deniska, a quick reply about the new geodata:

missing states: http://www.in7ane.com/psp/posts/error_log0.txt

missing borders: http://www.in7ane.com/psp/posts/error_log1.txt

missing counties: http://www.in7ane.com/psp/posts/error_log2.txt

Otherwise it works fine - let me know if/when you can rerun those states/counties and we'll do an update.

The current geodata is missing Oregon (maybe others too, I can't remember) but has Oklahoma and California so potentially a 1.5 release of the mix and match geodata set can be released (let me know if you think this is a good idea).

zsc, fixed the sloppy interface, thanks for reporting that. As for the zoom level selection - I am still getting around to that, so no promises on a time scale.

Note: if you are running 18a you may want to enable copying icons under Advanced - it is disabled by default now.

in7ane, maybe a weird question but are you improving the GUI of GMDL in future ?

Because it now has more than 300 clickable buttons spread all over the screen.

Should be more handy to supply a wizard mode or something.

Because i'm in Europe and i won't use the 50 buttons for Geodata for US anyway.

Also, Geodata of the Netherlands should be available from OSM from 20th of August so how is your progress so far on ripping Geodata of OSM ??

I believe that problems with offsore counties are due to TIGER errors or format change..
I tried to load data for "AS" in roadnav and got error popup about some missing files...
Unfortunately Census Bureau has removed the first edition files so I can't really cross-compare..
You may want to mix&match the data for those counties from prev release if you still have it and it does look better.
As far as Oklahoma and California go - I'll re-run my scripts and post the data.. so dont' mix the old&new data for the continental states just yet

[deniska]

in7ane, I have uploaded CA,ND,NJ&OK

I don't think that the tiger has the data for FM, MH,PW

Please re-run your tests and let me know if anything is still missing...

deniska, the borderless counties are the same as in the original, 2006, run so I guess they are just empty. The remaining issue is missing counties: http://www.in7ane.com/psp/posts/error2_log2.txt and one of the zips is corrupt, could you reupload: 42045.zip (from PA).

The missing counties are from AR, DC, FL, NY, and PA (the 2006 set has some missing from OK, and all of OR, SC, WY). Let me know if you can rerun AR, DC, FL, NY, and PA to fill the gaps or if you want to use the 2006 data for those counties.

[deniska]

will do AR, DC, FL, NY, and PA tonight... thanks

I see, how about a map service like http://www.hvor.no ?

It seems to be buildt with tiles (256 x 256).. Its not as good as the first one, but it would still be better than Google and the others.

Thanks for your answer!

in7ane said that the these tiles did not correspond with Google Tiles. The case is a map over Norway

Can anyone please check this site for me?

[deniska]

in7ane, AR, DC, FL, NY, and PA should be in.. Let me know if anything else is missing

do POI's automatically get downloaded with geodata or do you have to load that seperately?
I am just wondering if it automaticaly comes up in gps mode or not.
