Hmmm... I bet that's the problem. What do you specify as your URI?

http://www.i40.com

Looks like a blog page to me - I'm getting redirected maybe? Is that exactly your URI???

I'd try one of these URI's - works for me.

Re: Not downloading maps

OS2006.
Problem with either this url: http://mt.google.com/mt?n=404&v=w2.11&x=%d&y=%d&zoom=%d
or this one:
http://mt.google.com/mt?n=404&v=ap.6&x=%d&y=%d&zoom=%d

I am using a patched version of Maemo-mapper that supports two settings, but the problem still exists if I go back to gnuites 1.0.1 version as well.

I have about 250MB of the street map already downloaded.

I also have a setting for satillite maps and that was working fine until a moment ago and just stopped with the same problem as the street maps.

I have a 1GB MMC card installed.

Edited to add more information:
Directories appear to be created but the jpgs are not added. All the directories are empty.

I can copy a jpg that was downloaded previously when it was still working into an empty directory just fine.


Another update:
Satilite maps started to work again, but only for some zoom levels. I did clean up my MMC card a bit. I am only 33% full on the card.

My current theory is it is a VFAT problem either due to the number of directories or the number of files.

Another update:

Satillite maps work on Zoom level 4 and above, but not Zoom 0,1,2,3.
Road maps don't work on any Zoom level now.

I wonder if Google is on to us...

I think google have changed their map sites. All other sites that refer to mt.google.com and kh.google.com show the same symptoms as Maemo Mapper and manual typing of what-we-should-now-probably-call-"old" urls.

A quick look at the javascript in maps.google.com reveals new hostnames mt0.google.com and such, but with urls that appear to have a different naming convention (at least for the magic n= and v= arguments.

seems to be working for me?

Did the rfcomm patch ever get implemented in maemo-mapper? If not is there a bin of 1.01 floating around anywhere?

This is the best software on the 770. Thanks for what you've brought to this community, gnuite (JC).

I can't wait now for Flite.

I also wish that someone would compile all of the Maemo Mapper information to date in one post and make it Sticky as the first post in the Apps folder. I mean, this post has just under 6000 hits... it's time to compile the instructions for the new 770/GPS owners out there.

One idea... could we have two URI fields? Have one kind of map set for detail levels 3-top but assign a different mapset to 0-2 for whatever reasons? We might want the the URI with actual pictures for street level and google lined for higher up, or vice versa...

More Praise:
I already had the 770 for numerous reasons ... but thanks to you, I got a GPS mapping system for only $90 more (price of the i-blue). No need for a Tom Tom for $700 !!

Heheh.... Take care, gnuite.

Suggestions:


A: Car Speed Alarm

For those with lead feet and no cruise control... what about a
quick feature that allows us to set a max speed and sets off an
alarm when we cross the line? Give us the option of a default
sound or allow us to choose our own from /mmc.
-----------------------------------------------------------

B: Info Box Settings

Allow us a choice of font size for the Info Box...? Heh, my dash is so far away the text looks like specks... need to ramp it up some. Or even give option for Full-Screen flicker... just .5 to 1.0 of a second onscreen if Info Box is in full-screen mode, or just make the white area around text partially transparent...?
-----------------------------------------------------------

C: Us. . . We the blue-dotted of Maemo......

Can we be a triangle showing us our orientation instead?
-----------------------------------------------------------

D: Total Miles

When we load a route, for the first few seconds after the green line pops up, can we have an info screen dislay the Total Miles of the Trip?
-----------------------------------------------------------

E: Dim screen by hardware key

In day, I want it bright, but as nights falls, it's too bright. I don't want to to have to stop to turn it down... only two buttons are left to map... the home key and the one above it... maybe these could be mapped to Brightness Down/Brightness Up?
-----

And finally, a question: How do we use the Auto Center features? I hoped by clicking the Lead amount up, I would be able to see more of the route left to travel than what I'd already travelled onscreen, but I stay in the center always no matter what.

Thanks, I hope these suggestions are okay.
