Download map of a country at maximum zoom into a single image #169

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
To be more specific, I want to have the map of my country to the maximum zoom 
possible on a single image (e.g .png). The download option download the map 
into tiles...^^. Also the export option can only download the map at smaller 
zoom capacity..
I saw about the same issue on Milestone-Release0.75, but right now I'm using 
Gmapcatcher v0.7.00, and this option is not possible.

Yes you are correct, issue 99 will add a functionality to export a section of 
the map as a PNG image. 

 Keep in mind that a single image at the maximum zoom could be VERY large and most image viewers are not designed to handle such a huge images, if you want I could send you a sample image, just let me know your email and I send it...

I made a couple of PNG files (Zoom 5 & 6) in that way you have an idea how big 
the files are going to be, the files are here:

This is a Zoom 6, Dimensions 2048 x 2048, Size 8.05 MB

And this one is at Zoom 5, Dimensions 4096 x 4096, Size 25.5 MB

Thank you for replying this quickly;
1. I viewed your pics, I need to clarify that I need them in "google map" 
format, nor "google earth"; I need it with the streets and buildings only, not 
with clounds or relief.
2. The size is no problem, it could be above 300 MB too, I wouldn't mind. 
Though I wanted it in maximum zoom capacity, in other words "-2".
3. I just need the map of my country i.e. Mauritius; Instead of doing 
mind-boggling number of print-screen and combining them together, this software 
could facilitate the task so....

Yo housejavi^^, Seems U hit into the same wall I did 2 months ago. so here's 
the deal:
1. Download the map at the specified zoom level you want with GMapCatcher
2. Then use "SnagIT" software to take accurate snapshots
3. Finally use the Adobe Photoshop to merge them all

Note: Use transparency option on adobe to get precise results.

Sorry, but, what is "SnagIT"?
I try with photoshop and not do it.
(Maybe my english is no correct, but i expect you undestand me, i´m spanish 
...)

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Yeah Ur uinglish is not correct LOL >_<
SnagIT is a software that allows for accurate snapshot (more that printscreen)
Try to read on it in google search.

But 1st lets try this enhancement byheldersepu.

P.s: SnagIT is a last recourse means pal, it will do the work but it takes time 
to merge everything into one big map by using "Adobe Photoshop" (what is your 
problem with Photoshop?) - I also understand french but not spanish, gomen ^^

Ok i try to explain the problem with photoshop. 
I use photomerge with the photos downloaded in just one layer on several 
folders with download button.

Ok, so after some minutes i see only one photo (small photo) and the others 
behind, i see in google why and find that photoshop need the photos have 
partialy the same on the sides (over 20%) and the photos of gmapcatcher don not 
have the same sides, just combine in the border, so i don't join the photos.

Other thig, Snagit maybe will have less resolution photos, or not?

Hola Javi

 Ayer termine un monton de cambios que tenia pendientes en GMapCatcher, ahora puedes exportar el mapa a una imagen mas grande, tirale un ojo al Issue 99, todavia me quedan un par de detallitos por pulir, pero la funcion de exportar funciona.

 Aun no he creado el instalador de windows, que sistema tienes Tu? si es Linux puedes bajarte el codigo y ejecutarlo sin problemas...

Saludos
Helder

Tengo windows XP ... y muchas gracias por escribir en español.

He visto el Issue 99, pero no sé como conseguirlo, he instalado con el 
instalador de windows pero no sé que archivo bajo y cómo lo instalo, dime 
cual por favor:

  GMapCatcher-0.7.2.0.tar.gz  
  mapcatcher_0.7.2.0-1_all.deb  
  mapcatcher_0.7.2.0-0_all.deb  
  debian_support.zip      
  GMapCatcher-0.7.2.0.exe 

Por cierto enhorabuena por el programa que es fantástico y gracias por 
contestar tan rápido a mis preguntas, sois formidables, y encima en español, 
gracias de verdad.

Bajate e instala este:
http://code.google.com/p/gmapcatcher/downloads/detail?name=GMapCatcher-0.7.2.2.e
xe

Este instalador tiene todo lo ultimo en el export, te recomiendo que comiences 
exportando una imagen mediana (1024x1024) asegurate que todo funciona bien y 
despues incrementa la resolucion, ten presente que las imagenes grandes demoran 
un poco en ser creadas.

De verdad que gracias ...

Hello, What is the latest windows installer? I am running 0.7.5 and the export 
doesn't work... there is no map.png written anywhere... it takes it time doing 
something but I can't see the map.png anywhere...

Nah, if you say you don't have it, then it's just too bad, housejavi has just 
been scamming us all along lol - I didn't get far will the export function. I 
use to use the 0.7.5 too, so....what is the final output you want?

Original comment by tjoolfoo on 2 Oct 2010 at 2:08

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Yes 0.7.5 is the latest
http://code.google.com/p/gmapcatcher/downloads/detail?name=GMapCatcher-0.7.5.0.e
xe

But the name of the file will be something like:
coord=-27.683528,22.500000_zoom=8.png

the file will be create in the same folder where the program is locate, in my 
case in folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\GMapCatcher
