Windows maps download tool for MapThis! by in7ane

[ejapsp]

Thanks In7ane

Google Map still not working. Tried the new build on
http://homepage.mac.com/f.levin/psp/....15aGPSFS2.zip

The preview shows the large map in the middle, but the 4 small corner maps are not appearing.

In the download window no map tiles at all.

ejapsp, there is probably no coverage at your minimum zoom level (default 0) in the corners of your selected area. Either ignore missing tiles, or set the min zoom higher (both under advanced).

Also, I improved notification of when Google satellite tiles start failing (both during the initial download and the retry).

works for me....

In7ane, I have tested a well known map, i.e.
http://mt0.google.com/mt?n=404&v=&x=8503&y=5397&zoom=3

and this tile is one of the bunch which still gives errors. To be precise: no tile at all is downloaded.

Up to now I found no place with no coverage at 0, and now since sunday morning I have no tile at all in this google maps application.

I'm using simple, and did not change anything to my setup between the last working map download and today. Besides that I have tested the setup, and reinstalled on another pc.

And as for coverage, google maps
http://maps.google.com/
shows everything.

So that is not the problem!

I hope you can fix it ????

ejapsp, it was a bug (recreating a class without setting the versions), thanks for spotting that, please redownload http://homepage.mac.com/f.levin/psp/....15aGPSFS2.zip

disregard the previous version of this post, sorry

Hi In7ane, thanks for the fast responses: With the your new build

gmdl0.2.15aGPSFS2.zip

the panel BROWSE and its subpanels PREVIEW1X and PREVIEW2X work again. The DOWNLOAD preview panel which you get after clicking the download button still shows the ugly little red crosses..
(meaning no tiles ...)

Keeping my fingers crossed.

INSANE,
I have a question for ya...
I am trying to get a map of a certain place and I move the map around to center on one town, and then I click on the preview 1 or 2 x and it does not change locations.
Seems like I have to move it alot to make the preview move also.
Does the main screen mot match the preview window?
Just wondering.

[in7ane]

ejapsp, it should all work now (this time, really

Russoxley187, it's because the map is made up of 256x256 tiles, so at the sides the whole tile is not always displayed and you can potentially move the map by upto 255 pixels without the location the application picks up actually changing (just more/less of the same tiles is displayed). So you have to move about/zoom out to get your desired area to fit into 2 by 2 tiles at the highest zoom (what the preview shows).

[Russoxley187]

I did that, but to get the whole area I would like, it tells me the map is too large, I suppose I will hae to make two maps of change the zoom to levels...
Thanks for your help

In7ane, yep its working!

Now the fineprint:
It works as expected but 2 things:
1) For the map tiles and so a temporary folder on C:\Google Maps Download\bin\Debug\<number>
is used. When creating GPSFS the correct destination folder is used, like:
D:\Userxxx\Maps\_name as I entered it in the input box.
This is a little bit unexpexted because my C partition is not happy with a 80k extra clusters load, I prefer my other data partitions to do this (NTFS).

2) The tiles in the download window are still not rendered (The download itself does seem to work).

I still have to test the actual 5 GPSFS files I got, but I have to install the new MAPTHIS beta build first. But is is looking good, as during the download the png are nicely observable in the temp folder in C:.
And I should be able to cross convert to an older MAPTHIS version, so I'd say problem solved!!

Thumbs up!

Edit: Concerning 1, after rechecking your download tool I found a checked tickbox under advanced settings for local temp if different drive. This should solve item 1. Silly me...
