To download the tool, go to
http://code.google.com/p/mmpcmapper/downloads/list
To learn more, read the following
IEMapper is a PC Windows software utility that can find map tile files from Microsoft Internet Explorer (MSIE) cache, copy, rename and store them to specified directories in Maemo Mapper (MM) 1.xx map file storage style, to build/update your MM map repository on a Windows PC. It's the same way that you do map downloading while browsing in Maemo Mapper, but on a PC you need to run this tool after browsing the map sites.
This tool provides an easy, interactive way to build your map repository on your PC, use it in parallel with winmapper will make the process faster.
This is a command line application, but you can make a batch file to run it. The tool only supports to collect map tile files from MSIE cache, not with other web browsers. Thus you need to play with the map sites using MSIE web browser to get it work, MSIE version 4.0 or above is required.
To execute the application, run at the command line:
>iemapper config_file
The config file is a text file, which specifies the top directories for different map tile file systems, and map levels you expect to build. Just modified the supplied config file template, it's self-explained. At this release, the application can build/update map repository for the following map tile systems:
Google Street Map
Google Satellite Image
Google Satellite Image Mask (Google map uses them to label the sat image)
Google Terrain Map
Google Chinese Map, the map is in Chinese
Virtual Earth Map
Virtual Earth Satellite Image
Virtual Earth Hybrid Image
The utility will copy these map tile files to the directories specified in config file by the user. The storage structure follows exactly the MM 1.xx map repository style. User can enable/disable copying certain map tile systems by simply adding or remove their repository paths.
If the target map tile file already exists, IEMapper will compare the file's modification time with that from the map server, only newer files will be copied. So it's safe to run the tool many times. The copied map tile file's modification time will be set exactly as the source file, thus your map repository is always synchronized with map servers. If the target map tile file is empty(size 0), IEMapper will overwrite it. Since some time MM or Winmapper may generate corrupted empty map tile files, using this tool can repair the map repository.
Two batch file templates are provided with this release, user can modify the paths within 2 files. They are used to update your SD card's MM 1.xx map repository or synchronize it with your PC. Only newer files will be copied to the target every time you execute them.
