MapThis! 0.4.60 Beta Released

greg | January 11, 2007

Never get lost again with Deniska’s Map This! — the fully functional map viewer and GPS software for the PSP. With a little know-how you’ll soon be on your way to the nearest strip club.

Map This! 0.4.60 Screenshot

0.4.60 Beta changes:

  • address lookup for US addresses (via TIGER line data)
  • reverse lookup (shows the closest known house numbers or intersections)
  • new logo, startup screen, wallpaper (contributed by DaxDce)
  • re-designed interface: new fonts, menus, some layout changes, more skinable data panels, battery & signal icons, etc..
  • some bug fixes: clock desplay, POI layout problem, etc.
  • bundled with small NYC map and corresponding geodata file. (~1Mb)

Creation of US geodata file:
I provided a set of scripts & programs (all with sources) to get the Tiger Line data from US Census Bureau. They have been tested under cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com)…
Perhaps someone (in7ane?) could convert that code in to some kind of GUI program.

To generate the geodata file for a state do following:

  1. copy geocoder folder to your cygwin home directory
  2. navigate to that folder (using cd command) under cygwin prompt.
  3. run following command:
    ./geo-map.sh [2-letter state abbreviation in capitals]
    Example: ./geo-map.sh NY
  4. wait for a few hours while it creates geodata.dat file
  5. copy geodata.dat file to your map’s folder.

Great news for US residents… I hope something similar is available for Canada. :)

I’ve got a male friend whose name is Stacy. dont be quick to assume. Either way its a pretty funny turn of phrase, especially coming from a chick.

And the sentiment’s correct. Fuck everything being US only, what about the rest of the world. I want an Australian one dammit.

sigh…
complain complain complain…
who gives a damn?
what’s so different? if you don’t like it then dont get it. if you can do something about it then do it.
idiots…. maybe the person who made it is from us. AND just MAYBE it was CONVINIENT for HIM to make the map for US. WHY should HE make a MAP for complainers such as you people. Ask him nicely maybe he’ll make you one

 
Comment by Batman
2007-01-13 01:16:47

You have to make the maps yourself. The only map it comes with is New york.. So its not even US anyway its probably just where the creator lives.

Comment by BrendanL
2007-01-11 18:52:55

Maybe there’s only a US map because it was made in America. -_- And you shouldn’t talk about Canadians when your president is so DAMN stupid! He’s sending more soldiers to Iraq. And he’s on drugs! If you’ve seen that episode of Jon Stewart, you see a clip where George says, “my opinions told me…” His opinions told HIM!? WTH? He’s HIGH. Your opinions don’t talk to you.

shit spoke to soon, it downloads a load of zip files then gets an error. I will keep working on it.

Mine keeps crapping out after the zips are all downloaded too. I’ll look at his bash script once later when I have some time.

Comment by greg
2007-01-11 21:16:16

yea that is when it craps out is after the zip files are downloaded. I tried it both with win, and linux and get the same error each time. Anyone have a fix for this one?

Comment by Rat
2007-01-12 09:45:02

The bug is in compr.c, not the shell script. On Mac OS X it barfs if there are too many zip code files to process. On Linux it goes into an infinite loop.

You need cygwin… cd is change directory which is a command you need to run within the cygwin shell.

cd c:/cygwin/geocoder (my directory yours might be different)

geo-map.sh WV (my state yours might be different)

press enter and wait, I have been having problems though it downloads all the zip files then I get an error msg.

I hope this helps some of the noobs out there.

For some having problems with cygwin ending in an error this might fix it I am trying it out now to see if it works or not I will post a reply here in a sec to let everyone know if it works or not

there is a bug in geo-map.sh

Edit the file. Change line 16 from:
find ./temp -name ‘*36065.ZIP’| { while read zip; do

to

find ./temp -name ‘*.ZIP’| { while read zip; do
