Windows maps download tool for MapThis! by in7ane

[deniska]

Hey folks, I'm trying to find the best way to make POI files for large areas, such as an area that is 2 lat/long wide. The only way I have found so far is to zoom in very far and then concatenate all the files together into one file.

(I'm trying to do files for the greater San Francisco bay area + Santa Rosa + Sacramento.)

I noticed that the NYC POI files that are included in the latest MapThis! build are very close to the sort of thing I'm trying to do.

Thanks so much!

Use lat/lon divisor boxes...
Basically, queries for any area are limited to 255 responses - no matter how big.. so you want to divide your area in to segments and make separate inquiries.
the program will do it for ya.. but it takes time...

To disable the 1x zoom, set the min. zoom option to 1,

If you want to disable the 1x and 2x zoom levels, set the option to 2,

And if you want to disable 1x, 2x and 3x options, set the option to 3 etc...

It will show the 1x zoom level in tile selection screen, don't get confused, because that's not the level that you want to get rid of, its gone and the new 1x is the actual 2x zoom level.

So if you download the map you will still see a 1x folder, that is needed for the mapthis application to work properly.

So if you set the min. zoom level correctly, it should work.

You can easily test if it works by setting the min. zoom option to something like 5 and you will still see a 1x option on the tile selection screen, but your map will download in a minute, and you will see it works..

Good luck..

EDIT : By the way, make sure after you set the min. zoom option, you click on "pull tiles" on the advanced menu, not the download the map button.. (I don't know maybe it works either but..)

If anyone know about this I would also be interested.

One question,is it possible to generate maps only of the directionsway within a radius?

When yes, let me know,or not,then i think it could be a nice function for further in GMDL.

thanks for your nice work In7ane.

It's only a tip.
I don't think, that you can fit such a large map on a 4GB Memorystick.
I'm using a Map of whole Germany. After downloading it has 4,8 GB (1st zoom disabled). After shrinking with GPSFS_util it have 3,2GB

3,2 gb WOW. You did something wrong there buddy. I have the map of whole Netherlands and it zooms down to level 4, it's 220 mb.

With zoom upto level 3, it's 550 mb.
