Baidu Maps

An example of the incompatible zoom jump:

to
http://mappng.baidu.com/maplite/mapb...3_28/10_44.png
(you can not rescale the second image to fit in the bottom left quarter of the first)

But that’s not all:

10zoom x = 113 * 50 + 11 = 5661
10zoom y = 28 * 50 + 45 = 1445

11zoom x = 226 * 50 + 22 = 11322 = 2 * 5661 (OK)
11zoom y = 57 * 50 + 41 = 2891 != 2 * 1445 (BROKEN 2890)

12zoom x = 452 * 50 + 44 = 22644 = 2 * 11322 (OK)
12zoom y = 115 * 50 + 32 = 5782 = 2 * 2891 (OK)

The logic seems broken – inconsistently so as well.

I’ve enabled the somewhat broken support for what’s there, but to be of any use we really do need Google or 51ditu tile URLs made sense of.

nforce100, sure, any ideas are certainly welcome.

And whatever you run - don't just run some random exe's - make sure you have the source too.

ahh okay. Think it was the downgrader.

* Language support

* Save files while downloading directly on
cardreader/psp

* at map24 there are sometimes double coords or more

* a way that you can show your saved icons with a tiny preview example: in poi when you take icon ....
you see a tiny preview

more will come

thanks very much for your suggestions.

the name of google china map's file names are encrypted. it need to be decrypted first. or find out the real tiles URLs...

i could try to made sense of 51ditu's URLs..

FYI,
here is a list of subway maps for major cities:
http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/02/p...und-the-world/

I did a sample convertion of the sydney map (below) just to test gmdl tool...
Basically, you need to resize it to a 512,1024,2048, 4096.... square; save as png and let gmdl convert it..

Search around chinese forums - maybe someone already hacked it...

nforce, I'll have a go at language support via a translation.txt file to automatically change the text of the controls - somebody else will have to do the translations though

You can download directly to wherever (will crash on the check though but otherwise it's fine, I'll fix that and add a set directory button), just put in (G = drive letter) "G:\PSP\GAME\mapViewer\maps\_MAP NAME" into the text box (should work for POIs too - I'll put in a drop down maybe)

Can you give me an exmaple query for Map24 (and the site/language) which gives dupes?

Yes, icon previews are on the pending list.

I was wondering if it would be possible to adapt the Google Map Downloader to download images for Map This ! from a ESRI IMS server ?

I have access to a IMS server with detailed maps for my country and I was wondering if I could use your tool for this ?

I was hoping for Map24 support, but seeing the strict Licensing I guess I will have to go another route.

Well, count me in for translation for Portuguese. I guess I can help with Spanish and/or French if there are no one speaking these as mother lang's here...

[nforce100]

i could make the german translation.

duplicates:

at some directions it could be 3 of duplicates
