Map This! v0.4

[deniska]

deniska, the preprocessing setup sounds good - then have a torrent of the whole lot (so people who make a lot of maps can reduce the traffic load) and the individual files I'll put up on .mac (and get another 1 GB of storage and extra 15GB/month traffic to see how it goes, and 250GB/month if it ends up being popular) and have them automatically downloaded and packaged from there for individual maps.

Let me know if you can process all of them and generate the county limits lookup file. In the meantime could you give me a sample with a few county files separately and then them packaged together (running stuff under Cygwin is not my strong point).

Processing seems to take a lot of time (~4 hours for 1 state) so I may need some help.. or it's gonna take some time to complete...

For now, I dumped a few processed county files here:

The boundry lookup file will look something like following:

36001,-74263978+42408347,-73680062+42819977
36003,-78309280+41998386,-77724801+42521658
36005,-73932213+40797995,-73781458+40912978
36007,-76129742+41997837,-75362599+42415484
36009,-79061271+41999239,-78308161+42533515
36011,-76736701+42618903,-76265611+43413902
36013,-79762144+41998292,-79059231+42569354
36015,-76965986+42000688,-76537438+42294387
36017,-75886765+42194990,-75296533+42744192
36019,-74022779+44438450,-73352603+45009862
36021,-73908313+41980556,-73362064+42507634

Format: [county code], [minlon+minlat],[maxlon+maxlat]
You'll have to divide values by 1,000,000 to get the correct coordinate values...

So, your application would go through the lookup file, pick and download the counties that match your map's coordinates, unzip the zipcodes in to some directory and then compress them back with algorithm, given in compr.c program, generating geodata.dat file...

NOTE:
In theory, 2 or more counties can share area with same zipcode(s), ie you may get the same zipcode filename in 2 different county zipfiles. In this case you'll have to merge the zipcode files with a same name and sort the data inside of them alphabetically by street name.

Let me know if you have any questions abou it..

Awesome! Just got the mapview working on 3.03 OE-A

There's a couple tricks to it:

Copy the 1.5 files into a created folder named 'GAME150'

Next, in the MAPS folder, once you've created your map with In7sanes map creator, create a folder '_MAP (whatever you named it)' & copy over ONLY the 16x, 8x, etc files.

That's it!

Can't wait for the PSP GPS function to work!

Thanks everyone!

but what do you think when the original version comes out?

And have i to cut the cable für the gps or can i buy one what is finished?

Alle kann ich Ihnen erklären, im Augenblick, daß ich den Diagrammprojektor habe auf, oe-a 3.03 zu arbeiten, ich warte bin, daß die Jungen darstellen aus, wie man es erhält, um den echten Sony PSP GPS verbunden zuSEIN.

All I can tell you right now is that I have the map viewer working on 3.03 oe-a, I am waiting for the boys to figure out how to get it to communicate with the Genuine Sony PSP GPS.

For those who are trying to run the cygwin geodata scripts - there is a bug in geo-map.sh

Edit the file. Change line 16 from:
find ./temp -name '*36065.ZIP'| { while read zip; do

to

find ./temp -name '*.ZIP'| { while read zip; do

I'm trying the revised script now.

Hmmm...OK...I'm at work right now, so I can try this later...so:

The 'mapthis' files go to the GAME302 folder & the 'usbgps.prx & usbacc.prx' go under which folder? GAME271?

I don't think MapThis goes under GAME302, unless I missed something.

The new USB GPS viewer goes under GAME302. The usbgps.prx and usbacc.prx go under "ms0:/camprx/".

Also können sie es mir erklären wie ich es machen muss und haben sie schon das programm oder ist es in der entwicklung?

Und wissen sie schon wann ein gps empfänger speziel für die psp herauskommen wird?

(Thus can they explain it to me like I it to make must and have them already the program or are it in the development? And do they know when a government inspection department receiver speziel for psp will already come out?)

MFG

Das Programm für Gebrauch mit dem geniune Sony gps Empfänger ist noch in Bewegung. Sie sind in Asien, ich kauften meine auf Ebay von Hong-Kong nur vorhanden, angekommen in sieben Tagen.

(The program for use with the geniune sony gps receiver is still in progress.

They are only available in Asia, I bought mine on Ebay from Hong Kong, arrived in seven days.)
