Codaz, I'll make some more tweaks with the CSV import (it will work with large files right now, but creating them will be the problem). Ultimately getting the OpenStreetMap planet.osm data processed looks like a better idea - so that'll be the main geodata focus from now on.

GREAT update In7ane

But i tried to make a simple csv file with geodata i know so i can try to lookup my street and the streets around my home.
How to build such a thing ? What should the CSV contain and in what order ?

And for the JPG converting thing, why is it better to use GMDL_util by MIB ?

Isn't it better to straightly make the maps fine ?

Otherwise you download a 2gb map which will take almost a day. And then spend another day converting it to lower quality.

Wouldn't it be nice to auto download in lower quality ? Or is that a very difficult or unpossible technical issue ?

Also GREAT that you are now concentrating on Geodata from OSM. Still i couldn't believe that you found Swedish geodata, where was that

Hmm, still if i download the Benelux, so that's Belgium, Netherlands an Luxemburg the map will be 32737 mb, so 32 GB ! WOW, or isn't this true ?

You can fit whole planet on 32Mb stick - it just depends on the zoom range (the amount of detail that you require)

Hi I live in Toronto and I got a question regarding geodata. i can't get GMDL to generate geodata and i get an error when i set my minimum zoom to 2 (from advance menu) if I let the minimum zoom to zero it would generate the geodata. Does this mean that geodata only works if you set the minimum to 0.
I would appreciate it from anyones help

Codaz, CSV format: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Map_This!#Custom as for quality conversions, MIB.42's GPSFS_util has a lot more functionality.

sleekyboy24, geodata should definitely still work with a min zoom of 2, can you post exactly what you are doing (is GeoData checked and Canada selected?) and when/what error you get.

Hi there!
I've installed mapthis and it's great. Thank you very much to the creator. I would like to have the geogata.dat for Spain or at least for Madrid. How can I get it?

Thank you very much!

In7ane is now working on the geodata of the whole planet. This is provided using Openstreetmap.
