Hi Martin.

First of all, congratulations for your excellent job. I appreciate very much.

I'm facing serious problems when trying to batch download an area for my Google Map layer. Downloading "on the fly" is (almost) always efficient and fast, even via cellular network, but the batch downloading always fails - with few exceptions.

My /home/user/.modrana/map_config.conf sets "http://mt1.google.com/vt/"
as the url where the Google Maps are supposed to live, but opening such an url with my browser gives the error message "Your client has issued a malformed or illegal request. That's all we know.". Is this the issue?

A good solution could the Sqlite batch import scrip discussed at
http://modrana.org/trac/wiki/SQLiteT...rtPerlScriptEN. The
problem here is that the perlscript mapconvert I've downloaded
from http://www.beermad.org.uk/mapconvert doesn't work in my linux box running Fedora: the error message is "install_driver(SQLite)
failed: Can't locate DBD/SQLite.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/local/lib/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl
/usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .) at (eval 5)
line 3. Perhaps the DBD::SQLite perl module hasn't been fully installed,
or perhaps the capitalisation of 'SQLite' isn't right. Available drivers:
DBM, ExampleP, File, Gofer, Proxy, Sponge, mysql. at ./mapconvert line 24".

Which are the packages required? According to the listed dependencies, it seems that the rpm packages perl-DBI and perl-DBD-MySQL should meet the requirements, but, although I've installed them, I get the previous mentioned perl error message.

Thank you very much for any help.
