0.5 MapThis and GMDL

August 28th, 2007, 05:13 Posted By: Denisottawa

Hello Deniska and In7ane,
Thanks a lot for your nice job.:thumbup:
I had MapThis 0.4 - 0.499 , and now use 0.5 MapThis and 0.5.00 b GMDL.
05 works much more stable, but it seems to me that for driving I prefer map view not a birdeye. May be i have to get accustomed to it.
One thing I would like to see at future MapThis editions is the possibility to be out of the map without permanent flashing warhings.
Because of the size problem for my trips sometimes I use more than 20 different maps for MapThis and I have to switch them while driving. Sometimes they do not overlap and I look at the flashing warning for 2-5 minutes before I get to a new map. May be there are possibilities to show the warning and then to display my position on the screen outside of the map? like some routes of POI do.
May be the program can show the distance to the map border or just coordinates with a small warning?

The second question is about GMDL :thumbup:
I have highspeed and used GMDL for cutting map, hybrid and Toporama maps (with help from In7ane). My PSP map collection now is more than 3.5 GB (mostly Canada). But yesterday I tried to cut a hybrid Google map and in 20 minutes got
message:

Google Satellites tile test failed
May be an idea to change connection
Best regards
In7ane


I disconnected and connected again (with new IP) - and the problem dissapeared (for another 20 min). What is it? With big maps it's not a very comfortable way of cutting. MS VE does not have HQ sat view of some regions so i can not change the source. What could be done here?

And the last question.
Guys, vy russkie? ili net?

Best regards,
Denis
