Tutorial using offline maps on blackberry (Tested WITH 8800 Huron, try another type of own)
That is using the facility offline use maps provided by MGMAPS. The way it works is essentially a road map to download cache and then store it on the microSD and open it using the application MGMAPS. Here are the steps: (sorry no screenshots)
before you begin, download and install all the necessary tools:
a. MGMaps application for Blackberry OS 4.2 upwards in http://www.mgmaps.com/download.php. Install the Blackberry.
b. (OPTIONAL) Application GPSed for Blackberry in http://gpsed.com/mobile?blackberry. Install the Blackberry.
c. Software gMapMaker in http://www.mgmaps.com/cache/gMapMaker-setup.exe. Install on your PC.
After all ready to do the following:
1. Make sure the GPS in Huron you can already blazing. For 8820 and 8800 go to Options> Advanced Options> GPS> BB Button Press> Refresh GPS. Take the Blackberry into the open and wait a few minutes to appear coordinates where we are. For those who did not work that way, looking for open engineering tutorial on screen and solve its own problems if the GPS. Another alternative way to install GPSed on your Blackberry, open the application continues to wait for GPS lock.
2. With the browser open http://www.mapcacher.com/ PC
3. Here we are asked to enter any area limits the input that we want to make the maps offline. The trick is open the desired area with pan and zoom on maps Google Maps are available (e.g. I'm looking for Bandung area, then zooming in on level 12 so that all incoming Bandung city in the box on that site). After that, click once to input "peg" the first on the lower left corner, then click once again on the bottom right corner, click once again on the top right (you can see the area of red shading indicates the areas that we want to take a map offline), last then click once again on the top left so that we can be the red area surrounding the city we want. In this case I put the entire area of Bandung in the red shading. Would remove the peg just click again on the peg you want to delete, or simply select Reset to remove all the stakes that we entered earlier.
4. Enter the input parameters that we want in the fields below the map.
- Zoom level: from 0 to 15 (or If you want detail select 0 to 19)
- Level of Detail: Fast and Rough (the more detail the greater the file we downloaded later)
- Type of map: (I use Yahoo Roads Road Maps for Google Maps when I downloaded the file on the campus was empty, the Yahoo Maps in the house when I download any file.)
5. Press Generate and we will download the file MapXXXXXXXXXXX.map that we will use as a guide to download cache folder which we have previously entered input. Save the file somewhere easy to remember.
6. Open software gMapMaker and press browse in the upper right to choose our maps offline storage folder later. Let other parameter settings, but on the operating mode at the bottom, select "MGMaps mode, download using a. Map file".
7. Press Go and you will be asked to locate the file. Folder that you downloaded earlier. Enter his file folder and we will begin to download the file offline maps. And make sure the file is not corrupt.
8. When finished downloading then you'll get a folder whose contents MGMapsCache files offline maps tiles which we downloaded earlier. Copy the file to the microSD Blackberry in the Blackberry folder.
9. Open MGMaps on your Blackberry, continue to select: Menu> Settings> Map Browsing> Check Stored Maps and offline mode> Menu> Browse> Browse to SDCARD-Blackberry-MGMapsCache> Select> Menu> Save. Done it again MGMaps lid and open it again.
10. Here you should be able to get a map that you downloaded above. Maximum depth of zoom depending on parameters entered previously downloaded earlier time. If downloading at zoom levels 0-15, then the maximum zoom on just your MGMaps to 15. You want more detail can be improved zoom level with the consequences of his download it for much longer.
