I still don't understand exactly what the problem is..Quote:

Keep in mind that the tool tries to round up your selection to the nearest tile at most distant zoom - so yes - the preview (and the resulting map may shift a bit)
If you need just 2-3 zoom levels - then the different between max and min zoom settings must be 2 or 3 respectively..
Here is yet another beta build in which I fixed a couple of GPSFS bugs and added
"distance to marker" for regular (GPS off) map mode.
Since I am preloading tile indexes in to the memory, there may be significant (10-15 sec) initial load delay for large (1024x+) maps. I put in a little "PLEASE WAIT...." message... After the initial load the map seems to have pretty fast load times...
Anyway, give it a try and let me know if you find any bugs...
deniska, everything works as far as I can see, thanks!
One request though, could you include scale images for -1, and -2 zoom levels (for satellite imagery).
Let me know when you want to make this final so I can get a newer version GMDL out at the same time.
I have ben testede the new version (mapThis_v3[1].7_1.5_EBOOT.rar) and everything works OK.
Error : (I use Dark_Alex's Custom Firmware 2.71 SE-B')
I have a map (1024x+). When I zoom to the low Map-level (tested in map-level: 1x, 2x and 4x) and move cursor for long time (one minute), MapThis is suddenly showing the attached Image (I have maps in this arear). I have done this severel times in defect maps places. If I then try to use MapThis, example to zoom out, the application will stop working. I do not get this error in map-level 8x.
This happaned because of inefficient garbage collection algorithm I used to clean up unused tiles from the memory... It was too slow on large maps (especially noticable at close zooms) - and system ran out of memory...
I re-wrote it with more efficient one (hopefully got it right) please re-test with new eboot...
Also, added the scale support for negative zoom settings (applicable for satellite maps) - just copy the attached scale.png image to system directory...
So how can I load a large map from Google Hybrid? I was banned 2 or 3 times already =)Quote:

I took another look at Chinese maps (maps.51ditu.com), the setup is as follows:
To go north a row add 1048576 (at any zoom it seems)
To zoom in subtract 1099511627771 to get the bottom left corner
To go east add 1
What remains is the secondary parts of the url (1 at zoom 11 to 8, 2 at 7 to 4, 3 at 3 to 0) which I imagine may be to do with the maximum number of files per directory that they store. If somebody has any ideas, it would be much appreciated.

gl0om, a dynamic ip would help - beyond that... it's just under 1000 tiles at a time :/
Perhaps, in7ane, as "official creator and maintainer" of the download tool can add "map download corrector" feature where the application would check all the tiles in the existing map and download whatever is missing..

Version 3.8 :
- move cursor error : You have fix it :)
- GPS error : My wife has the car, I will test it to tomorrow morning.
The "GPS bug" is of the same origin and should be fixed in 3.8, but please verify it (stay on lowest zoom and don't switch zooms)

deniska, added repairing maps (only works in non-encoded as GPSFS form and needs coordinates right now)
http://homepage.mac.com/f.levin/psp/....15aGPSFS2.zip
Instructions (click Advanced, check Repair Existing Directory) are up on:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Map_Thi..._Map_Directory
I got a perfect working setup for about 2 wk's. A week ago I started with GPSFS enabled setup, also working perfect. Up to now that is.
Can anybody confirm? Google map only download with 2.15 from in7ane not working anymore as of sunday 5 nov ?
Plain google maps are working! but not the 2.15 with or without GPSFS support.
Thats funny as hell since I thought i had my IP blocked from Google..
I been making hella maps..
Just started using yahoo or msn maps...
Maybe its something else...
:eek:
IP blocking is simple to detect:
Try http://maps.google.com/
If not dead then no ip blocking.
I suspect a change in the google map engine. Graphics are looking/acting different, but maybe I'm paranoid.
Ask maps works.
actually the blocking would probably occur on the tile servers: mt1.google.com.... and so on...Quote:

Looks like google map uses different servers for different resolutions MT0, MT1, MT2, MT3 etc.
You can see just by watching the status bar.
:rolleyes:
ejapsp, it is to do with older versions of the application using a set layer (w2.21 for maps) which google have now pulled, download a newer version that uses the latest layer available (w2.25 right now):
http://homepage.mac.com/f.levin/psp/....15aGPSFS2.zip
For use with the latest Map This! (mapThis_v3.8_1.5_EBOOT.rar from the previous page).
About Google blocking IPs - it seems to only happen on satellite (and therefore transparency), and as far as i can see blocks all kh# servers at once (which you can test for on maps.google.com by switching to satellite view). I'll look into better notification for when this happens.
Thanks In7ane
Google Map still not working. Tried the new build on
http://homepage.mac.com/f.levin/psp/....15aGPSFS2.zip
The preview shows the large map in the middle, but the 4 small corner maps are not appearing.
In the download window no map tiles at all.
ejapsp, there is probably no coverage at your minimum zoom level (default 0) in the corners of your selected area. Either ignore missing tiles, or set the min zoom higher (both under advanced).
Also, I improved notification of when Google satellite tiles start failing (both during the initial download and the retry).
works for me....
In7ane, I have tested a well known map, i.e.
http://mt0.google.com/mt?n=404&v=&x=8503&y=5397&zoom=3
and this tile is one of the bunch which still gives errors. To be precise: no tile at all is downloaded.
Up to now I found no place with no coverage at 0, and now since sunday morning I have no tile at all in this google maps application.
I'm using simple, and did not change anything to my setup between the last working map download and today. Besides that I have tested the setup, and reinstalled on another pc.
And as for coverage, google maps
http://maps.google.com/
shows everything.
So that is not the problem!
I hope you can fix it ???? :) :) :)
ejapsp, it was a bug (recreating a class without setting the versions), thanks for spotting that, please redownload http://homepage.mac.com/f.levin/psp/....15aGPSFS2.zip
disregard the previous version of this post, sorry
Hi In7ane, thanks for the fast responses: With the your new build
gmdl0.2.15aGPSFS2.zip
the panel BROWSE and its subpanels PREVIEW1X and PREVIEW2X work again. The DOWNLOAD preview panel which you get after clicking the download button still shows the ugly little red crosses..
(meaning no tiles ...)
Keeping my fingers crossed.
INSANE,
I have a question for ya...
I am trying to get a map of a certain place and I move the map around to center on one town, and then I click on the preview 1 or 2 x and it does not change locations.
Seems like I have to move it alot to make the preview move also.
Does the main screen mot match the preview window?
Just wondering.
ejapsp, it should all work now (this time, really :)
Russoxley187, it's because the map is made up of 256x256 tiles, so at the sides the whole tile is not always displayed and you can potentially move the map by upto 255 pixels without the location the application picks up actually changing (just more/less of the same tiles is displayed). So you have to move about/zoom out to get your desired area to fit into 2 by 2 tiles at the highest zoom (what the preview shows).
I did that, but to get the whole area I would like, it tells me the map is too large, I suppose I will hae to make two maps of change the zoom to levels...
Thanks for your help
In7ane, yep its working!
Now the fineprint:
It works as expected but 2 things:
1) For the map tiles and so a temporary folder on C:\Google Maps Download\bin\Debug\<number>
is used. When creating GPSFS the correct destination folder is used, like:
D:\Userxxx\Maps\_name as I entered it in the input box.
This is a little bit unexpexted because my C partition is not happy with a 80k extra clusters load, I prefer my other data partitions to do this (NTFS).
2) The tiles in the download window are still not rendered (The download itself does seem to work).
I still have to test the actual 5 GPSFS files I got, but I have to install the new MAPTHIS beta build first. But is is looking good, as during the download the png are nicely observable in the temp folder in C:.
And I should be able to cross convert to an older MAPTHIS version, so I'd say problem solved!!
Thumbs up!
Edit: Concerning 1, after rechecking your download tool I found a checked tickbox under advanced settings for local temp if different drive. This should solve item 1. Silly me...
ejapsp, the Test tab which appears after the download finishes? That displays the top 2x2 tiles for GPSFS maps now (technical note: Nx directories get priority, only the multifile GPSFS is supported).
In7ane
After selecting desired location in Google Maps Download 0.2.15a and entering a folder for saving I click on button <Download The Map>.
After a that a new window opens where I can select which tiles of the map I want in full resolution. Default all tiles are selected, and all tiles are shown. Now these tiles are missing.
On top of this window there is a window wide button. This button reads: <Uncheck any tiles which you do not wish to download to close zoom levels, then click here>.
This large window has the (8 x 8) missing preview tiles!
ejapsp, I can not seem to replicate the missing detail selection tiles, however it does seem that tiles behave a bit differently in Germany.
Just to confirm, do you have w2.25 in the box next to the Google Map radio button?
Could you post exactly what you are doing (navigating to or searching for city, how far zoomed out, which preview used, etc. - step by step). Also, could you see if you get the same problem downloading a map of New York for example.
In7ane
I tried New York Manhattan 64 and it works perfect!
So it looks like an european problem maybe ;) ;)
The missing preview occurred when trying to download a map of Arnhem. A small town in the middle of Holland.
First screenshot called arnhem shows place,
second screenshot shows missing tiles.
I got the same thing, but I was using the old version, not sure what your prob is... Using the newest now...
Mine works..
I even tried that Area...
Arnhem
Weird..
Try MSN Maps of ASK.
Everything works fine for me so many kudos to mighty Deniska and in7ane.
The only problems occurs when i download direction, everything seems to work but my psp display only single poi (it doesn't connect them).
I'll try to find an answer, but no way (sorry if there's). can someone help me?
I've changed the cursor, if someone want's it...
http://www.deathfolder.com/arrows.png
Did you do the get values thingy?
After you put in teh directions in the search box?
BTW...
Cool cursor...
For some weird reason its crooked for me...
Weird...
Cool, though..
thankx
ejapsp, I can not seem to replicate it for that area, however I've made some changes bringing the way those images are loaded inline with how the rest of the application works - so it may work now (otherwise Google Hybrid maps don't work either probably).
If it still doesn't work, could you see if the URL that appears in the top left, over the wide button, of the 8x8 detail selection window loads in your browser, and post it here too.

In7ane
It seems to work! The preview tiles are all rendered now. Looks good!
I tried on the same area Arnhem.
