What does this mean and what should I do to be able to get more:
The number of results for at least one of the cells seems to have hit the maximum, you may want to try larger divisors, and therefore smaller radius for yahoo.
Anyone else having problem with local.live today?
Are you using the advanced mode? If so, make sure you update with 'get numbers'. If not, try using advanced mode. You will notice in advanced mode that when you click get numbers, you'll get an 'x' and a 'y' numbers. unfortunately, these have to be whole numbers. which means that your coverage isnt as flexible as you want it to be. tough. I just made a bigger map and trim out the unneccessary tiles in the tiles selection.
ZSC - Are these instruction for a POI file? Because that is when I get this error.
sorry, that was for JoQ
is this bit new i'm sure i looked there a couple of days ago when trying to sort this?Quote:

You need to split that area in to segments by punching in latitude/longitude dividers...Quote:

in7ane,
You may want to include a new set of icons with the next release.. Check this thread for details/updates:

deniska, sorry about that, just in case you want to test it - I've gotten a hold on the unix permissions thing and it should download now (I'll test 4096 and up). I'll put the icons in for the next version, just finishing up some OSM features that nobody will use :)
in7ane: Maybe you could fix up the following things in GMDL:
-Making routes more simple. I mean auto poi/route making after you set markers on the map (just like in mapthis mode).
-Making more clear which zoom level's are downloaded and which not.
-Preview is something else then what is downloaded is my experience !
hello! Wonderful program. I’m still new to this stuff, I want to know what are this numbers beside Google Map in the select Map Source do? “w2.43, w2t.40, 15, w2.43” I'm using GMDL 0.4.9b
Thanks:)
Hi in7ane, sorry for the late response. I haven't had time to mess around with this lately. Here are some screenshots of sample directions using both the default setting and the legacy mode setting with the latest GMDL and latest Map This! beta:Quote:

I realize that the extra lines introduced into the legacy directions are as a result of Map This! interpolating the directions. Is there any way to get the midpoint icons working properly in non-legacy mode so that they're not the same icon as the path points?

And for what button Get Numbers?

Codaz, if you are clicking Pull Tiles under Advanced, you need to click Get Numbers first to match the settings you are seeing when you click Preview 1x, 2x (Show Preview will then show the same as Preview 1x did) - the reason is for when you want to change the area manually by specifying x,y,zooms.
AZImmortal, that's why it's Legacy Mode :) I'll take a look if combining icons is possible under the new way directions are done. Alternatively, deniska, could you not display the icon for anything with WAYPOINT in the name of the point?
leon21ca, they are the historic layers of google maps data (they are read in at startup, so will change as google re-renders), for example you can sometimes get earlier satellite imagery by using a lower number than 15.
DennyPSP, Get Numbers does nothing for MapCruncher maps, for your map you have the following options:
1) wait for deniska to enable 2048 map support (see previous page)
2) set min zoom to a higher number
3) if you want to change the zoom you also need to change x and y, specify zoom=12, x=19, y=9 (zooming in by multiplying x,y by 2 then scrolling across and down by adding 1 to x and y) then click Show Preview

My full maps 4048 map :( Big town
What dependence between numbers?
Zoom 13
x 9
y 4
Zoom 12
x 19
y 9
How to calculate following ZOOM it is independent
Zoom 11,10,9 etc
Get Numbers work super with MapCruncher maps of my town, but max ZOOM 5
When I move a map on axes X and Y that is displayed full map but only Zoom 5, it is impossible to increase display more or to make in manual?
Thanks
Thanks for all the time you're putting into this. If the icon wasn't displayed, I'd assume that there would still be a way to have the waypoint text be displayed on-screen? I'm talking about the distance remaining (and upcoming turn if it's enabled).Quote:

deniska, AZImmortal, the new directions format is now in.
Also Local.Live maps now have the navigation in Local.Live (road, hybrid and satellite is supported).
DennyPSP, when you decrease zoom by 1 multiply x and y by 2 - then you get the left topmost tile zoomed in. This has a lot more on the issue: http://mapki.com/wiki/Automatic_Tile...Tile_Structure
in7ane, got a question, I had created a large and had checked the box to 'fill missing tiles'. as a result, I noticed that I got a lot of "empty" image files. by "empty" I mean a solid color image file. I get that they're the "fillers". well, since I had only selected 5x5 tiles out of the 8x8 tiles, there are a lot of these fillers, especially on my 8>-1 zoom map.
anyway, my question is this, do I need these fillers? since this is a new feature, my guess would be that mapthis should still work without the fillers, I just want to know if it's better to have them.
To in7ane,
(when you decrease zoom by 1 multiply x and y by 2 - then you get the left topmost tile zoomed in. This has a lot more on the issue: http://mapki.com/wiki/Automatic_Tile...Tile_Structure[/QUOTE])
I cannot understand as there multiply and add...
Can you will tell as you has counted for 12 zoom my map write PLEASE
Suggestion a new feature:
We can browse downloaded map files like Mapthis does on a PSP. By this way, we can test the map data before transferinh it into PSP.
hello. I'm having a problem with downloading google maps. it was working fine before but don't know why now everytime I finished download the maps and it's converting to GPSFS after it done, it says:
"something went wrony, invalid dir, GPSFS already exists, etc." and it shows the folder location of the map been downloaded " + is where it's (temp) at never having made it to" the folder I point to " (if different)"
The folder I point to is made with "_" in the front, and all the maps tiles are in that folder and all looks ok. and if I click the "->GPSFS" button under the progress it will then create all five GPSFS files for me, but when I copy them to the MS and load it up in Map This 047 or 048 it just freeze for a while and shut down the unit. Can any one help me out, please!!
I'm using firmware 3.10 OE-A2 and PSP-290, and I have tried on 3.03 OE-B it does the same.
Thanks
I'm new here and I need some help. I am trying to build the map for Toronto Canada, I use the map download program to get the map of Toronto and after it was done, i look into the _Toronto folder I didnt find the geodata.dat file, how am I be able to make this file ? I have the Sony PSP GPS device, is it without the geodata.dat file, I cannot make it work with Map This right?
geodata.dat is for street address resolution only..Quote:

you should still be able to get the maps, and perhaps POIS, using the tool...
Your Toronto folder should include either 5 GPSFS* files or subfolders with map tiles.... and it should work in MapThis.. if it does not - try describing what you do in greater detail (perhaps sharing your map online) so other could help you..
I second this very strongly.Quote:

Deniska, any comment on this?
I could not find any problems with in7ane's map files for quite awhile. every time I find an issue - it turns out to be my bug, lol..
But sure, if he is willing to setup a better testing tool - I am up for it...
In my experience, maps usually get corrupted on the MS as a result of unexpected shutdowns...
In any case, here is yet another beta, addressing some of the issues and possibly introducing new ones :-)
http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/sho...d=1#post368627
I too like to see a tool that can browse downloaded map before copy them to the MS.
I also have a suggestion feature for the GMDL, maybe can be put in on the next release. that is a close button for the 8x8 tile window. because once click on the "pull tiles" the 8x8 pop up window can not be close, sometime once I see how the map been cut up in tile, i want to make some changes to the map position or zoom, but no way to close the window and make the changes. not any way that I know of it. if there already a way to go back, can you tell me how? but still be easier just have a button on top of the pop up window to close it and go back to the Browser window.
DennyPSP, subtract 1 from zoom and multiply x and y by 2 to zoom into the top left tile, it works like this (zoom 13 9,4 then zoom 12 18,8 then zoom 11 36,16, etc. while to move about the x is like the standard x axis, while the y is inverse - y=0 is at the north pole and as you go south it increases):
http://www.in7ane.com/psp/posts/tile_structure.png
zsc, the filler tiles are no longer needed (they were a work around for a bug a few versions back that I forgot to remove) - I'll disable the option in the next release.
Regarding the map tester/browser - I'll include a tester that loads (flashes?) every image into a Bitmap to see if it's ok and gives a report on how many total/missing/specified/ok/bad tiles there are (it'll take quite a while to run for large maps I imagine), is this what deniska and MIB.42 want? For a browser, you do realize that it will probably be not particularly user friendly (nothing like an offline version of google maps, more like what you see on multimap.com) do you still think there is a use for it then?
leon21ca, could you post the settings for the map you were downloading when creating GPSFS failed (can you check that you didn't run out of space), I'll take a look at it (though this is going to be something that's a bit hard to replicate I imagine). I'll put in a cancel button out of the detail selection screen in the next version.
I download the new GMDL 0.4.10b and test it out last night, and this time everything work out ok, I didn't get the GPSFS failed message. I'm not sure is it something that I did wrong before most likly that's the case, or the new release fixed the problem somehow. I'll try to download a big detailed map over 1,300,000 tiles of south Ontario and US boarder without the GeoData to see if it gives me any error or not. it will take me a while to download that about a day. so I'll keep you posted if something come up again.
And Thank you for taking my suggestion. keep up the great work :)
deniska & in7ane: Thanks for implementing the new features for directions. It's exactly what I wanted. :thumbup:
in7ane, here is some suggestions to make your tool even better (feel free to disregard ;-)) :
1) removing old/legacy stuff - to clean up the space on screen (for example, i doubt that anyone uses [oGPSFS] button
2) display download progress (%) on taskbar while minimized
3) Help baloons, for main labels/components
For instance, not too many people know what "No GPSFS" check box really means and weather they need to check it..so little explanation (read from some config file?) would reduce the number of questions/complains that people post...
Hey in7ane...I was busy for few days..and when I got back to your prog..I had a really nice surprise.Glad you took the trouble to implement my suggestion...I really love your prog...hope that I'll be able to give more recommendations after trying out this new version.Thanks alot...you and deniska are up there with DAX and Booster in my eyes....GREAT WORK GUYS...
To in7ane
Thanks you huge at me all has turned out, except for this get numbers too works it is just necessary x and y to divide on 2...
But now other problem when I press Pull Tiles there is a map and some levels of approximation 64x 32x 16x 8x 4x 2x 1x, first and last I cannot remove, and others 32 16 8 4 2 when on what that of them I remove a mark, at opening on PSP which I have not chosen empty white background that levels shows

To deniska :
Thank you for your relpy, i now get the map be able to view if i use map this v0460 running 1.5 , however, if i use map this 0461s beta running under 3.11 through devhook, everytime when i start the program, it gives out a error message menu say "Loading USB Accessory module ...... error" , may I ask you how to fix it cuz i dont want to flash my PSP with 3.10OE or 0461s beta will only work under 3.10OE ? I already copy the usbacc.prx from 3.11 fw and the usbgps from maplus but i never be able to get Map This start, where should I copy the src folder to MS ? the root or inside game folder?
Thank you for your help.
kogetsu,
0461S requires 2 prx files which you have to extract from the 3.** firmware in order to make it work...
If you don't plan to use the program with psp-290 gps recever you may want to get a most current generic beta version of MapThis.
in any case search thru the 0.4* version release threads. they have the nifo on how to extract the required prx files and release info for the latest beta versions...
I downloaded the 0.461S from your site http://deniska.dcemu.co.uk/ and I did extract the usbacc.prx from 3.11 FW and usbgps from both 3.11 FW and maplus and they both doesnt work, the only different is, from your 0.461S nfo file it said you tested it under 3.03OE but I am using devhook to turn my PSP from 1.5 to 3.11 and then run Map This under 3.11 environment, the program loads up but give me the error msg. hmm....maybe thats why I didnt work. thank you for your reply and I will test it under 3.10 OE again and let you know if it works or not. Also, from the nfo, it didn't mention where I should put the SRC folder to and I suspect thats the reason why it didnt work, thus I would like to ask should I copy the SRC folder to the root of the MS or inside the game folder? thank you for your help
To deniska:
One more thing, I am using the sony PSP-290 GPS receiver thats why I try to get it work with your 0.461S. Thank you for your help.
http://www.in7ane.com/psp/gmdl0.4.11b.zip
deniska, % done is now in the menu bar, I'll have a go at implementing help via tool tips loaded from a file (similar to how translation works).
deniska, MIB.42, testing of GPSFS maps is in (and it takes forever), let me know if this is what you had in mind (it would be good to get a copy of a corrupted map to test it, if anyone has one - could they please post it).
A viewer of GPSFS maps is also in - with a poor interface as promised (perhaps someone wants to write a plugin for World Wind?).
leon21ca, a cancel button has been added to the detail selection screen.
DennyPSP, the black background is a result of transparent PNGs being converted to JPEG (if you leave the JPEG checkbox checked you should get it). While skipped levels will always get the grey checkered missing tile background (you could change the blank.png in mapViewer/system but that's probably not a good idea).
My corrupt map is posted in the discussion forum, topic my psp hangs and then dies. You'll find the Divshare link there.
It has a download hole in it, so it chrashes mapthis versions 0.461S and 0.48
excellent work in7ane! GPSFS viewer works great! now we all can browse the maps before copy it to MS. Thanks for the cancel button, it make thing lot easier now. ;-) Keep up the good work! :-)
