Windows maps download tool for MapThis! by in7ane

[TheWanderer]

Google have added multi point directions, eg: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=e...g,+ny+to:10001

And this works:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=e...01&output=html

For the life of me I can not get the direction (the blue highlighted roads) to work...am I missing something?

When using the app on a network that requires using a proxy (NTLM auth proxy) the map download tool fails.
It seems to support proxy, reads system (IExplore) proxy address, but don't support authentication.
Surfing around it seems this isn't something I can solve changing configuration files, but it is something you should support on the code side..this page may be of some help: http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;318140 (down where it says "Proxy servers that require NTLM authentication" ).

Here is a log of exception reported by the app:

I don't think there is a guide. Tom Tom maps can't be used as far as I know.

But you can create a London map easily by yourself:

1. On main program window, write London on the google maps page shown and click Search
2. Less the zoom to have full city displayed
3. Click Preview 1X to check the map part actually used by the program. If it cuts out wanted part of the map less again the zoom and/or move the map a little
4. When you are satisfied click the Set Dir button, browse your Hard disk and create a new folder somewhere. This new folder's name must start with underscore, like "_London", quotes excluded.
5. Click Download the Map button
6. Wait till download finishes, and downloaded files are packed
7. Copy the folder to maps folder on your psp
8. done

POI creation is independent, and has similar steps to follow. Type London and hit search. Then when loaded click Get numbers button. Enter search term in search for field, then list, and if satisfied save poi list (with a filename starting with underscore).

I will definitely try this out later. Maybe even I could get it to work :rofl:

[Stalksy]

I cant get the POIs to display, I tried renaming (putting _ infront of name) and putting them in different places on my mem stick.

I have a map called _Sheffield and the POIs created by googlemaps inside the folder some with _ at the front, others without but nothing shows.

Should the POIs that googlemaps create work?

[DennyPSP]

When I try to create a map from PNG a file at me gives out error OUT OF MEMORY very often...

[in7ane]

DennyPSP, that (and the 32 max size for custom maps) is due to the way Bitmap is implemented in .NET, from what I can gather it was never intended for large image files and so is limited in size and very memory inefficient.

Try shutting down other applications and/or running on a machine with more ram (1GB recommended I guess).

If anyone has any suggestions of a better bitmap implementation to use I will have a go at using it instead.

It seems to have a different projection..
That means that even if you import it in to mapthis!
your wont be able to use it with gps receiver...
Besides, why would you need another source for US data ??? google, msn yahoo , etc should be sufficient...
