Not really. Most tile numbers are referenced from 0 degrees latitude, 0 degrees longitude. King County's tile numbers are referenced from some random point near King County. I could technically add another option to specify the reference point, but since King County is the only website (that I know of) to use such a reference point, it wouldn't make sense from a general standpoint. It would be useless for >99.99% of use cases.

If you feel strongly about it, feel free to modify the source code and make a .deb that understands King County's peculiarities. Or, if enough people care about it, then someone else will do so. That's the power of open source, after all.

Thanks for reply. I was not asking to do that for me. I was just asking if it is done already. From priorities point of view, sure, we need other things first. Personally, I want to return google terrain.

I both understand your reluctance to fight that decision, and wish that you would try. Is there some way to get a key for your app that would allow it to have automated access? Is there a bugzilla-style bugtracker that you could submit this to? Are there no strings to pull, no ears to bend?

And as I said, I understand your reluctance to fight this, so if you say "No," it will make me sad, not angry.

google maps in Hebrew still works. Only need to increase version again from 2.89 to 2.92, so url is

http://mt.google.com/mt?v=w2.92&hl=iw&x=%d&y=%d&zoom=%d

Also for google satellite this URL appears to work:

Has anyone gotten the nexrad weather radar to work recently? I've tried it as both a layer and a map repo and neither work. As a repo it reports back "20 maps failed to download" and I never see anything. Neither were setup to have a cache db.

As I have already mentioned earlier in this thread, the largest newspaper of Costa Rica has a much more detailed map of the country than the regular Google street map, even though this map seems to be based on Google maps:
http://lnmapas.nacion.co.cr/maps/index.shtml

Sometimes a real good map would be a blessing in this country, where street signs are between rare and no existent.

I have tried to tinker with that map to use it in MaemoMapper, but to no avail. I simply do not know enough about that stuff. I wonder if one of the experts in this matter could have a look on the source of that maps in order to find out if there is a usable repository available.

I could, of course, ask the people at the newspaper. But I am pretty sure that they know even less about MM than I do.

Google Maps added a layer that shows webcams all over the world.

Any idea how to get this layer into Maemo Mapper?

Is google satellite (from above post) repository broken, or is it just me?
