I read other's posts, I realised that geodata can be only used for searching specific street in stead of navigation. so I just wonder that if we can search the specific POI in Mapthis, for instance Hotel or Supermarket?
Hey guys, I'm new to this, but I really appreciate all the effort many of you have gone through for these apps.
Anyways, I downloaded the gmdl zip file from in7ane.com, but I can't find bin/debug to start the program:confused:. Do I need to download something else? I already have the microsoft .net 2 program on my computer, so I'm really confused why I can't find and run the gmdl file. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Edit: I can open the bin file if i don't unzip the downloaded gmdl file, but then when I run the gmdl tool.exe then it says that I need to unzip everything else. It seems like if I unzip it then drops or hides the .exe file, but if I don't unzip it then it won't work right.
Edt #2: Good news! I think my computer was selectively leaving out some of the files while unzipping, so I manually selected all files and now it seems to be running well. Sorry to be a nuisance
i'm having trouble adding POI's using GMDL tool. whenever i zoom in the area I want and then hit get numbers, then enter a search query, then list, I always reach the limit (~990). I opened one that reached the limit in mapthis and it shows POI's WAY outside of the area I zoomed into. I'm assuming there's something wrong with the long/lat number or deltas.
how can i fix this?
Thanks
about the israel maps,

M1ke, infinite POIs issue is fixed in http://www.in7ane.com/psp/gmdl0.5.05a.zip where you set the maximum number to return (I will eventually get around to releasing that as a proper version, for now there is still some stuff to cleanup).
itaibe, sorry for the late reply, govmap.gov.il renders areas on request as well, so it is not tile compatible at all.
If possible i should like to have an answer.Quote:

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
Can anyone post the newest version of gmdl? There are a lot of different versions out there and I don't know which one is newest. Thanks!
most of the versions would check for updates and prompt you to downnload the newest version
can DMGL download map for http://www.streetdirectory.com/
??? pls help me..
in7ane, many thanks, I have tried to converts the file _default in format xls with a spreadsheet with a correct header and then with POIEDIT in kml format, and google map correctly show them.
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?
in7ane, can i get israel map from this site using GMDL :
http://www.atlasct.com/global/israelenglish/
or this one :
http://www.eyeonisrael.com/Israel-touring-map.html
i think these format might be good with GMDL
thanks
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.
in7ane, if u need some help , i'm a programmer in c/c++,mfc and also know java , i might give a little push to this project
what Pre-rendered 430px ? 555px maps mean?
porting some of the stuff to java or SDL would be nice, as lots of people ask for non-windows/platform independent version...Quote:

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:Quote:

Perhaps in7ane could look in to it...
Hello all,
First, I just want to thank all the involved in this great project that is MapThis! and GMDL. It's just great tool and very powerful.
I have just some small questions:
What is the best way to create a map? I mean, I was trying to make a map of Finland, following all the directions and recommendations from this forums.
I checked the tiles that were relevant for the map, checked the 2x, 4x, 8x and 16x levels of zoom (since the 1x it's unnecessary in my opinion.) But the map it's just in a HUGE size.
I'm still figuring out how to make this Finland map without having to download Gigs of information.
The other question is about the Google semi-auto feature to retrieve the geodata of the selected area. I just don't find very clear how to do it and a bit confusing. Maybe someone can clear things out for me?
Once again, thanks a lot!
Hi i'm a newbie to Map This and In7ane tool.
I'm trying to download map of Bangkok Thailand using in7ane.
When I "Browse" to the area that i want the addresses are all displayed in English Language (which is what i want), but when i download the map it is all in Thai language.
I cannot figure out how to make it download the English version like in the Browse window.
(In the preview window it also shows the Thai language version)
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
The trick is to add another parameter to the tile URL. Consider 2 URLs below:Quote:

http://mt2.google.com/mt?n=404&v=w2....=Galileo&hl=en
Note that the second URL is ending with language definition parameter: hl=en...
The easiest way to make it work with gmdl is to attach this parameter to the version number (in the top left edit box: w2.75&hl=en (next to Google Map radio button)... To check that it's working just hit the preview button
Hi In7ane or Deniska,
http://www.axelrichteronline.eu/Foto...D/CIMG2141.jpg
i use mapthis and your tool with my bike ;) but a usefull idea that i have, is that possible to implement a third line in directionsearching. for example i have have a prefer place and ride over there.for example i will from point 1 to point 3 but i will ride over point 2.
Second question.I use mapthis very often to discover new places;) but its hard to dictionary all function of the great tool. i dont understanding really the things with the mapcrusher ;) all things going right directions or maploading,but is that possible to combine maptiles from different downloaded maps?for example i will from east germany straight ahead to north, but i cant load all 600 kilometr so i would load only the tiles where goning the roads and the ways. what can i do to save memory of my card;)
thanks
1)Another arrow is not hard to do, but since it's not the frequently requested feature, I doubt I'd ever implement it..Quote:

Hi, I tried registering to this forum but the authentication image doesn´t show so thats why I´m using bugmenot username.
Anyway, my question is how to use png - tiles on a website? I know there is a folder named mashup in the Windows maps download tool where there is a template for website. Problem is that it doesn't show the tiles which I have extracted with windows maps download tool to subfolder named tiles. Is the structure according to Tile Map Service (TMS)?
What changes do I need to make to the code in order to get png tiles showing in website?

Is GMDL still working for Google Maps ? Yesterday, while i was ddownloading some Hybrid maps from Google of Lanzarote, it stopped working. It kept telling me i was missing 35 tiles.
When i paste the url from the ERROR.LOG in a browser, i get an error about automated downloads.... I think they blocked GMDL completely and changed their tile downloading stuff :(
Even preview in GMDL stays empty.
thanks deniska, i try your tip,this works good, you mean the gpsfs utility.Quote:
