MapThis! is out

[deniska]

Thanks Deniska for a great program, but I do have a slight issue. Everything is working fine but my GPS co-ordinates are different from the one I get from my pocket PC.Your ones are LAT -40.319158, LON 176.835938 and my Pockect PC gets S39 31.870' E176 50.398 (LAT -39.75833 LON 176.943888 translated from http://jeeep.com/details/coord/ )

Are your talking about the GPS feed or just map to GPS coord translation?

I am using the translation algorithm from google maps...
Try to pinpoint your location with this tool and see what you get: http://www.mapki.com/wiki/Get_Lon_Lat

re:hybride error :::
It is coming from following line in gethybrid.sh:
keyhole=`java -classpath . GoogleTile $1 $2 $zoom $x $y|grep keyhole=|cut -d '=' -f2`

The java interpreter is complaining that it cannot find the GoogleTile class

Make sure you have GoogleTile.class file in the scripts directory.
Also you may want to specify your exact path to that file by changing the line above to:
keyhole=`java -classpath [you_directory_path] GoogleTile $1 $2 $zoom $x $y|grep keyhole=|cut -d '=' -f2`

thx man it works!

check if image magic is installed correctly
also see if you get the satellite tiles loaded correctly:
comment out all "rm ...." lines (put # in front of rm command).. now see if you get the jpegs with satellite photos...

The way it works is: it gets the sat photos & png images with street names and then uses image magic to overlay them and netpbm to convert back to jpeg to jpeg....

I don't change the coordinates that Holux retuns...
Could that be that you did not have a fix? In that case holux will give you the last coordinate, aquired during a good fix....
make sure that the red light is blinking...

i have fw 2.8 so all i can do is view maps through the browser, which is good enough for me. but when i try to download a map cygwin makes the folders, but it doesnt make the html files. i just wanted to know if i type something else in the command bar or if i have to alter some file. please reply soon.

Yes I am sure that I have a 100% fix, red light flashing. I can recheck by using the Bluetooth connection through the pocket pc at the same time which was enabled after the PSP has locked on. Do you think that it has something to do with the negative number in the LAT.

Heres my gps log

in the scripts folder you download with the viewer
ther is a file named testmap.sh
usage:
./testmap.sh [map size]
example
./testmap 16

hi thx for helping i'll try
just for you to know i installd the whole cygwin
it takes 2-3 howers and its 2.3 G.B
does it mean i have image magic ?
or netpbm?
*edit*
i did what you told me to put the # in front of the rm
and a wierd thing happend
it gives me a set of 4 pictures :
1x000000.jpg-like a simple map with a black background
1x000000.png-a simple map with transperant background
K1x000000.jpg-a hybride look of the place without the map overlay
K1x000000.png-same as K1x000000.jpg
is this sepous to be like this?
i'm sorry for the speling errors i'm from israel
