Trekbuddy Atlas Creator / Mobile Atlas Creator

Hello Orux!

First I have to thank you very much for this great application OruxMaps! I already impressed and even shocked some friends of me because of the possibilty to carry a lot of maps around... even witout the need of beeing online

But I have some issue: Currently I am looking for topographic maps of Switzerland and found out, that the latest versions of Trekbuddy Atlas Creator (which is named now Mobile Atlas Creator) has some maps of Switzerland (Mapplus+ CH) added.

But these versions do not contain your patch to support OruxMaps-Atlas-Format directly.

Would it be possible for you to apply your patch also to some newer version of Mobile Atlas Creator (version 1.7 beta 8 would be great as this version also adds some other interesting maps like Ovi/Nokia maps)?

I tried it by myself but failed, as I have not (yet) the complete development environment to compile Mobile Atlas Creator from scratch.

Bye.

Hi Orux,

you'r a hero! It works, brilliant

Thank you very very much!

Bye.

Hi Orux,

please don't forget to publish the sources of your modified version as well - just as reminder: MOBAC is GPL...

BTW: Wouln't it be easier to integrate your modification into the official version?

Yes, of course; it has a fast and dirty hack that I expect solve next days.

I would like, but do not have time to monitor the development of mobac.

But if you want (or any other) to help in that task, I would be delighted.

The atlas creator interface is relatively stable and as long as the Orux atlas format does not change there is not much work.

Hi,

just wanted to mention that MOBAC 1.7 is now final and released. So if you find some spare time, orux, it would be great to have this version patched too... and yes, another nice map (bergfex.at) was added to MOBAC (great map with hiking routes in austria).

Bye.

Thanks,

Tomorrow I will have both orux version and sources ready.

I have taken over the OruxMaps AtlasCreator implementation into the main source code branch of Mobile Atlas Creator.

The code itself seems to be at large parts created using the copy-and-paste anti-pattern but I am sure it can adapted easily to a regular design pattern...

BTW: Is the limitation to the tile size 512x512 a fixed Orux limitation?

Hi, mobrob; thanks.

You are right. As I said earlier, it was a quick and dirty adaptation, which requires modification. Let me a few days, now that I have time, to do something serious.

Yes, 512x512 is a limitacion with current OruxMaps version.

I recommend to work on the sources from the project SVN. I already made some changes to the atlas creator, preparing a cleaner integration.

BTW: Check mobac.program.atlascreators.impl.MapTileBuilder by extending it and overriding the prepareTile(..) method should fit perfectly to OruxMaps atlas cretaor.

Just a notification to all users: Orux Maps atlas format has been integrated into to the official "Mobile Atlas Creator" version.
All versions higher than MOBAC 1.8 alpha 1 therefore have the ability to create atlases for Orux Maps.

All versions can be found on the project download page: https://sourceforge.net/projects/trekbuddyatlasc/files/
