapfan.com english maps..
Page: http://www.mapfan.com/en/en_m.cgi
Maptile format: (the set of 4)
http://en.mapfan.com/cgi-bin/map/mfw...)N35.9.22.(128)
http://en.mapfan.com/cgi-bin/map/mfw...)N35.9.22.(128)
http://en.mapfan.com/cgi-bin/map/mfw...N35.10.37.(128)
http://en.mapfan.com/cgi-bin/map/mfw...N35.10.37.(128)

Do I have a chance here, and I should keep slogging and try to figure it out, is it just not compatible, or is it so simple that someone can point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance, eh?

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

It seems Google have changed the URL again, this now works for me:

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

I wish I could thank you a million times!

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

sounding like an idiot doesnt bother me much, so here it goes...

what is the benefit to using these maps? is it purely graphical, or is it an updatedness issue? thanks.

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

Ok, teach a man to fish. How did you discover that URL?

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

Let me tell you it took a lot of pain. I'm looking to use maemo-mapper for a road trip through Europe in the near future and was tearing my hair out trying to get the maps downloaded. I had googled this forum and just about every other resource i can find to get more information on the map tile servers. If you are interested in the URL formats this is one of the best resources i have found: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/scrapb...?display=Print unfortunately it still references older links.

Eventually after much confusion inspiration struck, all i did was go to the Google maps web page, right clicked on a tile and checked its source URL. Yes it is that simple (-:

LES..

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

So I tried using my existing GStreet database file with the new URL but it won't work.. (anyone else get that working?)

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

It seems satellite maps on google maps homepage isnt even working...can anyone confirm this?

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

URL from LES.. works, I just checked,
http://mt.google.com/vt/v=w2.97&hl=en&x=%d&y=%d&zoom=%d

This google map is very uptodate! I occasionally switch to yahoo map because of one segment of highway keeps missing from Google map and is now corrected. Good finding LES..

Want to 2nd guess why Google changing the URL? Too much log in, too little revenue, or just simply want to shake off some Nokia leeches :( ?

bun

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

Bun, that url is for google street maps, Im wanting google satellite.

munky261, hold your horse, i m googling...... The above post is for Laughing Man

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

Soooo I'm not the only one that is having Google Maps problems in Maemomapper (as in can't finish downloading maps though traffic seems to show up).

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

Worked for me. Thanks! (I've stuck with the older maemo mapper before sqlite.)

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

URL from LES.. works, I just checked,
http://mt.google.com/vt/v=w2.97&hl=en&x=%d&y=%d&zoom=%d

hi bunanson, where do i put this url into the m.mapper dialogue (to be able to download street maps again)? btw., thank you so much for this amazing application!

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

Still with the stalls this morning. Got to switch to open maps and because of how they color in highways I'm going to have to change my default route and track colors.

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

MaemoMapper>Menu>Maps>Manage Repositories...>New... Put a name, say newgoogle> enter the link to URL Format>OK

Menu>Maps select the above map newgoogle and click Auto-Download

Enjoy,

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

munky261:

Google have become very unforgiving about use of their satellite tiles. If you download a few tiles from Maemo Mapper, it will suddenly stop working, and not just in Maemo Mapper, but everywhere from any computer on your home network (sharing the same Internet IP address). So it will seem broken even on Google maps (you'll get the "we're sorry, we have no imagery for this zoom" or whatever the message is).

Thankfully, the ban is only temporary, but they'll gladly slap you down again if you try again.

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

This sucks. "208 maps failed to download" What's going on? I can get traffic fine.

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

Absolutely no worky for me.

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

Would adding a small and/or random delay between tile downloads mimic the manual interaction of working in a browser? If I get time I might try simulating this.

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

Dont mean to ignore you, dont know what else one can try. If googlemap failed me, I go with yahoo street, they are an order of magnitude faster than open street and their stuff also appears more up to date.

Or try to go PC to googlemap for a couple of time, see whether that will unlock you from the block list!?

bun

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

thanks dude. I've already switched to openstreet and thankfully they have traffic too, but I don't like all the color on the maps, particularly the different colors for different highways. It's hard to follow the route when the backgrounds keep changing.

So long as one of them works I'm good. Maybe it's good that I have get away from Google. Thing is though, I don't know how I got on the "leech list" since I've not downloaded many maps from them and certainly. My googlemap db was only 135MB.

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

How you get the display like the default image on the maemo mapper download page? I just have the plain map.

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

I am in the same boat, no freaking idea that I was blocked. And I quiet down for a couple of week, and, boom, all of the a sudden, the new link worked for me. I am still blocked on the old google link. And me too, as long as one map work, it will be fine. I am NOT a google fan either.

bun

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

You need to enable one of the satellite map repositories.

From the maemo-mapper menu select Maps->Manage Repositories....

On the top drop-down box select one of the one of the satellite options i.e Google satellite or VE Satellite or Yahoo satellite.

Click OK.

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

I have been looking at the page info for google maps using firefox and it looks like there is an extra s= field in the url that has the word Galileo appended one letter at a time for each tile. Perhaps it is this that is being used to prevent leeching.
