Map Updates 19.10.2009

Ci spiace, ma questo articolo è disponibile soltanto in English e Deutsch.

Mainly bugfixes. All countries now include search index, and for all but Germany installed by default. Germany did crash on trying to start it with search register, so you have to use the new unregister_or_register_address_search.bat if you want to give it a try. Uninstall.bat is included again. If you don't have the address search yet registered from older maps (16.10) you have to run the "new" batch or run "install*.bat" again. Next map update Tuesday 27 / Wednesday 28.09 because I'm in London for the Metro Snow this week. If sending maps to GPS with Mapsource fails run unregister*.bat it is likely to happen.

Edit: Nearly forgot, now Contourlines for Norway are online. Took my PC over 30 hours to calculate (needing up to 6.3 GB of RAM - luckily I now got 8). Quality is really great because nearly all tiles are based on viewfinderpanoramas.org.

Map Updates 16.10.2009

Ci spiace, ma questo articolo è disponibile soltanto in English e Deutsch.

Bug Correction: Cycleways are back (werde dropped in some cases)

New Feature: Search index now installed by default - this means searching Adresses is enabled. Germany and Alps will probabely not work however - mkgmap is not yet able to write such a huge index. Search index cannot yet work if you join several maps (create_mapsource_installationfiles.bat)! (might cause crash when clicking on "find place" in Mapsource. Dunno what happens on GPS (assume you will crash it too). You have to run install*.bat again after downloading the updates! Also Search index cannot work if you use create_gmapsupp.img.bat

Routing Improvement: Annoyed about needing to slow down for traffic lights? Then this update is for you. Routes near to Traffic lights will be avoided if possible! Some more improvements taken. Now inside of big cities primary, secondary and tertiary highways are avoided at all cost (I got some pretty good rules about knowing whether or not a highway is in a big city, will only work for well mapped cities like big cities in Germany/Austria/Netherlands). On the countryside however theese roads are slightly upgraded.

From 5 routes over 10km that I used to ride my bicycle to work/school/university 4 now route as good or better than the ways I chose when using them!
