Re: Offline Navigation
 

I'm totally confused on how to run winmapper. I brought up the interface and filled in 40.1, -84.1 for the top left and 40.0, -84.0 for the bottom right. I selected zoom level 6. I clicked on Download for top left and got the error message: "System error: -2146697210. Line: 0"

Ignoring that, I selected region and street towards the bottom and the clicked on Download at the very bottom and it procedded to download something and then gave me a popup saying All Don!

I went to the directory where the maps were supposed to be stored and found under directory 6, I found two subdirectories: 545 and 546. Both directories were empty.

Is there a user manual for winmapper or at least a sample for using it?

Re: Offline Navigation
 

I downloaded by city name and it downloaded great. I transferred it to my mem card and installed. I changed the map repository to the new folder on my mem card, but can't seem to get it to work.

I also moved them to the "maps" folder on the internal memory, but still no luck. Can someone tell me how to do this, please?

Re: Offline Navigation
 

Are you doing this from your PC with winmapper then downloading to N770? And how do you find the long & lat coordinates.
Thanks, JB

In my case I made up the lat/lon coordinates. I know that they cover a block of terrain in my area. I would like to see a simple step-by-step list of how to use winmapper.

I would as well. I downloaded the maps for San Deigo on my sd card, but not sure what I do to get maemomapper to read those. Also even when I'm in offline mode, maemomapper always yells at me to go to online mode. Any way to disable this?

I downloaded from http://ioanghip.googlepages.com/winmapper.htm . It tried to download map, it created lots of directories but all are empty. I tried searching this forum, but couldn''t find any remedy. Does anybody else had this problem ? Any pointers to fix this (empty dirs) problem will also help.

Thanks.

Re: Offline Navigation
 

Same story here. I tried winmapper a few days ago using known latlong corners and gots lots of empty subdirectories. I gave up.

Looks like a very useful program but I am missing some key parameter to make it work!

Re: Offline Navigation
 

I removed the proxy server I was behind and connected directly to the net and then winmapper worked like a charm.

Wow, great news for you, too bad for me :(. I can pre-authenticate to my proxy server but disabling it altogether is a deal breaker. I wish there were some way around this.
