i tried using gmdl0.4.15 to download maps but couldn't. all i got is a whole lot of .png files and GSFS, GSFS1, GSFS2, GSFS3, GSFS4.

i copied these to

Inside the folder "map" you need to create a map _london (you forgot the underscore).

Then it will work i guess

[Liquid Smoke]

yea just add an _ to the London folder

so it'll be .../map/_London/

and then in there just put the GPSFS files, it'll work, so no need to use the PNG files since they will take more space and take very long to transfer.

i did add the "_" infront of london..........but when i load it on mapthis.....it says:-

"loading map" then the memory stick light flashes and doesn't stop ultimately freezing the screen.

please help.

What is the size of the map you are trying to load?

Try this. When you start Map This! load the _Global_Map that comes zipped with Map This! first (make sure you unzip it before placing it on your memory card). If you can't fit the _Global_Map on your memory stick with the map you want on the memory stick then just make a really small map that will fit on the memory stick with the map you want. That should load fine.
Next, press select to go back to the map selection screen and then select the map you're trying to open.

I am using a 3+ gig map of South Florida and occasionally it gets stuck as you are describing. I just load the _Global_Map first and then the large map loads fine.
It is also possible that the map you are trying to load is too large.

Good luck and let me know how it works out.

the map i am trying to load is 8.84 mb... is that too big?

No, that's not too big. Did the _Global_Map load properly? Did you try to load it?

Your welcome. Yes, the Geodata works in the U.S. I honestly don't know if that is what enables me to look up address' or not. It may very well be.

Just a thought, but will it affect Mapthis! according to what kernel mode your using at all?, i use 1.5 kernel, and i get the same problems suggested by bhubiz, does anyone know if this affects the way it works, also, could plugins affect the performance? thanks for a speedy reply anyone ;p lol
