Windows maps download tool for MapThis! by in7ane

[in7ane]

Another, 0.0505b, update of GMDL, mainly to draw a line under some bug fixes and not particularly major features (should get some free time starting in May to work on it again): http://www.in7ane.com/psp/gmdl.html

List of changes:

maps.yahoo.com is now partially supported (US - native 256x256 instead of 258x258, all works except for overlay)
Export to iPhone (SQLite 64x64 tile DB), pretty much done now, imports pins from KML, may add directions later; see: http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/showthread.php?t=22320
Basic resume functionality, resume.txt stores: source, zoom, x, y, min_zoom, force_jpeg (create a map and read resume.txt for instructions)
POI now has a Limit: setting (100 by default) since Google seems to disregard area constraints
FreeMap.co.il is added (not really GPS compatible, but roughly in the correct map area)

Bolemichel: see the above link, it will always point at the latest semi-stable release, alternatively the very latest is the one with the highest version (and usually an a) in http://www.in7ane.com/psp/

kohht: streetdirectory.com is incompatible in its projection (there is something of a list of what is not working at http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Global_...ol#Not_Working )

CLAUDIOGPS: to use the rendered MapCruncher tiles, from http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Global_...MapCruncher.29
1. Select MapCruncher as the Map Source
2. Click Set next to that and select the directory containing the tiles (Layer_NewLayer by default)
3. Click Pull Tiles under the Advanced section which pops up (rather than Download The Map)

itaibe: will take a look at those.

porting some of the stuff to java or SDL would be nice, as lots of people ask for non-windows/platform independent version...

i agree (i'm linux user) (or port .NET -> Mono)

Hi all! First of all I want to say thank you very much for this wonderful tool! It simplifies everyone's life!

My question is: I've downloaded the map of Costa Rica from google maps but it's not detailed enougth, so I found this web site that provides a "layer" to Costa Rica's maps. It uses google maps and this is the URL to get the images: "http://crmap.com/maps/"+(a.x)+"_"+(a.y)+"_"+(b)+".gif".
Is there any way to download these tiles instead of google's?

I really need this detailed map!!! Do you have any tips? Thank you very much in advance!!

The projection seems to be exactly the same as google maps so it should be relatively easy to use these tiles:

Perhaps in7ane could look in to it...
