Guys, I need map!
After googling for Maemo mapper format I found only this very useful link at internettablettalk with the list of supported servers. But unfortunately it's not that simple for us, Ukrainians. Google Maps does not have streets map even of our capital, Kiev. Russian yandex's map service is still the best, but its format is not that simple as google's:
Yandex Maps:
http://maps.yandex.ua/map.xml?mapID=1600&mapX=%d&mapY=%d&scale=%d
http://maps.yandex.ua/map.xml?mapID=1600&mapX=3397917&mapY=6491641&scale=4&slices=1
mapsID - city's id(from the set of cities)
mapX/Y - special coordinates in wild format:
Map is a 2^31 2-D array, coordinates are central point + shift * 2^(zoom level+8)
Google Maps:
http://mt.google.com/mt?x=%d&y=%d&zoom=%d
http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=50.352471,30.256348&spn=4.052146,12.44751&z=7
Very simple: long, lat and zoom :)
That's why is not that simple with Maemo mapper.
May be in a few days I'll test and polish what I got now and create special .deb package for Yandex-only mapper, because there are some changes now which break all other map repositories.
Below is a screenshot(click to see 800x480) of what's working at the moment. To be continued!
