The thing is, the !waypoint indicates that everything before that line is shown as only a dot (useful e.g. for supermarkets in your area), while everything after it is connected (showing a route).

I don't understand what you mean by "as a stop". Because in the original set of POI files, every file ends with something like "arriving at destination", you will still see that on MapThis, but the line will just continue to the next point.

Anyway, try it out first, and see if that's indeed what you want

what is preventing you from getting gmdl program (top post) and generating the map yourself?
in case of any questions, search these forums for tutorials, FAQs, etc..

Global Map Download Tool 0.5.02b
http://www.in7ane.com/psp/gmdl.html

No major updates, rolling it out mainly to be compatible with Map This 0.5.20 icons.

List of changes:

directions_translation.txt replace is now case insensitive thanks to dloading

YUM Assembler fix (, to .)

Custom CSV geodata now handles 3.583.333 as a decimal format (to 3.583333)

Pull and merge non 256x256 tiles (for use in MapCruncher) '''->''' then '''YUM''' then '''Tile Level Pull Merge''': http://www.in7ane.com/psp/posts/TileLevelPullMerge.png note: rendering large (30k x 40k) images takes days in MapCruncher, on a dual 3GHz Xeon with 2GB of RAM, due to scaling

Canadian Toporama no longer asks to set higher spans as MapCruncher (3.1.3) under .NET 3 seems to handle large (within reason) YUM files without problems (may be slow - just wait)

MapCruncher will now render JPEG tiles directly (from YUM Assembler and Canadian Toporama), greatly reducing the amount of space required (note - the JPEG checkbox needs to be checked/not checked throughout)

Ability to stop the downlaod of Google geodata (creates geodata.dat out of what downlaoded)

CSV to geodata.dat - option to supply your own zip codes, in the first column (will add states later)

All (including Tile Level Pull Merge) downloaded tiles are now checked (loaded as a bitmap) - this addresses 404/error pages that did not throw an error before

Google layer version numbers are now set on startup once again (I think something changed somewhere - wasn't really a problem, but fixed now)

New Canadian geodata statcan_rnf_v3 that may fill in some gaps (L and R ranges are now split up) - this is a minor change

Google (semi-auto) geodata with a local cache is in - there will probably be some fixes after somebody tests it (eg. http://www.in7ane.com/psp/posts/ggeo_semiauto.png )

http://new.kosmosnimki.ru is now a source - but not GPS compatible (6m resolution instead of Google's 15 and 25m for parts of Russia eg. http://www.in7ane.com/psp/posts/kosmosnimki_comp.png )

Downloading tiles in random order is now an option (Rnd checkbox under Advanced)

Updates are now fed from http://www.in7ane.com/psp/gmdl.html (which redirects to the latest zip) providing a permanent link

Icons swapped to comply with Map This 0.5.20 changes

great stuff, in7ane!
I am glad you are still on-board!
I'll probably need some help with geoline data soon.... Basically, i am working on vector data implementation for map This... I'll try to post the proposed specs soon, once I do some tests...
