daemonforce: MM works good if you want high quality maps. The tradeoff is that you end up with huge DB's and some slowdowns. If you want highly accurate maps, but don't need all the eye candy, Navit works well, although it's sorta in a pre-alpha state right now.

Hi,

I am trying to import maps from www.planplus.rs.

Each tile has the following URL:
http://www.planplus.rs/Services/getimage.aspx?zoom=$level&x=$x&y=$y&orto=0&porto=0
Example points to the upper left corner of the zoom level 11: http://www.planplus.rs/Services/geti...orto=0&porto=0
The tiles are 250px x 250px
zoom is ranged from (11 to 1), where 1 is most details.

The maps is split in zoom levels.
Inside the zoom level, each tile is identified through x-y integer pair, which does not relate to the X or Y absolute coordinates, or latitude and longitude.

Can you suggest on how to import this map? At the moment I can not identify projection which is used. (it will take some time to perform some measurements of whell known points).

Can you point to the document/url where supported projections and URL substitutions are explained in more details?

Best regards,
Momcilo

I'm gonna defer to GNUite on this one. He's the one who built the program. I think it'll work the way it is, but I'm not sure how to hack the URL. On a side note, this is an excellent example of why a drop in config or repositories file would work best on these. Something that could tell MM how each site works without having to complete reprogram the entire app for each change.

Does anyone know how I can get access to the Virtual Earth satellite images outside Maemo Mapper?

I've found them on Microsoft's Bling thing, but I don't like the interface.

Ideally I'd like to see the images in Google Earth or MATLAB or a GIS package.

Following LES' example of the new URL for Google Streets from June 2009, I succeeded in getting names inside the State of Israel (and also the disputed territories) in Hebrew, while the surrounding states of Lebanon, Jordan, and Egypt are in Arabic/English, by using:

http://mt.google.com/vt/v=w2.97&hl=he&x=%d&y=%d&zoom=%d

I created a new repository reference "Google Streets Hebrew" so that I could use either version.

thanks both to Matan and LES

After seeing someone talking about NOAA charts on an iPhone app, I played around and converted some to a slippy map that works on my tablet. They aren't all there, just ones more useful for myself (Vancouver, Canada). Note the usage restrictions. No guarantees I will keep them current. Overlaps between charts are crude, so some data is lost at certain zoom ratios at chart edges (Nautical charts are published in a random mish-mash of different scales and locations, often overlapping, having no relation to the binary splits of slippy maps)

Hi,

I am sorry if I am in totally wrong thread here, anyone knowing a better place for this quesiton, please feel free to comment and tell me where to post this...

I just got a N810 from a friend andI am a total newbie with maemo/Linux.

My aim is to use the maemo mapper for boating here in Finland (yep, summer is over so this is more for next summer).

My plan was to load the local "karttapaikka" maps to the mapper. Mapper itself was already installed.

Installing the maps didn't work out and it actually caused the mapper not to start any more.

So I removed the maps and since it didn't help I removed the mapper as well with the idea of re-installing it.

But now I am not able to install it.
I get this "some catalogues unavailable" message and the details has several lines of
"http://repository.maemo.org/extras/dists/chinook/free/binary-armel/Packages.gz"
"Sub-process gzip returned an error code (100)"

And still I am able to go to the "http://repository.maemo.org/extras/dists/chinook/free/binary-armel"-directory with my N810 browser and even copy the Packages.gz file.

I found this:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=199019
And edited the repository list based on Laughing Man's instructions - still not working...

So any help or guidance is welcome...

Cheers...

It's http://mt.google.com/vt/v=w2p.110&x=%d&y=%d&zoom=%d

I just needed it and figured it out.

EDIT: NM, I read the post wrong. I thought they had bumped the streets URL again. ^_^;;

That one worked, thanks!
