Maverick Pro 1.55

I used Maverick on a recent London to Brighton ride using a map exported from Google Maps. An issue I found was that the drawing algorithm relies on two points being on the screen at the same time. So if the second waypoint was far from the first one, the line I was following would just disappear. The way round was to zoom out, but it was a little annoying, because I had cached all tiles at a specific zoom level.

Also on another note, is it possible to include the open cycle map as a map option? It would be very useful when in town to be able to locate cycle routes without having to rely on paper maps.

Overall though I love your product and will be purchasing it in the near future. Keep up the good work.

Just installed this and seems to work really well (and I’m a Garmin 60CSX owner).

2 questions:
1 – is there an option to switch off data downloading, to rely on cached maps only?
2.- are there different cached maps at different scales i.e. if I download a large area when zoomed out, are all the component maps there already for zooming in, without additional data downloads?
(traveling to Canada soon, and want to preload the maps!)
thanks!

Would it be possible to impliment an audible alarm should you stray too far from the active track/GPX file. I use Maverick whilst cycling, and it’d be nice for when times that I’m not following the screen directions, if it were to alert me before I’ve strayed too far off the beaten track/road.

Thanks for good suggestions!

Fantastic software.

as managing/merging offline maps can be a real pain due to the size and number of tiles, I have a feature request:

1) the possibility to add your own map directory and have it show up on the ‘map source’ page. eg. i put my offline cache of google terrain for the uk in SDcard/maverick/tiles/my_maps/my_uk/…., then on the ‘map source’ page i could choose ‘my maps>my_uk’….. this would be very very handy….

Hi

I really like your product and I am using it a lot in helicopter aviation.

But I have two requests to make additional changes for it –

1. can you please make in settings a button for switching to landscape mode (and a landscape mode itself too) ?
2. And also I would like in compass mode that the arrow is looking all the time up (my heading) – so it will be more easy to change a flight direction to go to saved point of interest directly.

And – yes – I am ready to pay for those two changes – lets say 300 EUR to your account.

Thanks
I hope it will be interesting for you

Hi there
This app is the best !!!!!!!!
One Q: does anyone have a little info about the “radar” or “compass” screen. In the center sometimes is triangle, sometimes nothing and somtimes pulsating circles. I have googled this to hell but came up emty 🙁
Please help

Thanks 🙂
This solves part of the problem ….. the bigger part 🙂
I know the blue dot is the “goto” point, but what does it mean when pulsating circles comes out from the center of the compass ( and there are no triangle at the time ) ?
Thanks again

Yes, bearing is calculated by GPS when you’re moving.

Does really nobody can give any hint about my question back from August 20th regarding the not working current location determined by network provider (GSM) only?

Hi, i cant get to work files from http://www.walkingenglishman.com/index.aspx , tried few already, i can see track when file is open in Mobile Atlas Creator but when i copy it into my SD card it loads correctly but cant see track. Otherwise great application. ps. I’m on pro version.

Thanks

Hi, very impressed with Maverick and its caching ability – using it on HTC Desire. But confused about downloading offline maps – where to store on SD card? Using a folder …/o/o/… doesn’t fit with the structure already set up by the automatic caching. I want to download maps for forthcoming hol in Maryland USA but not too keen to spend the time doing it if I can’t be sure Maverick will find it on the SD card. Hope you can explain this for me. Regards, Peter.

Hi – on the online help system you are told to place the downloaded maps into, for example, …mapnik/o/o/o.png.tile. I don’t understand why you’re asked to create those extra folders …/o/o/…

Hi again. I haven’t tried it because the online help doesn’t make sense to me and I don’t want to spend time doing large downloads that might not work. The structure of automatically cached maps on the SD card is (for mapnik for example): /sdcard/maverick/tiles/mapnik/[a number that I think represents the zoom level]/[a number that I think represents the region]/[a number that I think identifies the tile].png.tile. What I didn’t understand is the online help asking you to use e.g. sdcard/maverick/tiles/mapnik/0/0/0.png.tile. Have I been stupid here? Do the three ‘0’s merely represent the appropriate numbers and are not actually zero’s? Regards.

Now I find a new problem that I would like anybody out there to answer for me. I have downloaded a large number of Microsoft Map tiles – to the folder that Maverick already created, and is shown in the offline help: microsoft_map. However, neither Microsoft Maps nor microsoft_map is displayed in the Maps option screens. How do I make Maverick look at the Microsoft Maps, then? Anybody out there who can help?

HelloOo everyone…

Until today I was like all the other commenters.. could not make offline maps anymore using Mobile Atlas Creator …

Here is the solution (my exemple are for Google Map Hybrid):

Until now , the maps created by MAC, had these names :

173.png.tile (png here)

now if you want your offlines map to work, you onluy have to rename this way :

173.jpg.tile (jpg here)

Be careful because the folder created by MAC, is not named correctly anymore :
MAC creates a folder named Google Hybrid
The GOOD name should be googlemaps_hybrid

Another thing that is strange, if that for googlemaps tiles.. the filenames are working if they are names this way 173.png.tile (with png inside)

Just my 0.02€ !!
Good Luck with this
