1) save tiles for offline use (satellite/map/hybrid/terrain)
2) export selected area to TB atlas in PNG, JPEG
3) export tared Atlas with .tmi file
4) export selected area to ozi format (maximum 15000x15000 pix on my configuration) in bmp, gif, jpeg
5) load tracks from GPX,PLT,KML
6) create & save track in PLT, GPX(waypoints)
7) save waypoints in waypoints.txt (pointname<tab>Lat<tab>Lng)
8) distance calculation



beginner's guide to googleak by start78 on german.

[rudison]

Hello olegich,

this seems to be an interesting program.

Unfortunately I can not start it, the following error messages appear (tested with Windows XP german):
- Automation Error
- Object variable or With block variable not set
- :( Overflow, Source=JPG_PNG
- Run-time error '6': Overflow

Are there special requirements to be able to run the program?

The regsvr32 fixes the first two error messages, but the next two messages
reporting the "Overflow" persist and the program exits.

[olegich]

Just remove conf.cfg (i forgot to remove it from googleak distr before upload) and it will be created with right values

PS
The problem is in decimal separator in my config file and in your language settings ))

Your tool is really nice as it allows to create an atlas with map and satellite views. But I need tared maps. If you could include creating tar's it would be really great! I can do it by hand using tugzip, but it is a lot of work. (Moller's tool uses 7zip for creating tar's)

I really like that program, but it is still unusable for me, i can't move map (in US for example) that a black screen appears, the same thing happens when right-click and select Scale XX
Anyway, it's a good promising program

It sounds like an interesting application.
Could you please describe how it works...honestly I haven't understood from previous description.
Thanks

I've been coding it when internet connection didn't allow me to use GoogleEarth or maps via browser. The program doesn't cache the tiles automatically, but saves links (and maybe a traffic).
There are 2 ways:
1st - press


2nd - for example, you have a map with a scale x5 and want to save an area with x11

1)select the scale
2)press it
3)select the area and you will see the number of tiles(files) to download
4)press "download" button.

Creating TB atlas or Ozi map (change with ozi/tb checkbox):
1) see above
2) see above
3) see above
4) press export to tb button and program will ask to download the missing tiles, otherwise create w black squares.

Other:
"map layer" checkbox - switch over a satellite/map view


rewrite box- ignore cached tiles (e.g. to update surface )
use proxy - the program get proxy settings from a windows registry(IE settings) or you can specify it here (server:port)

I cannot load maps created with olegich's tool in my SXG75. The error message is:
[6] null: cz.kruch.track.maps.InvalidMapException: Invalid point: java.lang.NumberFormatException: Not a digit: N
I upload a small example map.. With TbMapper it is displayed fine.

Yes, if I edit the mapka.map file and replace some wrong "," decimal separators by ".", I can load the map.
Another suggestion: Google Maps has a checkbox "display labels" below the button for the satellite view. This would be nice too..

1) Added: packed atlas in tar
2) fixed: if your system uses "," as decimal separator, you could have the problems with loading/saving not integer values (in map calibration files, tracks & etc, which use ".")
