Windows maps download tool for MapThis! by in7ane

[Mystheryman]

I'm having a problem, that I wanted to see if anyone else is having...

After going through the entire process of creating a custom map, I open it in the PSP, only to have it hang there reading the memory stick, forever. In trying to sort out the issue, I notice that the custom map I created, does not have the same directory structure that the sample maps have (1x/000, 2x etc...) Is this a problem, or should it be all in one directory??

Note - I dont have a GPS attached yet, I'm just trying to get the software to work first. I've enabled fakefeed, and copied the "no-GPS eboot" to the system dir.

Let me know if anyone has any ideas about what this could be.

I'm running 3.40OE currently. with mapviewer in the GAME150 folder.

thanks,

Move your mapviewer application to GAME340 Folder
and set Kernel to 3.4

then it should work

Mystheryman - I've tried all three folders, and the only one the app will open in, is the 1.50 folder.
I was hoping it was that simple



Deniska - I appreciate you having a look. I've build/downloaded it ~5 times, some on 4.16b, some on 4.17a, neither seem to work for me.

Please understand that these are my first attempts, and I could be doing something stupid, but I've read all the tutorials I could find, and am following them to the letter...

I'm more than happy to do any testing you might need, I'm not a coder, but am good at t-shooting (we'll see how easy this problem turns out to be )

Anyway, if you find something, let me know.

(I should get my Holux 240 by Monday, so I can do some "real" testing at that point)

p.s. I love the application, and can't wait for it to "catch up" to some of the mainstream devices.

I can't seem to link it, so here's another place.

Thanks guys,

I tried your map and it works - but missing some zoom levels. Did you remove levels 2,3,4?
I still see 1,5,6,7...

If you did not remove them then perhaps google disconects you at some point...
why not try VE maps ?

Set your Kernel to 3.40 in Recovery Menu
And then MapThis should work in GAME340 Folder.

If not - I'm confused ^^

Hi guys.

Due to a neccesary re-installation of Windows, i've lost my old GMDL.

Yesterday I downloaded GMDL again (version 0.4.16B) and unzipped it, but whenever I try to open it, this is what I get:



Now I know that this isnt a failure in GMDL, but in Windows, only I can't seem to find out what Windows needs to run it.

Suggestions

EDIT:
Sorry, read in the Starterspost that you need to have net.2.

Downloaded it, and I'll see if it works now

[meier3283]

Deniska - I'll start over on the download, I'm not certain what I did with that last attempt, I was probably getting desparate and making some changes. (Probably trying to speed it up)

Mystheryman - I confirmed that I'm already set to 3.40 in the recovery menu, so I'll create another map, and place it in the GAME340 folder, and post back.

I'm going to try just one zoom level, with no Geodata for this round.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks again

I've created new test maps, one with Google, and one with VE. I also tried them in the GAME folder, the GAME150 folder and the GAME340 folder, and the only time the program will start, is with it in the GAME150 folder.

I'm able to open the Global map.zip, and the New York Subway map, but not either of mine.

Just so you know how I'm getting here, here's exactly what I'm doing, so perhaps you can find my error.

1. Format the mem stick.
2. copy the MapViewer and Mapview% from the 1.5 folder inside of the archive mapViewer_v03.zip, to my PSP\GAME150 folder.
3. I copy the system folder from the archive MapThis0497_beta.zip, into the Mapviewer folder in my GAME150 folder.
4. I then use gmdl0.4.17a, to download maps. I choose a local zip code, give the map a name, and hit download map. I don't uncheck anything, or disable any zoom levels (for testing).
5. I then take the _test folder created with GMDL, and copy it to the maps folder on my psp.

My psp is set to 3.40 kernel in the recovery console, and again, the only time the app will even start, is when it's in the GAME150 folder.

When I select my custom maps, it just reads the mem stick for literally over an hour. (longest I've waited... but it seems to hang forever.)

I've also tried setting the CPU to 222, just to see, and there was no change.

Sorry to be a pest, but I can't let this get the best of me

Let me know if I'm doing something wrong...

Thanks again,

dreetje9 you need Microsoft .NET 2.0 installed. all you have to do is go to Microsoft Update website and downloaded and install the .NET 2.0 then you been fine. .NET 2.0 is about 88MB after installation.

Good Lcuk

As the EDIT in the post says, problem was that I didn't installed .net 2.

I downloaded it, and it worked again,so problem was already solved, but thanks for the answers :thumbup:
