If anyone is interested in taking this further, I will gladly share my ZW template!

I am thinking of making one with a map of Europe and one with a world map. My ultimate goal is to have them all in one zooper skin: when I am within the Netherlands showing the NL map, when I am outside the Netherlands but within Europe showing the European map instead and have the world map showed when outside Europe. I am not yet sure if this is possible at all, but it would be really great.

It might be possible using advanced parameters, but I am not sure quite how. If someone has an idea, feel free to help me ;)
[Zooper Widget Templates] gw482:
Please share it. It looks very interesting :)
[Zooper Widget Templates] jonaseymour:
I'm assuming this would only work with an equirectangular map projection, otherwise the location would be off by some way in some places. Particularly the edges.
[Zooper Widget Templates] hubert_joost:
stephane gideski

Finally, I didn't know what the needed type of map was called, but equiretangular seems the right one! The usual Mercator map doesn't work especially the further north or south you go. With smaller maps, like the country map of the Netherlands which I used the distortion isn't that big. Especially with the world map you would need an equirectangular map projection.
[Zooper Widget Templates] hubert_joost:
That is also why the first map that Kevin Moyer used (second picture in the first post) used didn't really work. His location on the map shows somewhere on the US south coast, which is quite close to the equator. For him it would be fairly accurate, further up north it would be way off.

I hope to come up with a world map quite soon (not much time though since I will be at a conference this week)!
[Zooper Widget Templates] hubert_joost:
The ZW template can be downloaded through My Colorscreen: look for "Locate Me"

There is a download link to the skin, the ZW template with the map is called NL dock.zw (I am not yet allowed to post links here)
[Zooper Widget Templates] jonaseymour:
I had a little play with a equirectangular map yesterday and it works really well, but I used a different method. You don't need to use 2 progress bars, I find it much easier just to use a rectangle with these advanced parameters.

[ox]$((#LLONG#/180)*{length from centre to edge of bitmap})$[/ox]

[oy]$((#LLAT#/90)*{length from centre to top of bitmap}*-1)$[/oy]

So all you need to do is measure what offset gets the rectangle from the centre to the edge and top of the bitmap and put that in the code.

You also have to make sure the bitmap is centred properly. Worked perfectly when I tested the codes for Brisbane, Australia, LA, and Buenos Aires.

[Zooper Widget Templates] restinbeast:
Hi, I would like to use this method but having a little bit of trouble.

When you say the length from centre to edge of bitmap, what are you entering in there? The pixel measurement of the image?

For example if my map is 1080 pixels wide, would I enter 540?

Edit: I am an idiot and need to read closer. I understand what you are saying now about measuring the offset. My crosshairs still seem to be off. Not sure what the problem is, maybe i need to find a different map.
[Zooper Widget Templates] hubert_joost:
What is the map you are using? You could share it so that we can check.
[Zooper Widget Templates] jonaseymour:
Equirectangular maps

Here's a bunch of centred equirectangular maps I editted.

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/bopz7zn0kude23k/calgDZ70l8

I'm going to try to figure out how to put the svg into a font so that we can get a decent vector in zooper. don't know how at the moment.
[Zooper Widget Templates] kevin1282:
Hi guys. I'm Kevin, who made the widget in the first post. Just wanted to say I was sorry that I didn't originally post the an Equirectangular projection was needed. I'm a merchant mariner and took for granted not everyone knew that would be required to keep the latitude spacing even. Oops. Mine was accurate actually, it looks offshore because I was when I came up with it and shared. :o

But I think the second solution described is much better than mine. I kept trying to find a way to get a bitmap to track to my location instead of a cross-hair over the whole thing. Very nice job in developing that!

I have a zooper widget which contains a world map along with some weather information. The world map is located on the right side of the widget. I am trying to set a pin on my current location by following your information. How do I go about finding the center and edges of the map image?
[Zooper Widget Templates] SavanTorian:
When the worldmap is 480*250 (or 625*316) , scale 100 and position middle, what are the values for

[ox]$((#LLONG#/180)*{length from centre to edge of bitmap})$[/ox] <--? where is the edge?

[oy]$((#LLAT#/90)*{length from centre to top of bitmap}*-1)$[/oy] <--? where is the top?

please help , thx
[Zooper Widget Templates] jonaseymour:
Ok, so my maps have a small dot in the corners of the bitmap to show me where the edge is. To find out length from centre to edge of bitmap I make a 1 pixel wide line in the centre and move it to the left until I hit those dots, the x offset is the input in the formula. Then I rotate it 90 degrees and move it down until I hit the bottom dot, the y offset is the input to the second formula.

If your bitmap is not centered you need to add more offset adjustments to get it to work it's more complicated and fraught with errors.
[Zooper Widget Templates] SavanTorian:
hey, cool, it works :))) thx alot!
[Zooper Widget Templates] jonaseymour:
So if your bitmap is 500px wide, that means the length from center to edge is 250 correct, and length from center to top would be 125?

Therefore the formulae for the pointer should be:

[ox]$((#LLONG#/180)*250)$[/ox]

[oy]$((#LLAT#/90)*-125)$[/oy]

This assumes that your bitmap is properly centered on GMT and equator and that the edges are the correct edges for the projection.

[Zooper Widget Templates] ritalin:
Hey guys, I actually created a Map Font to accomplish this same thing. Best part is, since its a TTF file, that means the map inside the TTF is actually a vector file. SO this means you can scale the map to whatever size you want, or change its color all without losing image quality.

You can find the map here.

[Zooper Widget Templates] dexterdweller:
Were you successful in getting these files? I would love to get them as well.

Thanks
[Zooper Widget Templates] jonaseymour:
Sorry guys, had to have a clean out of my dropbox folders. Running out of space.

I don't use bitmaps anymore in my widgets since I got my hands on this map font (in zip attached) . It's a vector and able to be any colour you want.

I've also put a zw file from my xda theme in there to show you how to use it. Should work.

Guide:

a = Solid

b = Solid Boarders

c = Outline

d = Outline Boarders

e = Lat/Long grid

f = Background shape, helpful with aligning the font to where it should sit in the widget.

Draw out a 2:1 rectangle first, then put the font down and use the 'f' character. Scale it up till it covers the shape layer you just make. Then change the character in that font layer to a,b,c,d, or e.

Use the method described in previous posts to make a crosshair.
[Zooper Widget Templates] dexterdweller:
Greatly appreciated! I'll try this out. Thanks! :good:
[Zooper Widget Templates] m.zambonelli:
Hi,

I would like to understand better what you did because I'm trying to edit this zooper skin http://mycolorscreen.com/2014/03/21/popup-color-ui/ where has an interesting meteo map but it's not interactive (mainly he just put a dot on his city and this is it, I am trying to make this dot interactive and let him move according to the coordinate).

Sadly it's not easy because the image isn't centered but I'm trying.

What I would like to understand is why you divide LLONG by 180 and LLAT by 90 and why you subtract 1 from LLAT results.

Thanks,

Max
[Zooper Widget Templates] jonaseymour:
LLONG goes from min -180 to max 180 - tha's why you divide by that. Same for LLAT, it goes from -90 to 90.

You need to change the sign of the LLAT values, so you multiply by -1.

If your image is not centered youd just neet to find out the x and y values to get from the centre of the widget to the centre of the map and add those to the calculations.

i think i messed around with map bitmap size and placement. i stopped using the "map" thing awhile ago so i dont recall. sorry
[Zooper Widget Templates] jonaseymour:
Try just adding an adjustment value at the end of the calculation.

So instead of: [ox]$((#LLONG#/180)*180)$[/ox]

Try: [ox]$(((#LLONG#/180)*180)-30)$[/ox] to move it to the left by 30, use +30 for the right.

[oy]$((#LLAT#/90)*70*-1)$[/oy]

[Zooper Widget Templates] brizey:
Just do a linear transform.

Place you map.

Identify two hard east west locations and two hard north south locations. For example, I have a map of Texas, and I looked up the extreme north latitude, the extreme south latitude, the extreme west longitude and the extreme east longitude of the state.

I then used a 1 unit wide rectangle and found at what offset each of those were (top of image on map = extreme north, etc.)

Then just calculate the lines (slope and intercept) that transform LLAT to vertical offset and LLONG to horizontal offset.

vertical:

slope = (image top - image bottom)/(LLAT north - LLAT south)

intercept=image top - slope * LLAT north

(y=mx+b. x=input=LLAT, y=output=vertical offset. m=(y1-y2)/(x1-x2), b=y1-mx1 if you don't remember algebraic geometry).

Then do the same for the horizontal calculation.

This way you get it pretty much right on, and can place the map anywhere at any scale. The trick is finding the hard points. For US states, its pretty easy to find and identify the extremes on the map. For larger areas, maybe pick small islands, etc. The farther apart they are in each dimension, the better,

if you are not rooted then search for siyah kernel(safest way to start) and flash it via odin

you can find the details in the forum

then flash the custom rom via recovery
