If you are interested in the URL formats this is one of the best resources i have found: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/scrapb...?display=Print unfortunately it still references older links.

Eventually after much confusion inspiration struck, all i did was go to the Google maps web page, right clicked on a tile and checked its source URL. Yes it is that simple (-:

forgive my ignorance. I went to google maps on my pc, using firefox. I right cliked on the map but I didn't see any URL.
Clearly I am missing something, where do you click?
Thanks

The issue now is that the zoom parameter is inverted.
Value 0 shows the entire earth and 17 shows the closest view.
So when maemo mapper try to get a url with z=6, it should be
z=11 (17-6). When mm say z=5, it should be z=12 (17-5), and so on.
I think the only way to get mm to work with this is to modify the source
code, but i couldn't compile mm yet.

Awe, crud. When did they flip it? If it's flipped, then that means the map database I've been building is worthless. Drat, drat, drat, and drat again. T_T

Hi,
In firefox you may need to disable the context menu, use the about:config page and ensure the following setting is set false:

Code:

dom.event.contextmenu.enabled

Now a right mouse click on the map will give the standard firefox context menu, select the item 'Properties'.

Another way to get the information would be via (menu)->Tools->'Page Info' and look under the media section as this will list all of the images on the page. Click on an item associated with a map tile for the full information.

Sucks doesn't it )-: thankfully you can download all of that data again replacing 'z' with 'zoom' in the URL. Of course Google will probably drop the traditional zoom parameter ASAP but they will break a large number of APIs to do so.

Would there be any way to spoof google maps into thinking the tablet is an Iphone using Maps?

Oh, so replace z with zoom and we're back in business then? OH sweetness. Thanks!

It still sucks that I gotta rebuild that entire DB, but I think I'll go with a smaller footprint and work up from there just in case they pull this bs again. ^_^

EDIT: Looks like the script I was working with was already using the "zoom" parameter. Hmm. Then maybe my db wasn't all that off then. Too bad I deleted it before checking the script. T_T Ah well, start over I guess.

Hi,

I want to use the following maps in maemo mapper:
http://topo.geofabrik.de/?zoom=10&la...1.55&layers=BT

It is an openstreetmap with topographical stuff for germany.

I try to use the following URL in maemo mapper but it doesen't work:
http://topo.geofabrik.de/?zoom=%d&lat=%d&lon=%d

What I did wrong?

Give this a go:

Code:

http://topo.geofabrik.de/trails/%0d/%d/%d.png

The URL encoding is zoom/x/y maemo-mapper uses '%0d' to identify this geocoding scheme.

The results are not that good as the tiles use a lot of transparency causing problems with artefacts from previous layers and the fact that maemo-mapper uses a black canvas by default.
Nice area for trekking (-:

Oy, that's the URL from hell. >.< From what I can see, it's using VE, so since someone else has already cracked the VE for street view, I suspect this one will be easy enough, however, given its unique encoding, it may require an update to MM to make it work. Which brings up another good point. Isn't it about time to add plugin support to MM so that we don't need entire version bumps just to deal with the rapidly changing image encoding standards? The plugins could handle all the translating and MM could then settle on one way to do things, thus making it easier for it to do things.
