I'm totally confused on how to run winmapper. I brought up the interface and filled in 40.1, -84.1 for the top left and 40.0, -84.0 for the bottom right. I selected zoom level 6. I clicked on Download for top left and got the error message: "System error: -2146697210. Line: 0"

Ignoring that, I selected region and street towards the bottom and the clicked on Download at the very bottom and it procedded to download something and then gave me a popup saying All Don!

I went to the directory where the maps were supposed to be stored and found under directory 6, I found two subdirectories: 545 and 546. Both directories were empty.

Is there a user manual for winmapper or at least a sample for using it?

I downloaded by city name and it downloaded great. I transferred it to my mem card and installed. I changed the map repository to the new folder on my mem card, but can't seem to get it to work.

I also moved them to the "maps" folder on the internal memory, but still no luck. Can someone tell me how to do this, please?

Are you doing this from your PC with winmapper then downloading to N770? And how do you find the long & lat coordinates.
Thanks, JB

In my case I made up the lat/lon coordinates. I know that they cover a block of terrain in my area. I would like to see a simple step-by-step list of how to use winmapper.

I would as well. I downloaded the maps for San Deigo on my sd card, but not sure what I do to get maemomapper to read those. Also even when I'm in offline mode, maemomapper always yells at me to go to online mode. Any way to disable this?

I downloaded from http://ioanghip.googlepages.com/winmapper.htm . It tried to download map, it created lots of directories but all are empty. I tried searching this forum, but couldn''t find any remedy. Does anybody else had this problem ? Any pointers to fix this (empty dirs) problem will also help.

Thanks.

Same story here. I tried winmapper a few days ago using known latlong corners and gots lots of empty subdirectories. I gave up.

Looks like a very useful program but I am missing some key parameter to make it work!

I removed the proxy server I was behind and connected directly to the net and then winmapper worked like a charm.

Wow, great news for you, too bad for me . I can pre-authenticate to my proxy server but disabling it altogether is a deal breaker. I wish there were some way around this.
