Problem in making a map with GMDL

Hello everybody, i'am new on this forum and sorry for my english, i'am french :p

I'am coming to get some help about making a map, because in french forums it seems they don't know my problem.

So here it is:

I just want to create a map of my city. I followed many tutorials that was the same.
Here is the list of what i did:
- I launched "Global Map Download Tool.exe"
- I begin by searching my city "Montpellier" in France
- then I zoom a bit to see it well (not to the max zoom)
- i named my map "_MONTPELLIER" in the map name.
- I clic on "Download the map"

and here is the message it give me:

"Something not quite right with this page, change to map view (it's fine if there is no detail)"

same error if i try a preview.
I forgot anything ? I tried by cliking "OSM Mapnik", and GeoData, but same error, always.

So I really dunno what to do now as I can't continue making a map.

Anyone here may help me please?
I really want to make a map.

many thanks!!
:thumbup:

Yes, I'm from Singapore and I'm getting the same problem. You can try to switch to "Microsoft Virtual Earth Map", that still works.

I think Google changed something in their maps and in7ane hasn't updated GMDL yet.

thanks for answering!
it work effectively with Microsoft VirtualEarth, hope in7ane will fix it soon!

gmdl0.5.04b

Fixes getting x/y from google, something also seems to have broken with user-agent and webclient (in a recent windows/ie update I think), that's fixed as well - but let me know if anyone still has any problems.

Everything works now =)

i'm having a problem with gmdl.

Basically, i selected my area, downloaded the map, but only AFTER it finished (e.g 2 hrs later), it told me the map could not be found or something, and it deleted the directory.

Any ideas what the problem could be?

Cheers

in 0.5.06 the microsoft vemap type does not work just show up:

Something not quite right with this page, change to map view (it's fine if there is no detail)"

my box is winxp+ie7

thanks

Hello all,

I have the same as the first poster and get the error message :
"Something not quite right with this page, change to map view (it's fine if there is no detail)"
i have tried all the maps (google,MSN and yahoo)
anyone got any ideas its just im going to Toronto and would like a map for my holiday.
Thanks

I have the same problem too... yesterday everything works fine.. but today i got this error message =/

This happened before, I think it's because Google changed some digit here or there. Try matching the URL of an image from actual Google Maps with the URL in GMDL (top left IIRC).
