Yes it works well to show China map now! thanks very much!

Just curious how do you get the url?

btw i m still interested in converting other formats of maps. how to convert the lon-lan to the index number and the specfic pixel in the 256X256 image, and vise verser? i thought out a formula but i m doubhtful that it might be wrong.

I think some one tried this before, follow the below link and look for kempja's post, you may get some idea.

I went to the URL that you sent me in my browser (any browser should work, I think, but I used a Mozilla-based one), and once I saw the javascript-enabled map, I right-clicked on it and selected "Copy Image Address to Clipboard". I then examined the URL and found the x, y, and zoom variables. This particular example's URL looked like this:

http://mapgoogle.mapabc.com/googlechina/maptile?v=w2.61&x=11&y=6&zoom=13

It was pretty easy to interpret because it was identical to normal Google's URL format. It was really just a matter of discovering the hostname and path of the map script (mapgoogle.mapabc.com/googlechina/maptile).

Take a look at this post to get an idea about how to convert lat/lon to tile number. If you know C, you can look at the code to get more details. Let me know if you have any specific questions about it.

I met the problem of mising the package "libsqlite3-0 (>=3.3.5) & "libxau0" when I am trying to install 1.4.7.2 under 2007 Hack OS on 770. But I can install 1.4.7.3 successfully (though it always crashes). I guess I have missed some software repostories but I could not figure them out.

Could you please help on this? Thanks!

I found that this could not be done in IE in windows... The right click will always bring out a context menu. But using the 770 self brownser it is succeesful to get the URL in this way. That's great!

It is cool! I will try to look at these...

I just started using mapper, and my initial thoughts are extremely positive. I find the flite voice is not loud enough considering road noise, etc. I think there should at least be a flite volume control in the program. Ideally, hooking it up to BT external speaker/speakerphone would solve this problem. Anyone care to share how they overcome the roadnoise issue-or do I just have an unusually loud car interior?!

Re: Maemo Mapper v1.4 for 770/N800
 

Unfortunately, there isn't a volume control for flite itself. It just pipes the audio through the audio system, which uses Maemo's volume control. I wish I could make it louder...

Re: Maemo Mapper v1.4 for 770/N800
 

Most non-dedicated navigation hardware (including my Palm T3 w/TomTom) will have a problem getting loud enough (it's kind of always just that bit too low..). Or at least the sound tends to break up if you do manage to crank it high enough.

Your best bet is probably to plug the car's sound system into the headphone socket on the N800, if your system can accomodate it.

These kind of questions are often up on dedicted forums for phones and PDAs running navigation software, and some people find solutions where e.g. output from the navigation system will temporarily mute your CD or FM radio when it's got something to say ('turn around when possible' is the most dreaded one.. ;))

How do you get ve hybrid and google maps ? i only have mapstreet

Re: Maemo Mapper v1.4 for 770/N800
 

Thanks for the replies, gnuite and TA-t3. I trIed a small speaker attached to the IT, and while the volume was better, it looked like an eyesoar. Full BT support in the next firmware would make mapper even more the killer app.
