Windows maps download tool for MapThis! by in7ane

[leon21ca]

hello! Wonderful program. I’m still new to this stuff, I want to know what are this numbers beside Google Map in the select Map Source do? “w2.43, w2t.40, 15, w2.43” I'm using GMDL 0.4.9b

Thanks

AZImmortal, check Legacy Mode - however the directions file will then stop working with next release of Map This!, I think.

Hi in7ane, sorry for the late response. I haven't had time to mess around with this lately. Here are some screenshots of sample directions using both the default setting and the legacy mode setting with the latest GMDL and latest Map This! beta:

Default


Legacy


I realize that the extra lines introduced into the legacy directions are as a result of Map This! interpolating the directions. Is there any way to get the midpoint icons working properly in non-legacy mode so that they're not the same icon as the path points?

DennyPSP, post in Russian if you want (tell me if you want the replies in Russian too) - I'll translate the question/answer for other's benefit. In GMDL - click Set under the MapCruncher option and select the directory with all the PNGs, it will get the numbers and set zooms by itself - just click Pull Tiles.

I so always make this, but at a choice zoom on other number (12, 10, etc) the map disappears from the screen.

And for what button Get Numbers?

Codaz, if you are clicking Pull Tiles under Advanced, you need to click Get Numbers first to match the settings you are seeing when you click Preview 1x, 2x (Show Preview will then show the same as Preview 1x did) - the reason is for when you want to change the area manually by specifying x,y,zooms.

AZImmortal, that's why it's Legacy Mode I'll take a look if combining icons is possible under the new way directions are done. Alternatively, deniska, could you not display the icon for anything with WAYPOINT in the name of the point?

leon21ca, they are the historic layers of google maps data (they are read in at startup, so will change as google re-renders), for example you can sometimes get earlier satellite imagery by using a lower number than 15.

DennyPSP, Get Numbers does nothing for MapCruncher maps, for your map you have the following options:

1) wait for deniska to enable 2048 map support (see previous page)

2) set min zoom to a higher number

3) if you want to change the zoom you also need to change x and y, specify zoom=12, x=19, y=9 (zooming in by multiplying x,y by 2 then scrolling across and down by adding 1 to x and y) then click Show Preview

My full maps 4048 map Big town
What dependence between numbers?
Zoom 13
x 9
y 4

Zoom 12
x 19
y 9

How to calculate following ZOOM it is independent

Zoom 11,10,9 etc

Get Numbers work super with MapCruncher maps of my town, but max ZOOM 5
When I move a map on axes X and Y that is displayed full map but only Zoom 5, it is impossible to increase display more or to make in manual?

Thanks

Thanks for all the time you're putting into this. If the icon wasn't displayed, I'd assume that there would still be a way to have the waypoint text be displayed on-screen? I'm talking about the distance remaining (and upcoming turn if it's enabled).

AZImmortal & in7ane,

I am going to allow repetition of !IMAGE declarations of the same image in the WAYPOINT files in the next version, so you can toggle between 2 to 10 images any number of times you want..

See the sample decalration below:

!WAYPOINT

40.653420,-73.977460,1.3 mi,MIDPOINT,
40.654350,-73.978240,1.3 mi,MIDPOINT,
40.654780,-73.978730,1.2 mi,MIDPOINT,
40.655540,-73.979840,1.1 mi,MIDPOINT,
40.659270,-73.986010,0.7 mi,MIDPOINT,
40.659510,-73.986330,0.6 mi,MIDPOINT,
........
Below is the creenshot of how it looks (note that the midpoint dots are still there, but they could be displayed as clear images if needed)
BTW, I am not too thrilled about the cirle icons - could someone design something more aesthetic ;-)?

deniska, AZImmortal, the new directions format is now in.

Also Local.Live maps now have the navigation in Local.Live (road, hybrid and satellite is supported).

DennyPSP, when you decrease zoom by 1 multiply x and y by 2 - then you get the left topmost tile zoomed in. This has a lot more on the issue: http://mapki.com/wiki/Automatic_Tile...Tile_Structure

in7ane, got a question, I had created a large and had checked the box to 'fill missing tiles'. as a result, I noticed that I got a lot of "empty" image files. by "empty" I mean a solid color image file. I get that they're the "fillers". well, since I had only selected 5x5 tiles out of the 8x8 tiles, there are a lot of these fillers, especially on my 8>-1 zoom map.

anyway, my question is this, do I need these fillers? since this is a new feature, my guess would be that mapthis should still work without the fillers, I just want to know if it's better to have them.

To in7ane,
