  • Limits of PathAway map...

    You mean on the Desktop ?


    I am using PathAway for Palm... ;-)


    I was wondering if there was some kind of "batch processing" which would allow exporting all those G.E tiles as so many maps for PathAway... ;-)

  • Limits of PathAway map...

    Hello,


    I am trying to export a quite nice map of Georgia wjich I succeeded in making from a successful import of Google Earth...


    Now that VERY nice map, and quite big one, is probably too big for PathAway...


    So what are the limits of this one ?
    Alternatively, is there a way to break up that big one in as many small one and let PathAway do the equivalent of a qtl map ? I guess that the fact that that big map from G.E is actually a qtl map means that I should be able to do just that, but I wonder...


    Thanks...

  • TTQV & Google Earth...

    Hello again...


    Well...


    Without changing anything after getting one or two more errors, it worked this time... I don't understand why but this time it worked ! I guess that G.E must be temperamental... ;-)

  • TTQV & Google Earth...

    Just finished installing Google Earth 3.0 and nothing changed...


    Same as above...


    StitchMaps is interesting but does not fulfill the same service for me... I would like the system from TTQV to work and it clearly is not working for whatever cause I cannot comprehend. Maybe the problem is with Google Earth, maybe it is in TTQV, maybe it is in my set-up...


    Well, right now, it does not work ! :(

  • TTQV & Google Earth...

    I am using TTQV without any modifications that I am aware of... ;-)


    As for GE, I'll give the version 3 a try it is still downloadable...


    Thanks for the tip ! I was REALLY wondering what was wrong with me ! :lol:

  • TTQV & Google Earth...

    Hello,


    Now, I have a problem...


    I don't seem to be able to import data from Google Earth any more... :cry:


    Whenever I try importing a map from Google Earth of La Reunion Island, I do like this :
    - I open Google Earth (Version Plus),
    - Place myself in a position where I can see the whole island (Around 21°08' S, 55°31' E, Alt 90km)
    - Open TTQV,
    - Create a new table map,
    - Click on "import map from Google Earth",
    - Select "multi - automatic - 12000m - 1000X1000",
    - Click on import...
    Then I get a message of "Capture 1 Row, 1 Col" (Sounds strange ! There should be more than that !),
    - Click OK,
    - The display switches to Google Earth,
    - I get a chime,
    - Go back to TTQV to see a lot of error messages,
    - "File Not Found" (Hey seems normal, I want to create that file !)
    - If I click Ok, then I get a "QV_error 11" ge_capture division by zero,
    - If I click "Ok" then the process freezes...
    - If I press "Cancel" on the box where it says "Row 1 Col 1 Saving Image...", I then see an "Ok" button...


    If I do it again, I will get the same sequence again...
    I am using TTQV in the latest version and Google Earth Plus in OpenGL format (My "computer" does not support Direct X being emulated in a Mac machine...)
    I managed it once with the pictures of Georgia which are in my first intervention in this thread, but I don't understand what I am doing wrong...


    I just tried it again and got a "Cpature 7 row and 7 Col" messages (Which sounds better...) only to get again a file not found error message and the same sequence again...


    Obviously I must be doing something wrong...
    But what ?

    Quote from "macnetz"

    Hello Gurvan,


    If you mean the copyright messages . . .
    You only have to set the font size to zero (in the registry)


    Regards - Anton


    Now, it will get complicated for me ! :lol: :crazy:


    Did you already explain that one somewhere ? I'll check it out even if it is in German... ;-) At least, I'll try...


    Thanks...

  • TTQV & Google Earth...

    Ok... Thank you...


    Anyway, it is still good enough for me ! ;-)


    For the QTL file, thanks for the tip, I will try it ! Does it matter if the result is not square ? Or rectangular ?


    Would it be possible to edit this one in graphic format in a future release ? :oops:

  • TTQV & Google Earth...

    Hello,


    I did try to make an import of a Map from Google Earth.


    It worked... Not easily, but I managed it after a while (When I was trying to import I had more than 500 tiles, and got error messages...).


    Now, I found out that there are some placement errors, is that known already ? I was still in 4.0.72 at the time I tried...


    Here are a few pictures showing the problem...

    General view...

    A close up showing some placement error (Left & Top right on that picture... One can see that the road and the track are NOT fully superposed...)
    I realized that by making a map of a complete country, more or less, I am probably inviting trouble, but... ;-)


    Two additional questions, is it possible to remove the "Google Watermark" ? (I guess no for copyright problems...)
    Is it possible to edit the QTL file which is created in such a case so as to suppress unuseful tiles ? That would be useful...


    Thank you !
    ;-)
    Great job... I am using it to prepare my maps on a Mac with the Parallels Software...

  • IGN Bayo 3

    I was more hopping for IGN to give those maps for free... :lol:


    After all, I have already paid them with my taxes ! :(


    I will, as soon as I am back in France, try to check with a dealer if those are compatible. The main importer must be less than 5km away from my home !


    But that would be a good solution, thanks !

  • IGN Bayo 3

    So, if I understand you correctly, if they are written 3 anywhere on them, I should run away ?


    I'll check that other link you gave me... Thanks !

  • Making a "Big Map"...

    Well, I have been looking into it but Global Mapper seems to be too much to understand for me right now... :-?


    Bit too complicated for my taste... Now, I am sure that this might be the best technical solution to my needs but I must say that it is way beyond my abilities right now... :oops:


    I did not succeed in making those 4 maps into a big one using Global Mapper.


    I will go back to a low tech solution like using some graphic software to make a big file out of those and recalibrate the results in TTQV...

  • One question regarding ordering...

    Thanks for your info...


    The point I don't understand then is why those two versions are at the same price on the French webshop... Does not make sense to me...


    I saw the differences between regular and Power User but I cannot justify them right now to my "Minister of Finance" ! :D So I'll settle for the regular version but thank nonetheless for the help you were able to provide me with...


    "The check will be in the mail" ! :D


    (Ok the Credit Card Translation, but that is the same idea...)
