Windows maps download tool for MapThis! by in7ane

I would like to know if geodata can be used only for US. I have tried to create one for Bucharest (Roamania country) and I couldn't. Can somebody give me a helping hand?

Geodata can be made for a specific region if the data for that region is available. www.openstreetmap.org e.g. has all the data for the Netherlands, so I was able to extract Dutch geodata from there.

If you can find data for Romania anywhere (doubt it, cause it's EU), then you can use/tweak the scripts here: http://stuff.nieko.net/psp/mapthis/geodata/

You will need some programming knowledge for that though.


Btw.: please don't double post.

any changes in israel map or free map convertor ?

CLAUDIOGPS, the View part of GMDL is very basic, so it would not really be possible to to make it display POI's (due to lat/lon conversion and reprojection problems). However you can export a map to a Google Earth overlay, and if it is any use I can make GMDL export _POI to a KML so you can view them there (this would probably be too much hassle for what you are trying to achieve though).

Custom map size is limited by the bitmap in .NET, so unless Microsoft decides that larger bitmaps should be supported and updates .NET it's pretty much set. You may want to take a look at rendering a map with MapCruncher ( http://research.microsoft.com/mapcruncher/ ), which can use arbitrarily large images, and then importing that into GMDL.


itaibe, no updates on maps of Israel yet

in7ane, I have used Mapcruncher to calibrate an image drawn by a scanning of a paper map. I have got a directory with 1260 tiles that however I don't know whether to use with Mapthis!. I have seen if with GMDL something could be done without any result. Is possible to have some suggestion?
