I can confirm that Peter D's instructions do work for GPS Map on the Mio as it now appears to be working on mine (although I have yet to calibrate maps for it).
Thanks Peter!

Excuse me for being dim, but how does one actually download a map image from get-a-map?

GPS Bear
It foxed me for a while too !!
Having followed the big pink dot link you reach the "Get a Map" page where you can search by postcode, etc or simply click on the map of the UK to zoom in on the area you want.
Having reached the required area, turn your attention to the top right hand side of the screen where you will find a dialogue box with three lines of options - the bottom one is "Print Save Copy".
Clicking on this will open a new window with the map area you selected in it. Don't worry if the quality looks a bit odd - it seems to work out OK. In this new window, right clicking with your mouse will offer a number of options including "Save Picture as". I've only saved them as Jpegs so far - seems to work fine.
Hope this helps
Regards
Greg

After a long pause in development a new release of GPSMap-OS is finally available! :P

New features in version 1.4:

  • Coordinates can now be entered in WGS84 lat/long formats (ideal for those geocache locations!).
  • Display of GPS altitude when available.
  • Saving and loading of GPS trails.
  • Trail recording can be switched on and off on the fly.
  • Plus the obligatory bugfixes and tweaks.

Get the program from: http://www.craporola.com/GPSMap.html

Glad I found this thread Smile

I will certainly be trying this out but I have one question for now?

I see from the Get a Map site that it has a default 'zoom'/scale setting for the "download". This covers a reasonable area but is it possible (and sorry if I missed this somewhere) to have a larger area covered by downloading more than one map and for your program to move across them as appropriate. Or should I be downloading a zoomed out map........? but that will have less detail.

I wonder if my ramblings make sense and hope you throw some light on this confusion on my part. And how it is possible for example to have most of Surrey or a selectable county on the PDA?

TIA Smile

TIA,
At the moment the program doesn't automatically switch between maps, but you can stitch a few of the getamap ones together using a photo editing program to cover a bigger area. There is a limit to the size of image you can load into the program though, depending on the memory space on your PDA, so you may need to experiment with rescaling the image down a little. The 1:50,000 scale has less detail as you say, but it does give wider coverage and is still pretty good for walking.

Hi,

Great info so far, but

Has anyone tried to load GPSMap by Shanks on to the AytoBe (aka Malata PG63503). I have managed to get the software running but I’m unable to change the setting on the GPS Serial feed, hence no comms with the GPS. When you go in to setting the screen goes gray with on text all input. The AytoBe is any AIO GPS running Win CE 4.2 Core. Does the software have a supporting file with Comm info stored or does it change the Reg.

Thanks

Joe

A great programme. But I found if the map file is larger than 200k, I cannot open it.

Just a quick note to let you know I've set up a forum for GPSMap users at http://craporola.freeforums.org. FAQs, chat, help and support, plus a place to share trails and map points with other folk. I know there are a lot of GPSMap users out there, so please make yourselves known by joining up today and helping make the site a useful community resource!

Yes, finally a new version of GPSMap-OS hits the streets! Razz

Fantastic new features for this version:

  • Map points can now be exported as Placemarks in a Google Earth/Maps KML file.
  • Map trails can bow be saved as Paths in a Google Earth/Maps KML file.
  • Added "Use GPS Position" button onto coordinate entry dialog. Makes map calibration and point update based on your current position easier to perform.
  • Default folder for loading map images is now "GPSMap Maps" (avoids very long listing times).
  • COM port number now freely editable to allow for using "virtual" COM ports, for example via GPSGate.

Download the new version from the GPSMap Homepage.

Been using GPSdash but having had to re-install all software on my spv-C500 have lost the reg code and there's no answer from support. I am looking for a GPS program that will accept 'jpeg type' maps.
Question is will gpsgo or map-os work with my ancient setup SPV-C500 running Windows CE 4.21. I have copied the .exe files over but get a message 'cannot find GPSO or one of its components.....are all required libraries available.
