Deniska? Care to comment?

I hope that Deniska sees that he has a LOT of work to do hehe. Nieko presented various versions, MIB.42, atari800 and himself has various versions.

Hope to see that Deniska can combine them all

holy shi... amazing!

just tested this little php script with the psp browser and it works just fine!

ok, I don't understand what this means: "Show max. 400 points (trim midpoints)" but it looks very fine when activated.

Nieko, another name to remember! Good work... now no pc is needed any more :=)

If you can code it in .asp i can help you host it

I have a server on a 200/200 Mbit/s pipe without any limitations regarding transfer :thumbup:

it would be nice if you could integrate multilanguage-support!

PDG: thanks for the offer, but I don't know ASP, and I can host it at my work if necessary.

Waltrock: for now, that's not a priority. I'll first include sound support in my PHP script, make that customizable, and then work on MapThis itself a bit.

But who knows, perhaps after that

Hi all

With the new sound support in MapThis 0.5 and higher, I have updated my route proxy with sound support as well. The main changes I made to MapThis when I first released this script (see first post in this thread) have been built into the official MapThis, so this script now works flawlessly with newer MapThis versions!

The script can be found at: http://getroute.nieko.net/

As always, you can input source and destination address to get your route, and there is some fault handling ("Source location not found", "Couldn't calculate route", etc.)

The changelog is as follows:

Removed trimming of midpoints, MapThis handles this just fine;
Removed images from front page (MapThis has these by default);
Introduced sound list, default is more or less the same as the GMDL version;
Sound list is also customizable (through a cookie).

Press the "Manage sound list" button to see how to create your own sound list.

Just wanted to drop a line to say thankyou for this sweet little addition.

Side question for both you and Deniska

how hard or impossible will it be to include native lookup and waypoint creation using the address lookup in MapThis! , instead of requiring internet access to hit a 3rd party site to perform the lookup?

**Nieko** · September 13th, 2007, 12:28

There's two ways this can be done.

One, have an extra screen in MapThis that takes care of actually downloading the route (either through the proxy, or processing it itself), saving it, etc. I think this would have MapThis take on too much functionality, so you can still just do this through the browser.

Two, actually calculate the route, like Google does, in MapThis. For this you need more data than is currently available, and I think there is already a thread about this. The conclusion was something like "not for some time to come", unfortunately.
