If you want to use Google Maps, then this is a

valid URL format:



http://mt.google.com/mt?n=404&v=w2.99&x=%d&y=%d&zoom=%d



(Note: there may be legal issues with using Google

Maps in Maemo Mapper; I cannot be held responsible

for the consequences of such use.)



The differences from your URL format are:

1. Use "mt" instead of "maps".

2. "n" value ("404" vs. your "4048")

3. "v" value ("w2.99" vs. your "2.99")

4. Use "%d" for the "x", "y", and "zoom" values.



The URL format, by the way, cannot simply be

entered into a browser and expected to work.

The %d strings need to be replaced with valid

data. For example, try 4, 6, and 13:



http://mt.google.com/mt?n=404&v=w2.99&x=4&y=6&zoom=13





As for Mapquest, there is currently no suitable

interface for using Maemo Mapper with Mapquest.





I'm sorry that there is no real documentation

besides what is in the ITT forums. I haven't had

the opportunity to develop or maintain any kind

of documentation. If anyone wants to volunteer

to write some, I'd certainly be willing to give

you access to the garage documentation pages

(which are currently empty) and the in-program

Help files (which are basically empty).

When he says "a browser" I have no idea whether he means Mapper's browser or Firefox. So I configured the URL in both ways: just as listed, and with the %d.

Your way works, though! I now have a map of the whole world. Thanks, I'm to step one.
