Windows maps download tool for MapThis! by in7ane

deniska, the geodata checks out without any errors now, you'll need a new http://www.in7ane.com/psp/gmdl0.4.18a.zip which now points at it.

rollinolin, the POIs are separate from geodata (which is just street names and numbers).

MemorX, that does not seem to correspond to Google's tiles either, it looks like northern countries do not like the Mercator projection since it distorts quite a bit towards the poles.

GMDL 0.5 - Map This! 0.5 compatibility update.

http://www.in7ane.com/psp/gmdl0.5.00b.zip

Layout fixes (anchoring, map sources in tabs with translation.txt present)

YUM Assembler fixes (CSV changes, ; delimited CSVs - no ; in file names though, actual image counts) - now with a manual: http://www.in7ane.com/psp/manual/YUM_Assembler.pdf

Disabled the default copying of icons and sounds, and synced up the ones bundled with GMDL

Sloppy interface fixes - thanks zsc

WMS/NASA error handling fixed (failed tiles remained with the text error message)

Google Hybrid is a single option again (underneath it works the same, just an interface change)

New USGS TIGER geodata, now covering all states, you can delete C:/GMDL/usgs_tiger (usgs_tiger_v2 is now used)

i keep getting "google satellite tile test failed" error
I am trying to build a hybrid of tacoma washinington but cant get anywhere due to this error.
Can anyone explain what i am doing wrong, or direct me to an updated tutorial on hybrid maps.
I am running version 5 of gmdl.
thanks

waichai, Google's directions seem to dislike pedestrian streets (this also affects Nieko's web interface), I think the maps.google.com interface does a pre-step to get the lat/lon or the nearest road.

This works: San Francisco, CA 94115 to Stanton Ave, Castro Valley, CA 94564

rollinolin, Google hybrid is satellite + transparent overlay, and they seem to block IP's for a few hours if you download more than 1000 or so satellite tiles.

deniska, I think I've found a bug in the goedata search code (sorry, should have picked this up before the release but only got it after looking at UK postcode problems):

If you get some results via a search, and then do another wide search (just a street name without a number) the same results appear. If a more stringent search is done (with a house number), actual results will be returned.

My guess at what's happening:

geo-client.c
address_geolookup2()
does not reset zipcounter=0 since that line is after checking if the house number is 0 or null and returning -1

then in main.c address_geolookup2() relaxed search and wide search are skipped

the fix would be to move zipcounter=0; in address_geolookup2() to the FILE *fp; area

or have it in address_geolookup2() before address_geolookup2() is first called

[deniska]

in7ane,
Look's like the bug slipped in with MIB.42's relaxed search update
I'll fix it in the next update...

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!
