New version (0.9.3) uploaded. Minor cache fixed, force-close issue *hopefully* fixed, some general tidying up in the source. If it force-closes for you, try clearing the application data. Alternatively, enter the settings page, choose a different map type, and it should work. You can change the map type again after that. Hopefully resolved now I've remembered to close the database... ;-)

For those who can't find it, it's available to download here. You'll have to check for updates manually, I'm afraid, and if you keep an eye on the Market it should turn up eventually.

http://maps.androidgamer.org/wallpaper/release/Advanced_Map_201006141741.apk

I'd really appreciate it if you could leave a positive comment and rating if you downloaded the wallpaper from the Market and like it as a Live Wallpaper!

Update: - link fixed
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] TREYisRAD:
Are you going to add panning? Like when you swipe to a different homescreen it moves a little bit.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Abomb:
Great Live Wallpaper!

One request though, could you move the cached data to the sd card?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] hamagc:
does not appear to be working on touch pro xdandroid 2.1 :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] David Horn:
hamagc - what seems to be the problem?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] hamagc:
i am assuming it is a resolution thing but i dunno.

downloaded apk you have posted. installed and verified it installed but it is not showing in my menu. when i goto change wallpapers it does not show advanced maps at all.

i'm thinking since this was made for a nexus one on android it's not going to work on xdandroid. but i really like the idea! any suggestions?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] David Horn:
That is kind of weird. There are no specific requirements in the app at all - it needs Live Wallpaper support (that's hard-coded in so it doesn't show up on devices that don't support it), and SDK level 7 or above (that's 2.1 to you and me.)

Are you able to see it in the Market or in the installed applications list?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] hamagc:
it could be a problem with live wallpaper then. i think we're still struggling with that one.

installed apps: yes

market: no
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Army_Spec_Ops:
there is already a feature like this for android... if you download the google maps app from market and go to the live wallpaper settings its on the list of wallpapers that you can choose. it also is able to close the live wallpaper when the level of available RAM gets to low...

(im not tryin to rail on you David, just sayin it was already available. :D)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] David Horn:
Yeah, main intention of this was to provide Ordnance Survey maps in the UK, since they're insanely detailed. Google Maps etc is just a bonus. ;-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mjones73:
Check the options available on this one vs the LWP included with Maps, this offers a lot more flexibility and appears to be more battery friendly...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mjones73:
I have it install on a Droid running CM 5.0.8test4 and when I go into landscape mode, the map turns but does not fill the whole screen, the part of the map showing is still the same width as it is in portrait mode with white space to the right to fill the gap. Otherwise it is a nice LWP.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] amtank:
Working now on EVO after update, great job! This is amazing.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] David Horn:
Update (16/06/10):

New version (0.9.4) uploaded. Key fixes include landscape support and the really irritating bug where it would forget to load map tiles should now be gone. Turns out that 1+4 = 5, not 6...

Get it here (if you can find it on the Market, I strongly recommend downloading it from there instead):

Just got it, looks great in landscape now too, thanks for the update.

Force Close Issue

Version .94

Running EVO 2.1 stock.

Even using the standard Google map I still get a force close issue on restart. The map did not change locations. I saw the refresh postion option and clicked it. It said restart required and I get the force close when it restarts. It looks great other than that. Let me know if you need any additional information.

It shows up in the Market for me.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] David Horn:
Hi coreygator - try clearing the application data in Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Advanced Map.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] t0ol:
realy great thing, using it now. but for me it only works with GPS on, and the biggest issue is that it forgets the location after reboot and starts to search for sattelites (that takes long for me).. can u plz include the option to save the last location OnDestroy and load it OnCreate? ty
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] David Horn:
Hi t0ol,

Does it display the message "Network location not available" when it starts? It uses network location primarily due to the battery life penalty of GPS.

In terms of handling location management, the app doesn't really go into the nitty-gritty. Instead, it asks Android for the last known location (both network and GPS), and picks the newest one to centre the map. At that point, if the network location data is updated, it'll follow it around.

It seems a bit weird that it only uses GPS - can you check for me (in system settings) -> Location and Security -> Use Wireless Networks and make sure that option is turned on?

GPS is really only there for people who want a really accurate position fix. In the UK, network location is accurate (in major cities) to a few hundred feet so is a good alternative.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] David Horn:
And this is a small plea to anyone who downloaded the app from the Market - please can you take the time to leave a rating, and if able, a comment? Yesterday it had a 4.5 star rating and it's dropped to only 4 stars.

Many thanks!

Dave.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] t0ol:
Yes it says that location is not available for anything other than GPS. Probably cause I live in russia ) not only your app.. it's system wide for me. But the stock live maps wallpaper does set the last location
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] t0ol:
nwm.. did a full wipe and all works fine now =) gave 5 stars
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] th0r615:
Love it so far! If I could have found it in the market I would have given it 5 stars. There are a few things I would like to see:

- The ability to tell it how often to refresh. (30min, 1 hour, 2 hour, ect)

- When scrolling between home screens it would be nice if the maps moved. (like regular Maps live wallpaper)

- Ability to tell it to change map types at a given interval of time. (30min, 1 hour, 2 hour, ect)

- If possible more maps!!

If these features are added I'd be willing to donate!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tramane:
Downloaded, Rated, and Commented.

5 stars!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] coreygator:
I'm not sure if I know how to do that. After clicking on the application as you describe I see 'Uninstall', 'clear cache', 'clear defaults' and 'force stop'. All except uninstall are greyed out. Pressing the menu button doesnt bring up any other options. I have cache size set as 8mb but in the screen you point to it shows as 0.00B and clear cache is greyed out.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] David Horn:
Update (5/07/10):

Version 0.9.5 uploaded to Market. Only major change is the addition of the Hike and Bike map as requested by a user. It should show up as an update on Froyo.

Also discovered the reason why it's not showing in the Market for Droid users - turns out that they don't respect the "Live Wallpaper" filter and won't show apps with that enabled in the Manifest.

Out of curiosity, is anyone still encountering problems with either the wallpaper itself, or finding it in the Market?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] electricdemon:
Still not showing up for me on the market, with my N1 2.1 (cyanogenmod 5.0.8)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] aussiebum:
... Same here, not showing up in Market. This is with a Milestone on stock 2.1 rooted. It's a bit weird since I seem to be able to see most Live Wallpapers except for the odd few (like yours... and Anifree's for example).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] David Horn:
Would you mind trying to find it now? I've removed a couple of the entries in the Manifest file which are technically supposed to be there but could be blocking it on some phones.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] David Horn:
Google Maps with traffic overlay added.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] wallla:
Thanks a lot for solving this issue.

Now I'm finding it in the Market with my Milestone.

Again: Great Wallpaper!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] aussiebum:
Yep it's showing now, and installed :) Just one suggestion: maybe changed the default selected map to be Google Maps and not the Ordnance one? I was scratching my head trying to figure out why the wallpaper wasn't working, then realised it was set to the Ordnance one that only works in UK :p

Oh yeah, one question - how often does the wallpaper refresh itself? Doesn't really say anywhere in the settings page...

Gave it 5 stars
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] David Horn:
Update (4/08/10):

Version 1.0 uploaded to the Market. Major changes include the addition of Google Traffic and smooth scrolling between home-screens. (I hope you appreciate that, it took AGES to implement...) ;-)

There's an issue with force-closing on some phones which I haven't been able to resolve - no one has replied to my request to run Log Collector, and without a log I can't fix the problem. The Android Market is supposed to show crash reports, but doesn't.

Donations:

I've never been keen on asking for money, but there is a "donate" version to the Market. It's identical to the current release (which will always remain free) but it would be great to get a bit of reward for the hard work that goes into writing a Live Wallpaper.

It's only £1 and donations provide an excellent motivation for bug fixes and new feature requests. If you have the normal version, you'll find a donate link in the settings page.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] drweside:
I've got an N1 running CM 6.0 and I keep getting the FCs whenever I try to configure it as the live wallpaper. If you want, I can help you out with the Log Collector.

Let me know.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] drumtrucker:
While there is a default zoom setting, I don't see a way to change zoom on the fly. The google live map let's us zoom in and out with double tap w/one finger and single tap with 2 fingers. However, on my rooted Droid, google live map is no longer tracking

I am trying yours again to see if it tracks. I tried awhile back and returned to google version because of you lack of zooming on fly.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] drumtrucker:
Force close everytime I reboot

Getting FC everytime I boot phone, aggravating. It works after that.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] hubert_joost:
Would it be possible to add an Antique map?

Dear developer,

I came across these historical maps form David Rumsey. They are available on Google Maps as an overlay showing beautiful antique maps. For example this one from Europe 1787: rumsey.geogarage.com/maps/g0411006.html

Do you think it would be possible (and legal) to add this map to Advanced Map? Having such a historical map as a live wallpaper would be stunning and a true asset to this already great app.

Cheers,

hubert_joost
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] drumtrucker:
not sure he is supporting this anymore, but I hope he responds. Those would be cool.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] hubert_joost:
I noticed that David Horn has been working on another Live Wallpaper called Album Art. This project has suffered from losing much of his work, he says in his thread on Live Wallpaper Album Art:

David: did you also lose your work on Advanced Map? Have you abandoned the project Advanced Map altogether?

I am a complete noob to android, let alone app development. I wish I could be of any help. I would still love to see those Rumsey maps as a Live Wallpaper.

Does anyone know if this would actually be feasible? Would it be possible to use a Google Maps overlay?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ltlgod:

get a registry editor (ceregistry editor on the PC is great)

browse to

HKLM\software\htc\manila\home. You will see a list of numbered folders, one for each quicklink. They start at 0, so quicklink 1 is in 0, 2 is in 1, etc etc.

Find teh one you are looking for, and change 'IsReadOnly' from 1 to 0.

Soft reset and they are unlocked and can be removed.

Please any one who can help will be greatly appreciated

I know this is like not helpful at this point, but I would recommend when u get this taken care of that you make a complete backup of you SD card with the nandroid backups and original restoration on a computer in case.this ever happens again.

I bet there's a stock image out there somewhere.

I just tried another card and it works then I tried the evo SD card im my blackberry and it doesn't work there either, so my conclusion is that the evo card is corrupted I can't even format it.

By the way once you root your phone I can't update unless it was the SD card problem not sure.

Just use ROM Manager ;) It will install recovery without adb or a computer. Just do it through an Android app.

But if you want to use AmonRA, you can follow any of the above links. You'll need the Android adb tool and drivers I believe (if you are running on Windows or Linux). On Mac, all you need is adb.

So basically... I have a unrooted, unhacked etc. Desire.. I want to test some of the new 2.2 roms..

Can I, without my phone being rooted, use "rom manager" from the market and flash a custom recovery, from where I can flash roms, radios etc.? :) Or do I have to something before I can utilize the power of "rom manager"?.... What about the new "fake-flash" released a couple of days ago?

Excuse me, but i'm coming from an HTC Hero where the only thing you did, was using flashrec...

I'm a little confused with all the guides around here.. Some say you have to use a PC/mac (I have a mac) to "root" the desire... Others say that there is a simpler way... I'm looking for the safest and simplest :) ... I like when procedures are convenient :D
[Desire General] M4cr0s:
To root it you'll need a pc/mac running linux, windows or whatever macs run. Afterwards there are workarounds that makes flashing ROMs relatively simple, without having to initiate recovery form a computer first. So step one: follow the root guide in the stickied thread.
