I was wondering why the maps take up 5 times as much space than they are supposed to. As I downloaded the maps, it said downloading 0.1 mb, 1.12 mb, 15 mb etc. and when I added it in my head it was no more than 50 mb. But when I go to the map file, it's 250+ mb. Do I have some kind of setting wrong or what?
Hi All,
I'm having a problem updating the maps for (Google Satellite), the download always fails.
This http://kh.google.com/... URL seems to be ever changing!!
and it actually worked a couple of weeks ago, but not anymore..
namorvx, you mentioned in your post that you've been able to figure out the change in the URL by reviewing the source code, could you please instruct us (n00bs ) how we could do that..
I tried to check the source code on "http://maps.google.com/" but in vain....
My problem (well 2 or 3 problems) is that when mapper does download, I only get the folder structure. No images?
2nd one of folders it creates has special permissions now I can't delete? (I'll have to run as admin to remove but that's a bug I'll try to report)
3rd It's not downloading anything now, it just say "all done!"
Unfortunately, I could not run it inside MM. Any ideas how to do this?
Unfortunately, it would be impossible for Maemo Mapper to automatically download those maps, without code changes. The tile numbering is too King-County-specific.

Maemo Mapper's estimate can vary widely in accuracy, particularly between repositories. Maemo Mapper doesn't know the average tile size on a per-server basis - I just picked a number. Satellite images are particularly prone to exceeding Maemo Mapper's estimate.
So don't worry, nothing's wrong. Maemo Mapper's estimates are just inaccurate.

Many Thanks for your help in advance!
Google Satellite maps seem to be unavailable, perhaps indefinitely. They don't seem to be very accepting of satellite imagery being pulled off of their servers in an automated fashion, and I'm not inclined to fight that.

I understand, but it could be a kind of scaling matrix or something like that to convert one set of numbers into another, which could be configured in repository info, so if we can match coordinates, we could use the repository. Are these numbers just hard-coded?
) how we could do that..
