gMapMaker - Map Tile Downloader for Windows

[libeco]

I have downloaded some maps:
- Brussel, zoom 14-18, fast and rough, Google hybrid
- Benelux, zoom 6-8, fast and rough, Google road
- Europe, zoom 3-5, fast and rough, Google road

I've placed them on my phone (Nokia N85) and told MGMaps to look for the stored files in that folder, set it to offline and restarted. I can see the Europe map (Google road) just fine. But here's my first problem, I keep getting questions from my phone if I want to grant access to the mgm-file, with every change I make (like panning, zooming, or changing map type). This is really annoying, is there a way to always accept this?

The Benelux road map loads fine with the same problem as described.

My second problem is the Google hybrid map of Brussel. It just doesn't show. It also keeps asking for permission to access the mgm file, but it only shows the zoom out image.

Any advice? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your answer. I found that setting and changed it, that's a whole lot easier than clicking yes all the time.

When I open the mgm files on my pc in Windows' own media viewer I can see the image files without a problem, but somehow on the phone they won't work. Now I'm trying to get a hybrid Microsoft map of Brussel to see if that works any better.

Thanks!

Hi, I just registred so this is my first post.
First of all, thanks Cristian for constantly updating gMapMaker!
I use this wonderful program quite a lot, always trying to avoid being banned by Google. This would be greatly simplified if gMapMaker would accept command line parameters.
Is it possible to implement such a feature? It would allow to run gMapMaker multiple times using a Batch or a VBscript program.

Thanks!

Hello,

this is Werner from Germany and I am a new member, just registered, while I am a long and quite pleased user of GmapMaker.
Now I have found a problem with data-downloads of Google-Sat-Pictures.

May be I have a similiar problem as bins above with downloads.
I try to download Google-Sat-Pics, which have been implemented with higher resolution for Libya since some few days, but the result is an empty folder.
I use version 0.7.3.2.
If I do the same for Egypt everything is fine.

From my point of view there are some differences when looking at the data using Google-Maps, which may lead to this effect:
- The egyptian area alwas shows the same kind of data, only changing the zoom (it has the faint color of new data up to zoom=16);
- The libyan area shows the former data (valid up to zoom 13; strong color) and only if you increase the zoom-factor >=13 you see the new data (new data have faint colors).

A similiar effect may be present in western-Africa (Morocco, Algeria, Mauretania etc.).

Looking at GoogleEarth in both areas the faint-colored data is shown for all zoom-levels.

Does anybody (may be Christian) know, how to acquire this data for Zoom-levels >=13?

Thanks in advance
Werner

Hi Christian,

many thanks for this fast help; I thought it was something like that, but I do not know, how to find the correct version-number.

Can you give a hint, how to find this?
Looking into the download of GoogleMaps could help, or?

Thanks again and kind regards
Werner

Hi CHristian,

thanks for the updated config-file; works great.

Another question:
If I look at http://www.mgmaps.com/cache/ I see a new version of gMapMaker version 0733.
When I download and install it I get version 0732. Is this correct?

Cheers
Werner

I concur with Werner,

There seems to be a mixup of gmapmaker versions in the cache directory.

Version 0732 has been posted, instead of the advertized 0733.

I tried both the MSI and EXE versions, same results.

Just thought I'd confirm Werner's find.

Regards,

Franzl

Hello.
Absolutely new to maps and related software etc., and I am purchasing a PND and trying to install maps. so attempting to install mgmaps.

I have .net installed on my machine at C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727
When I first tried to install mgmaps through setup, there was a message to setup registry key to point to the location. I did so, still unable to install with the message as attached in the picture.

thanks for the help

Hello everybody,

Locking for a program for generating my own maps for my GPS I have found gMapMaker. Congratulations to the developers as it is the best I have found!

However I am having problems with OpenCycleMap Type: generated images are all black and white squares (in JPEG, PNG and TIFF formats). Same happens with OpenAerialMap type, but when OpenStreetMap or OSMArenderer types are selected everythig works fine!

I have checked donwloaded tiles and seem to be correct...

Am I doing something in a not appropiate way? Could it be a bug in the code or problems with the server?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello and a Happy New Year!

Is it possible to adapt the gMapMaker to work with the Yandex.Maps?
