Open the MapSources.xml, and delete "httpppp://b.tile.openstreetmap.org/%z/%x/%y.png" and "httpppp://c.tile.openstreetmap.org/%z/%x/%y.png" from "<TileUrl>". You are good to go! At least it works on my cell phone and computer.

Maps download

Is it possible to download .nmap files with programs other than NaviComputer/Mapper? Maybe there is a conversion utility?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NaviComputer:
Hi,

yes, currently there is a problem with OpenStreetMap map download. The high speed download was causing too much traffic to the osm server.

I will release a fixed version very soon.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Desktop map viewing

Is there a way to view the nmap files on a desktop computer?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] qanda6900:
RUPRO,

Sorry but NO. Nmap files are proprietary to NaviComputer and NaviMapper, and cannot be created by another app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] qanda6900:
RUPRO,

Again, Sorry but NO. You can view the nmap files only on Navimapper, or on the device with NaviComputer.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pdafuzzi:
How to view the nmap-Files with NaviMapper :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] qanda6900:
Well, you are viewing map tiles in NaviMapper as soon as you start the application. When you select an area that you wish to download, the specific tiles are downloaded to a file called nmap.

Once downloaded, you can no longer view the nmap file you created unless you use NaviComputer.

NaviComputer also has the option to use maps through a data connection but does not store them unless you tell NaviComputer to download them to the device itself.

So, even though this post may explain things a bit better, the answer to you original question is still NO, you can't view the nmap file once created except on the device.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] musschrott:
Compared to other free navi solutions I tried this works really well and with a very good user interface. Just a few thoughts, which hopefully haven't been brought up to often in the past:

- NaviComp doesn't keep track of which map was used last, so with 2 maps I'd need to switch every time if I actually preferred another choice as default (or is that because I only modified MapSources.xml in NaviMapper?)

- how about adding access to the context menu also as an additional point into the normal bottom menu, which seems to me a more intuitive way to access it

- I was expecting that the standby option works even without recording a track and quite surprised when I was certain to have the option working one day (recording a track) and not working the next day when I just wanted to know my current position. I guess the thought behind it was to save battery when it's not doing something useful, but as sat fix can take some time I'd rather burn some battery and be able to pull it out of my pocket and have the correct position instantly.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nabusold:
Hi, would you know if in the next edition, there will be a POI info/title/images update? I think that is a major weakness of the software.

I mean please please please include a title for the POI's at least when you click on one! I mean there is no way to know what a POI is on the map, you cant click on it, cant see the info inside, cant do anything with it... think about us that have 900+ places in a GPX.

Can someone please give me a solution? I got all the maps I needed for Navicomputer but I cant locate the POI's I need, I could select the POI and then "show on map" but that is useless when you have a ton of points close to each other, you get lost fast.

Will an upgrade come in April? I am also waiting for this to donate for this revolutionary software
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] qanda6900:

Be surpirsed. NaviComputer does not have weaknesses, only less options. :D

Ummmm. You travel a lot to POIs. ;) and, please think about the Developer who is doling this for free!

Version.93 is in the works but no release date has been determined.

Why wait to donate? Donations are in appreciation for work done, not work 'to be' done.

Thanks for you comments,

QA
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nabusold:
First, thanks for your colorful answer!!

Well POI's are important to me as an archaeologist, I visit 10's of sites every year and I have specific information on each of them. Being able to pick a site right off the map and able to have the description, images and obviously the name of site is something real real important.

"Why wait to donate? Donations are in appreciation for work done, not work 'to be' done."

Well the way the software is now (regarding the "work done") it's useless for me, I would not donate a big sum of money for the v.92 since I will not use the software (Im currently just testing it). That doesn't mean I wouldn't donate for work done already in order to help the software advance to a more 'complete' version but the sum would be much much less...

That being said, I am most thankful the developer, I think the road ahead is full of surprises and enhancements!! After all this software is running amazingly smooth and is displaying maps wonderfully.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moltenfire:
Thanks for this awesome program! I have a couple of questions:

Is there any way to get trackpoints that are less than 5 seconds apart? Say at 1 second intervals?

Also, where is the recorded track data before I click "Finish track" and save the track as a gpx file? I'm paranoid - for example, if I need to reset the device (let's say another app hung or the battery drained too low) before I am able to finish the track and press "save", can I recover the recorded track data?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] qanda6900:
:D, yes, they can be.

Your comments are well taken, and your "need" for certain features is understandable.

Regards,

QA
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NaviComputer:
yes, next time you start recording a track NaviComputer will notice that the previous track was not finished correctly and you will be asked if you want to continue the previous track.

PS: Version 0.93 will be released tomorrow. Possibility to display POI name on the map will be included:)

Could someone with a better english than me read the Yahoo Maps Terms of Use? http://info.yahoo.com/legal/us/yahoo/maps/mapstou/mapstou-278.html

Mostly these parts I think:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pc101:
Yahoo Maps Terms (legalese into english?)

I love your english as you took the time to accurately point out a question that I also share. I cannot speak for Yahoo or anyone else, so my perspective is like yours. I am a Navi enthusiast who wants to know if Yahoo is a permitted offline map source by their own terms. My interpretation is based on my own good English and my interest in gaining clarification on these issues. My assuptions and interpretation are my own, so I alone should be accountable for them. I am not a legal professional, just a technologist. We need to ask Yahoo.

At http://info.yahoo.com/legal/us/yahoo/maps/mapstou/mapstou-278.html "Personal Use Only" summarizes the point of the first section you quoted. For our purpose, that allows an individual to copy and save a map and/or accompanying data on one's handheld for one's own use; then also allows, but limits one transferring a map and/or data to another person. The limitations there are html form only, copyright statement required and no prior remodeling of the map or data.

"Restrictions" after telling us what an individual can do, tells us what is forbidden; introduced by the assurance that these restrictions do not reduce the rights and limitations granted earlier. So without limiting what one does after copying the data to a handheld for personal individual use; restriction is placed on other uses of the data, specificaly "real time route guidance" (presumably without first copying the data for to the one's handheld for unrestricted, personal offline use). "Vehicle tracking...applications" are presented as a separate type of use and also forbidden. Those uses extend away from the personal into the remote and are most likely commercially related.

Finally, the "devices or systems which include resident geographic data ...position determination." restriction is puzzling. It is presented again as "Without limiting the foregoing" so nothing granted above should be reduced by it. A clue is given with "and/or which enable a continuous or intermittent (i.e., more frequently than once per minute) position determination." This suggests to me that Yahoo as an internet content provider does not wish to support or encourage connections to the data (as opposed to what was copied offline) that are continually or periodically refreshed from the receiving device for geolocation. This seems to be bandwidth related, and like much of the terms, liability related. Just my 2¢.

Hey folks,

this program looks good :). I would like to know, if it corrects implausible GPS coordinates. When I'm running with my old program (GPS cycle computer) I have the programm that e.g. bridges generate extreme values with the consequence that absolute implausible speeds are logged. In the following my track lenth is unusable and average speed is totally wrecked. Does this problem exist with NaviComputer as well or is there a correction?

Thx :)

It seems like there is no restriction regarding storing their maps in this terms.

But I looked into the yahoo maps api terms of use (http://info.yahoo.com/legal/us/yahoo/maps/mapsapi/mapsapi-2141.html) and found this:

We do not really use the API but still I don't think they will allow what we do...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tacchan23:
Well, most likely they won't allow it... of find a way out if asked...

but I really wonder how can they allow to

(iii) transfer a copy to a personal electronic device

but at the same time not allow to

(viii) store or allow end users to store map imagery, map data or geocoded location information from the Yahoo! Maps

?

how could I do the first thing without also doing the second?°_°

or maybe I misunderstood something

And I wonder... would they even answer if asked? or simply ignore it untill they see something they don't like being done?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pc101:
Individually saving maps that were personally viewed and/or downloaded, but not engaged in real time gps tracking seems acceptable to them; with unresrticted offline use.

The viewing and downloading they allow may be limited to what you can achieve via addressing a web browser to their site from your PC or handheld. I followed the link NaviComputer included and must agree that using NaviMapper to mediate acquiring a map set from their servers might taken to conflict with their stated API terms. This API limitation may be why their tile server URL syntax appears proprietary. I intend to call them and ask, though. There's no harm in politely asking.

Sorry for bothering you, but can anyone tell me, if NaviComputer corrects implausible GPS coordinates? I'm speaking of wrong values caused by e.g. bridges or street canyons. Those wreck my track distance, when I record my running route. I'haven't found an adequate program, yet :(.

Thx :)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] z386:
Thanks for a great program!

I have a problem that I am unable to solve.

I have found a online map source that I really would like to use that has the y-coordinate reversed. 0,0 refers to the south-west corner of the world and not the north-west.

Example

h t t p://a.tile.openstreetmap.org/4/1/3.png

shows the same tile as

h t t p://server/4/1/12.png

Is it possible to have a placeholder for inverted y cordinates, for example %v

so that in my example I could use:

h t t p://server/%z/%x/%v.png

Formula for %v would be:

v = 2^z - 1 - y

This would make the program perfect for me (and others I hope).

Thank you!

Don't know if it's off interest, but the Ordanance survey have released a new licence system for a lot of their data.

http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/opendata/

you can download the entire of the UK at "streetview" level, which is quite a lot more comprehensive than openstreetmap.

if it's usable it would be great to see this as an option.

I confess I haven't dug too deeply into the licence yet, but they do have an api for web access available.

At what level does the zoom stop?

RE: View downloaded maps

I will answer my own question seeing as how the response to my original question appears to be NO.

What I have done is

1. Choose the area to download

2. Save it as ... Toulouse13 (zoom level 13)

3. Then, while downloading, take a screenshot of this area and save it with the same name.

now I have a map (w.scale) and image of the area the map represents.

btw. I figure zoom13 is good resolution (openstreetmap) for just passing thru, whereas zoom17 will give you all the street names (for yr destination).

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] qanda6900:
Not a bad idea for viewing, but not good for using. ;)

I normally download to level 15 which I find adequate. It depends on how congested the area is that I wish to view. In country areas of lesser roads and byways, I can get away with 13 or 14, but in heavily "pathed" areas, I sometimes take it down to 16 or 17.

That is the great thing about NaviComputer. You can have it your way!

Thanks for sharing your idea on capturing the map, and for using NaviComputer.

Regards

QA
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] qanda6900:
Depending on the zoom level, it will take up a great deal of space on the average of 5-6Gb.

I suggest that you download the "world map" if you must into smaller nmap files.

Keep them on your pc and transfer them to the device as needed.

As far as using a pic of a map with NaviComputer, I am not entirely sure. NaviComputer was designed to use its' nmap files. Maybe the Developer can jump in here with advice.

Navimapper bugs & map converter

Hi

1. a bug

I managed to pu Gooogle maps in Map sources XML and set MaxZoom to 19

<MinZoom>0</MinZoom>

<MaxZoom>19</MaxZoom>

but Navimapper shows the slider bar up to only 18.

Is this a bug ? or am I missing something?

2.sqlite map converter.

I used mobile atlas creator 1.7.0 and created some maps for Bigplanet sqlite

like "Hong Kong.sqlitedb"

Can I convert it to .nmap file?

3.use another map settings

I also used gMapMapker(MgMaps) and created .mgm files can I also convert this to .nmap file?

I'm not sure it's open format. but I hope to use it's configuration file. since it supports polygon area. (download from
