Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

Hi everybody. It seems I'm not a lurker anymore, but there was a lot to read :) so I'd like first to thank mapper developers for such a cool app.

Everything ran fine in my brand new n800, from installation to the use of WMS Terraserver repository (I also installed proj.). So, I tried to add a pair of new repositories from two well-known local wms servers

My plan is to use Spanish cadastral maps ( layer for properties, identification numbers, adresses, etc):
http://www.catastro.meh.es/esp/servi...dos1.asp#menu5
(apart from detailed data, this link includes a pdf with examples getting maps from wms)

and Sigpac maps (Spain digital ortophotos) within maemo mapper.
http://sigpac.mapa.es/fega/visor/

At least in Spain,
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index....asources#Spain
they cover many areas better than google satellite and, even much better than, VE satellite:

At Goolzoom http://www.goolzoom.com/ you'll see a gogglemaps mashup using both of them, catastro and sigpac.

But there, I got stuck. As in Terraserver example, http://www.terraserver-usa.com/ogcma...PTIONS=INIMAGE
I managed to get an image but I cannot translate it into a request to a wml server to add a new repository within maemo mapper:
http://ovc.catastro.meh.es/Cartograf...reaspect=false

When I try to get a general URL to get an answer from WMS server changing some data (BBOX and WIDTH or HEIGHT, keeping in mind there are different EPSG codes) I got lost (I'm just a map lover, trying to follow some other examples got frm community) I got a blank screen or it fails to download maps.

And same happens when I tried with Sigpac or as in this example with Sitga (Galician Sigpac)
http://ideg.xunta.es/wms/request.asp...reaspect=false

Any tip to come unstuck?

Thank you!

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

Anyone had any luck with Mulitmap yet ?
I'm really keen on getting something that would be good for hiking.

Excellent software by the way. Especially with all the different map types that can be selected.

Thanks,

Can somebody help me to write URI for the site ow www.probki.net?
This is the best map and traffic information of St.Petersburg (Russia) with the frequently updates. I described format of his script in the next future request

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories scandinavian maps and 3d navigation
 

Could some body help port eniro's excellent maps to maemo mapper.

Eniro has operations in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark and Poland. So it would help many users

http://kartat.eniro.fi/ - Finland
http://kartor.eniro.se/ - Sweden
http://kort.eniro.dk/ - Denmark
http://mapa.pf.pl/ - Poland, looks like different engine for time being atleas
- Norway doesn't seem to have maps yet.

In some countries eniro has also very hi resolution areal photographs in 4 major directions ! (north, east, south and west) they have been supplied by Blom Aerofilms photography and digital map solutions. They have this thing called Pictometry navigation. Check out amazing video on their website
http://www.blomasa.com/en

Simply astonishing, working 3D navigation system !
Could it be possible to maemo mapper and eniro areals used like 3D Photonav?

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

I just took a look at the above map links.

probki is not google map compatible system, totally different.

Interesting thing is that eniro indeed uses the same google map numbering system to name its tiles, but its whole map tiles are arranged around Stockholm, including service for other countries!

So the central tile with Stockholm at its center is always (0, 0), toward east x goes 1, 2..., west -1, -2, etc.

It's possible to rip its tiles and translate them into google numbering system. But its map tiles is not 1 for 1 match with google tiles. There is a goe position shift for every tile, because google doesn't put Stockholm at the center of the tile. So the software has to be changed to incooperate that offset, or you force the mapper to a particular location with the new lat, lon values, it has that capability.

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

I know, but it's system uses lon/lat, so any gps program can use it very simple.

OTOH, probki.net is the _best_ map of the St.Petersburg (with very frequent updates) and one of the best maps of Moscow.

P.S. I remind you, the population of St.Petersburg is about 4.5 mln, and Moscow - about 18 Mln. And I know, some of these peoples uses Maemo :-)

Hi gnuite, could you please correct the Osmarender url in your first post ? The other is old and this one is up to date ! Thanks.

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

Done. Thanks for the tip.

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

I added a weather overlay to the list, courtesy of Scott Dier. It puts colored pixels on a black background to give indications of rainfall. It's limited to the U.S., but it's cool nonetheless.

In the future, I may add support to Maemo Mapper for overlaying multiple repositories on top of each other - it might be cool to see a weather overlay on top of, e.g., OpenStreetMap's map.

Re: Maemo Mapper Repositories
 

Good idea, this could also be great to see the uncovered OpenStreetMap roads compared to others (with some transparency).
