[dramroo]

thank you for your great app..
But how to add google maps to my online maps
thanks

[Menion]

you're welcome

google maps aren't allowed due to their strict terms of use

[dramroo]

thanks for reply,,
but is there any other satellite map other than Google maps gives me high level of zoom??
I tried the one available in locus it has poor resolution and zoom is not enough,,,

[Menion]

there are two satellite maps as I know. ArcGIS (not quite good at least in central Europe) and MapQuest ... and these are at least in Prague, very nice. So check it. Also maybe someone may help you personally with Google maps issue ...

[dramroo]

thanks but I need it for Saudi Arabia

[gkovacsp]

two, three days max

I've just downloaded it and the map is beautiful...

Just for curiosity, can you post me the provider XML file to learn from it?

Thanks a lot,
Gabor

[Menion]

fine ... I'm using some private server that is not currently on public I think, anyway XML you published here

viewtopic.php?f=21&t=45&start=60#p6832

if correct. There was problem with 512x512 tile size. All other maps usually use 256x256 tiles. Anyway this is fixed now and this definition should also work

[DocSeppi]

Probably a workaround for Bergfex.

THANK YOU SO MUCH Axelpix for this great workaround for this wonderful maps!!! I will enjoy a lot hiking around using
it. Thank you!

just found another solution for downloading unlimited from own server via mobac. thats even better to let the computer do the work then the phone.

i might write a little howto here on the forum

Hey Sebbo

I would be really interested in to you tutorial to get the maps from geo.admin

would be nice to have a "valid for" attribute for providers to set a default value for the option you can set in the map manager.

[berkley]

You mean that there should be a value in there by default?

[brotbuexe]

I think it would be only nice for the weather forecast overlay. For other maps it is no use.
it would be silly to make a attribute for 4-5 maps noone would use...
They can set the valid value in the map manager...

Hi menion. Could you offer some korea maps?
1. DAUM map (http://local.daum.net)
2. NAVER map (http://map.naver.com)

The biggest problem is that, these maps doesn't use wgs84 coordinate. it uses TM, KATEC coordinate.
but it seems like there is a solution.
http://code.google.com/r/swkim01-osmand/source/browse/
This is OsmAnd Korea map sources. so you can consult this one.

Tile url : DataExtractionOSM/src/net/osmand/map/TileSourceManager.java
Coordinate transformation : DataExtactionOSM/src/net/osmand/osm/GeoPoint.java, GeoTrans.java, MapUtils.java(wgs84), DaumMapUtils.java(ㅇDAUM map-TM), NaverMapUtils.java(NAVER map-KATEC)

Of course, I got developer's consent to use this sources to put in LOCUS. I hope you consider this...

menion !
Have u considered about the above ?

I also want to add the above online map(Daum, Naver)
I really want to read your comment about this.

Have a happy X-mas!

[Kay Cichini]

I cant get this provider to work. Tiles come from my privat webhoster.

EDIT: I see the map in 'online maps' list properly, but the view tells me 'Kartenbereich nicht verfügbar' (German for 'Maparea not available')..

Anyone who can help out?

Thanks!

Hi Kay,

problem is
- you do not see you map in list of maps?
- you see it and can't select?
- you can select but map is not visible? In this case, what you see on map as an error text?

Anyway I think problem should be with zoom levels. ZoomMin 8 means whole world (it comes from size of map tiles, where  2^8 = 256px)

Your zoom level 8 (directory 8 on server) is computed by "zoomPart, where for zoom 16 (whole map size 2^16) is used (16 - 8 = directory 8. So try to change max zoom level to for example 20 and check if you in level 16 see your map
