Mapparium - OpenStreetMap client for all Amiga systems

[ALB42]

Mapparium is a OpenStreetMap client for all Amiga systems
(on Amiga68k it needs a FPU and a GFX card and much RAM, better use UAE )

New Version 0.2 is available for all Platforms


Changes for 0.2:

•   ADD: Show Height/Speed map of recorded tracks
• ADD: Marked position in curve mark also on the map
• ADD: Support for KML/KMZ Loading
• FIX: Optimized image keeping

Check out the Mapparium page.

A quick test here (OS4.1FE on Sam440F) : 68K runs fine, but OS4 version fails to load map. The snoopdos log reveals the following :

20    FPC Subthread #1   Open       LOCALDOMAIN                 Read    Fail
25    FPC Subthread #1   Open       RES_OPTIONS                 Read    Fail

Nice work. And I like your warning for "Totally useless Aros Distribution".

@cass:

thanks for trying, I do not own a OS4 machine so I can not try.
Would you please download the OS4 version again and try. I guess I just forgot to update my freepascal installation before compiling, so some bugfixes were missing

Thanks.

OK, I`ll try this for you.

Now it loads  and displays the tiles without a problem, but it still fails to display any text (font loading?).
The problem was already present in the previous version, but I thought it was connected to the whole display problem (my bad, since it fails to display fonts in GUI, in particular MapData coordinates in main window, Statistics window all the text and Prefs window  - "MaxTiles in memory", Middle position marker", "WayPoints", "Tracks", "Start Position", "Cached Data", buttons excluded).

Good work, I really enjoyed your blog and discovered other goodies besides Mapparium (Free Pascal etc!)

really? no texts, this is strange, I tested last week and there it worked nicely
and also on my UAE the fonts are there, even not the one I set.

I changed the fonts a little bit maybe you want to try  https://home.alb42.de/Mapparium_powerpc-amiga-fonttest.lha

Yes, I confirm the fonts problem is still present.

One utility that might be of use is GPSBabel which converts various GPS data so you can import these to Mapparium.

II have RunGAP data imported from GPS runs, stored in Garmin Training Centerxml (gtrnctr) .tcx format. Unfortunately GPSBabel Version 1.3.4 can only write data to this format, so no import. Latest version (1.5.x), might do better.

@Cass:

I could add support for it in the next version to load directly tcx data, could you supply a file with a track and a waypoint?

sad, that the font is still not visible, could you supply a screenshot, that I can get an idea about what we are talking? Please. Is there something special with your setup?
4.1 FE I guess? latest updates? MUI update? maybe thats the reason, mine is rather old.

[ALB42]

I found a clue, the Alphavalue for font color was not set. so maybe thats the reason.
could you please try again: https://home.alb42.de/Mapparium_powerpc-amiga-fonttest2.lha

Thanks for the help

if it works, I will make a new release especially for OS4.

I tested all three versions and have a font problem.

%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!.

Thanks for the test.

btw. did someone test the m68k version on OS4? Fonts are visible there?

I created 2 more versions:
https://home.alb42.de/Mapparium_powerpc-amiga-fonttest3.lha with an other color fix try
and one
https://home.alb42.de/Mapparium_powerpc-amiga-fonttest4.lha which uses Obtainpen to make colors

if both fails, and still no text showing I'm out of options and without testing possibility I will just drop OS4 support until someone else is able to fix this LCL issue.

Congratulations, both display fonts correctly.

Regarding the .tcx format, I may mail you a file. PM me your contact address.

Works pretty good on a68k.

Hope you can fix/change some things:

- clear cache on exit.
- double click, zooms in.
- add the 'mapquest open' layer, then the english names are shown next to the native ones (which most ppl here can't read anyway, like russian, chinese, japanese, etc).
- search for example: beijing china gets lots of  ?
- type in name in searchbox and enter, auto search. instead of having to press the button.
