Hehe, I only did little fixes to GMDL (previous one was to proxy server support), I don't know if I'm able to do anything bigger.
I'll try in the future when I'll have some spare time.

And something completely unrelated, if anyone knows of a Peru (or Lima and Cuzco city maps) in google tile or detailed single image form could they please post a link, thanks.

Ok 0.5.02a working fine with YUM..thanks

hi!
i tried mapthis! for psp it works just fine! but i always had errors on it because the supplied maps is new york, im in the philippines. can somebody help me? i tried the gmdl but theres a lot of things to input to get the exact map. im confused. pls help

I don't know if there are maps for Phillipines.

Another minor update to 0.5.02a (if someone makes use of it, suggestions are certainly welcome):

Pull and merge non 256x256 tiles (for use in MapCruncher) -> then YUM then Tile Level Pull Merge: http://www.in7ane.com/psp/posts/TileLevelPullMerge.png note: rendering large (30k x 40k) images takes days in MapCruncher, on a dual 3GHz Xeon with 2GB of RAM, due to scaling

k, I'm a bit new here......I just got my psp downgraded to 1.5 then up to 3.40oea. now how do I get mapthis to work for the states (nation wide) and possibly the middle east, since I'm in Iraq right now. all comments to help I would be thankful for.

hm..iiex wad is the problem uue hav now? mapthis? or psp downgraded?

hi guys,
In GMDL, is there a way that i can download the poi with address in it?
Thanz

wai chai
yes uue can just follow up the step

in7ane how can i merge 2 geodata.dat files?

kohht
can u give me a link for step

rbensyl, follow the various how-to's at the top of http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=170 for setup and US coverage, for the middle east: see what the main providers have, and see what http://www.openstreetmap.org/ has (Baghdad) or just go with the satellite imagery - I think that's reasonably up to date.

fak3, you are really better off recreating the geodata for the larger area, but if you really want to merge two geodata.dat files it's a very manual process (the internal indexes probably overlap - so that would have to be sorted out by hand). If you still want to try it there is an extract and create geodata.dat buttons in the bottom right of the GeoData screen.

thanks for the answer in7ane :)
i live in italy, and as you know geodatas aren't available for europe.. so what i'm trying to do is downloading geodatas of small areas (less than 20k queries) with the gmdl google method, and then merge them.
i think at the moment this is the only way for me to have geodatas at least of my town :(
(sorry for my bad english)

fak3, the google geodata is being completely reworked (with a local cache and therefore incremental downloads) - it will take some time due to other commitments, but I'll get there eventually.

wow, can't wait for that! let me say you rock dude! :thumbup:

hi in7ane,


my problem are the direction_tranlation.txt, i have copy in the debugfolder, but don`t see any kind of change.i think thats for the directions.But when i see the list of points aren´t change.For exemple the name: MIDPOINT=KONTROLLPUNKT but it stays MIDPOINT in the directionslist.

What can i do? Thanks for help............

Hi in7ane I have a dude how can I create geodata with zip codes from a csv, im from Mexico and want to make geodata based in zipcode search

I mean I have

Lon,lat, street name, city, country, zipcode

in my csv file

and I wanna make search like street name and zip code

tnx

Airwave, MIDPOINT is a key word (Map This! uses it) so it can't be translated.

threelancelot, I added support for supplying your own zip codes (they have to be numeric and within 1 to 99999) http://www.in7ane.com/psp/gmdl0.5.02a.zip

check the corresponding checkbox and the format is as follows: zip, lon, lat, name, etc. as before

I'll looking at adding states later - it's a bit more involved.

Thanks In7ane thats what I looking for!!! with this I can complete my geodata for search, Thank you very much for your quick response

[QUOTE=in7ane;524404]Airwave, MIDPOINT is a key word (Map This! uses it) so it can't be translated.

Thanks In7ane,no problem, but i thought the directiontranslation.txt are there for;)maybe.



greets

in7ane can you explain me how the new Google (semi-auto) mode works? :)

Airwave, it will translate everything except MIDPOINT :)

fak3, that's not done yet (not even for testing - the code isn't there yet). I'm just keeping an updated version offsite. I'll post once it's usable.

Hi in7ane this is My first post here and I wanted to say what an excellent Program this is along side Map this.

I do have a couple of questions though (sorry If Ive posted this in the wrong area)
Is it possible to have GMDL coded so it uses firefox instead of internet explorer as IE never works properly for Me...tried all the google help files and forums but had no success....I get maps but the directions part never works with the blue line etc.
Also is it also possible to add support for like google.com.au &
whereis.com as these are mainly for the australian side (im obviously in australia lol) I know that most GPS units use whereis.com maps in australia

I appologise if these have already been covered but I cant seem to find any info on them in the search functions....any help would be very greatly appreciated.

what up.. whenever i try to download the google hybird maps.. i try everyone dl 1 tiel at a time.. proxy servers... 5 sec betwwen dl .. nothiogn works no matter what i get banned... please ehlp me out

@in7ane
Is there any possibility to download german geodata from the openstreetmap.org project?
Because of the growing popularity it becomes more and more interesting.

Ask Nieko for help with that, he has many experience with extracting files from the openstreetmap geodata.

Lord_Lucifer, it isn't really possible to use Firefox instead of IE as there is no equivalent (easy to use) Firefox COM object for .NET

eminded, it shouldn't fail straight away unless you are already blocked, however recently something changed with the google page so version numbers (next to where you select the map source) weren't showing up. This is fixed in a new http://www.in7ane.com/psp/gmdl0.5.02a.zip which you may want to try - however it's quite unlikely that this was the reason.

Mystheryman, go with Codaz's suggestion of using Nieko's scripts - there's no point in me rewriting them in GMDL (and at this pace I'm unlike to have the time to do it any time soon).

Hi Inzane,

Amesome work on the project.

Im having some issues using gmdl. First is there any documentation?

Im a bit overwhelmed with the amount of options that are on the screen, Ive looked through the source, and online and there only seems to be simple how tos. Is there any good documentation?

2nd, sometimes I zoom in on an area then click download map, and it just randomly chooses its own section of the map i was viewing to download. Is it because the section Im trying to download is too big?

Its quite strange... Im zoomed into most of toronto, I hit the download map. It then chooses the rural area I have up the top. And wants to download that. If I continue it only downloads 2mb of the rural section. Ignores pretty much all the interesting parts.

Thanks

There are various how-to's and the wiki - but I guess you've found those. Beyond that there isn't really anything more in the form of documentation since a lot of the functionality is just something I wanted in or from specific requests (if you have specific questions post them here and I'll try to answer them).

Area selection jumps tile-by-tile, so by 256 pixels at a time - use the Preview 1x and and Preview 2x buttons to see what you are going to get and move the map accordingly.

Thanks in7ane,

I managed to get it all working with some trial and error, until the map looked like what i wanted.

Thanks for the quick reply, and awesome app.

In7ane, could you integrate the scripts Nieko made into GMDL ?

So that if people supply the geodata file from OSM, it auto extracts it and prompts which area the user wants to rip out of it.

Then it rips them out, and makes a geodata.dat file of it.

Should be doable since Nieko's scripts are pretty good.

Only a lot of time for the pc to extract and a lot of harddrive space is needed (20 gigabyte).

But with today's pc hardware it should be fine.

Sorry about another question In7ane,


But im getting run time errors, when trying to download geodata.

Is there anything on my system that could be causing the problem?

Thanks

I finally got a few hours to sit down and finish up the semi-auto google geodata (with a local cache), and that's in: http://www.in7ane.com/psp/gmdl0.5.02a.zip (last tab in the geodata form, should be straight forward, but if there are problems please do report them).

Codaz, I'll take a look at that next - but no promises on when it'll actually make it into the app properly.

Tbone54, could you post the more info part from the runtime error (it will give me a line reference) also the area of the map (maybe it's just bad geodata).

Is it at all possible using Google maps modify route, to update the POI's when creating my directions? It will only take the from: and the last to: and generate the path based off those.

when i download it says Not found :-(

Edit heres the error:

Hi In7ane,

sorry been busy with work, and the usal. When i get home Ill get the screenshots of what happens.

I have a map that ive downloaded of Toronto. Then then use it to get the geodata, but it gets a run time exception as soon as the geodata window loads up.

I then hit continue, and it trys to connect, then it errors again and just says download failed.


Ill get the screenshots tonite. So you can have a better idea of exactly what im doing.


Thanks
