I created a quick forum for all things map this and gmdl related so we can all share maps and tips. This thread is getting a little long...

You are right, this thread is getting to long for normal viewing....
I'll cut it off and span a new one with the next gmdl release...
in7ane, just PM me when ready...

Sorry I forgot about the new Tiger files.. Do you still want me to upload them?

[in7ane]

Quicksilversvt, no, leave the boxes checked as they are - they are for the areas covered by your map.

pspesto, for downloading a map see the manual by outsider:

You don't have to download the geodata files - the app will download them gradually as needed (the 550 and 30 mb zips are up there if you want the whole set)

Same with most other things - most buttons and options you can ignore.

Can anyone please share a Boston map? I can't for the life of me get this working, I'm a computertard and mostly follow directions but this is a hard one. Is there a place/thread where people share/post their maps? Any help will be appreciated. Thank You

Is it possible to remove the 1x uncheck restriction, since the 1x detail maps are imho too close to the ground and to big if you want to create big size maps like a hole country
Would be really nice if you change it.

Also, i can't get a good program to work to shrink my map size. If i download the map of a whole country, i can't shrink those 120.000 images with a freeware tool, they all chrash because the number of images is too large to handle.

Any advice ??

if you are not afraid of cygwin and basic scripting then you can install and use imagemagic (just google these buzz words for more info)... Imagemagic is known to handle any number of images and any image sizes....

Just set min zoom from 0 to larger value (In Advanced tab)- it will skip the most detailed levels...
In one of the earlier releases I provided a world map which was ~ 30Mb as an example...

Nice Deniska 888 posts !

But i'm a bit afraid of Cygwin and scripting

Otherwise i was also coding along with you on Mapthis if i knew coding.

I know only some coding in Pascal and Basic.
