Now i have looked at the overlap problem.

I have one question. Is the atlas correctly calibrated? In other words do you get a view of the correct position in Trekbuddy, when you load the atlas?

If the above is true, then everything is as it is supposed to be. The thing is that the atlas creator will never give you an atlas with a smaller area than what the exact cordinates say. The opposit may be true, especially in the larger zoom levels, 8,9 or 10. This is because google have split up the world in tiles which are 256 * 256 pixels big, and the atlas creator always download complete tiles, and then there will be a possibility to get some "bonus" areas in atlas, especially in the bigger zoomlevels. This behaviour is with purpose, and i do not think i will change it, since it is not a real problem rather a the opposit. And i do not know a good way to change it either.

It seems it's ok now, I reinstalled jre and atlas creator, and now I have right maps...don't ask me what the hell has happened!
I had maps of Venice (I live in Milan) and a little part of my desired map, before..but now it's ok, i have my area (plus extra maps but it has always been normal)! Thank you, awaiting for 512x512
...and thanks for your work!

Hello,

I used Atlas Creator 0.5 super tool to generate a atlas which covers may way to Italy. The result was a nice big map which generated at level 4 more than 17135 tiles. Now I have problem that a flash file system is only able to handle 16383 files in a directory . Ok I generated out of the untar atlas an tared version but now TB stops while loading with ERROR map to large : Error
[3] null:
cz.kruch.track.map
s.InvalidMapExecption: Map too large

Hm what I can do now? Is there any know limit to TB 0.9.57?

Best Regards,

Rainer

Hi,

I tried it under Linux but the application exits after showing "unable to create settings.ini" Any chance to look at the source?

Thank you

[Moller]

Hm, it is probably a problem with the path separators. there is of course a possibility to crate the ini-file manually, but i think that is waste of time at the moment since there are more windows specific issues in the aplication at the moment, on of them is that 7-zip.exe must be present on the computer and i assume that the linuxverison of 7-zip is not called .exe?

My best suggestion is to wait for the next release that will skip 7-zip and have an own tar functionality created in pure java code.

I have no eta of this release, but it will come sometime in the future.

Hello,
I would like to ask you, if it is possible to get the java source code (as it is for example by GoogleHack2) for this app. I would like to add some features like connection via proxy (for those who are behind a firewall and need the connection via proxy, incl. me personaly ), possibility to create layers and map sheets for the big atlases acording user specs etc.

I respect, it is your work, but if you are a bit "open-minded", you could probably let the others develope this nice and useful app

At the moment i do not think i will have my code open sourced. Perhaps some time in the future. I have had a very limited time to develop this application further the last month but i hope this will change soon, and there will be a new release of this program rather soon.

Btw is there no possibility to use a external progam as a proxy?

Oki, I respect that And also I hope you'll get more time to spent on this app
Regarding my situation... most of my time with computer I spent at work, but like in every company we have intranet strictly protected by firewall and there is no posibility to get to internet directly, we have to use our proxy server... But this is very simple to implement... Just to let use two additional params: proxy server and proxy server port...

...
Proxy proxy = new Proxy(Proxy.Type.HTTP, new InetSocketAddress(args[8], Integer.parseInt(args[9])));
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection)u.openConnection(proxy) ;
...

Thanx

Luke

Hm, that was not much code for the proxy functionality. I will put a proxy functionality in the to-do list.

Excellent work, thanks for spending so much time on this. Helped a TrekBuddy noob like me get up and running from scratch within a couple of hours

Hi, I am using Trekbuddy and Trekbuddy Atlas Generator. I think they are the best gsp tools for j2me. I think trek buddy has a lot potential.

I created an atlas for Istanbul / Turkey. But at some levels of zoom, trekbuddy return "Map too large" error. I have to split these maps into several maps. Is there any tool available for that?

Thank You
