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?

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!

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.

Does anyone have a repository entry for the maps.live.com bird's eye view?

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
http://gismaps.kingcounty.gov/ArcGIS...le/6/38/52.png
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.
