Hi all,

The Google Maps™ may be downloaded “on user request” when the PC is connected to the Internet, they are then saved on the PC for reuse or for when the PC is not connected to the Internet.

When zooming in the Location Tab, if the parts of the map area go black, it implies that parts of the maps for that Zoom level are not downloaded/installed.

To download those missing map parts:-
#1. Connect the PC to the Radio and the Internet
#2. Go to the Location Tab
#3. Right Click in the centre of the area you need (black) and a small “Map Icon” will be displayed
#4. Click the “Load Maps” button in the “GPS Map Control” part of the toolbar
#5. If you don’t live in the USA – Google Maps™ will limit the number of maps you can download at a time.



Remember to set you base station position and the type of Google Maps™ format that you wish to display i.e. Roadmap, Terrain, Satellite, Hybrid in the Configuration Section:-



Once the maps have been downloaded they can be copied to other PC's.

cheers

Is the Google Maps functionality not present in the Volunteer Freeware Copy?

Hi W4JEW,

Google maps was swapped over to Open Street View when Google required individual Registration and started to charge for map downloads.

P.S. 2 x Apps use OSM. TransTRBO.exe and MTNetTester.exe

Transtrbo Is not more able to download Maps. Version 0.1.3.4

Hi leonardikkio,

A couple of people have informed me via the forums that Open Street Maps had stopped downloading.

I checked with an existing version of MTNetTester and got the same problem.

So, I investigated it this morning (again with MTNetTester) and found that the URL being produced by a 3rd party code was the problem.
I’m guessing it’s because OSM and most other web site moved from HTTP to HTTPS

The bug was subtle and produced : http://tile.openstreetmap.org//1/0/0.png
when now it needs to produce: http://tile.openstreetmap.org/1/0/0.png

Try it!

Anyway the same bug exists in TransTRBO map download.

So I’ll now have to produce a new version of TT & MTNetTester for release.

Hopefully be later today.
Thanks for the help.

cheers
Will
