MyWorldMap plugin V 1.0 RC2 (Google Maps and Virtual Earth)

[lkuech]

What is WorldMap all about? ... Well some picture may say more than thousand words

Attention for all pre 1.0 RC1 users: Google frequently changes the urls of there Maps, look here to find the current ones: MediaPortal Forum - View Single Post ...









Your can

• Browse the whole world via your remote
• watch Road maps, Satellite images or a hybrid image from Google maps or Microsoft Virtual Earth
• Find any address
• Find place names like "Mount Everest" or "Cape Cross" etc.

The plugin is controlled by default the following keys (you are able to define the remote keys in the config):

• move the map in the selected direction -- cursor keys
• Select a maptype -- "Enter" or "Ok" on the remote.
• ZoomIn -- PageUp (normally channel up on the remote)
• ZoomOut -- PageDown (normally channel down on the remote)
• Satellite view (toggle between Google and Microsoft) -- E or the green button on the remote
• Road map view (toggle between Google and Microsoft) -- R or the yellow button on the remote
• Hybrid view (toggle between Google and Microsoft) -- T or the blue button on the remote
• Toggle between the ZoomLevel and ZoomFactor mode -- M or the red button on the remote
  ZoomLevel means when zooming in the next more detailed level from the map provider will be downloaded.
  ZoomFactor means the already downloaded image will shown larger (zoomed). Default is factor 2, that means every map tile will be shown twice as big as it is normally.
• Zoom out to see the whole world -- 0 (on the remote as well)

Open the context menu to find the search function.
Press Enter (or OK on your Remote) to see the map type selection dialog.

Some notes:
No support for version < 0.2.3.0!

Next ToDo's:

• store and load Placemarks

Known bugs:

• Overlay is disable because it interfere the navigation (down key)
• cursor up navigates to the topbar (if enabled). Currently the only chance is to disable the topbar plugin completely. I will investigate this problem in a later version.

New in version 1.0 RC2

• Small fix to the texture converter to make the plugin Vista compatible with MP RC3 or later SVN's.
• Support for Blue3.

New in version 1.0 RC1

• Fixed the URL used for the Google Maps satellite maps.
• The cache path is relocated to a subfolder of the Mediaportal cache folder. This makes it more conform with the change that did come with MediaPortal 1.0 RC1.
• Minor changes to the address search function.
• lots of minor bug fixes.

New in version 0.5.0

• Easier way to switch between different maptype by simply using the "enter"-key or the "ok"-button on the remote.
• Support for the new Google maptype "Terrain".
• Multilanguage support. (EN, DE & NO so far you can send me your language files if you like)
• lots of minor bug fixes.

New in version 0.4.0

• update the google maps url's so it should work again. From now on you are able to configure the url's your self via the config.
• all placeholder graphics are now skinable (no more dirty orange )
• bug in the "delete old cache database entries" function fixed. (That means the plug in really deletes old entries now)
• google maps image download is more reliable now. So try to set up your simultaneous download to 5 like it is sone for other map types.
• sms text insertion possible know. You have to make sure that the virtualkeyboard receives the REMOTE_0 to REMOTE_9 actions. I will describe later how to do this.

New in version 0.3.1

• a lot of minor fixes.
• The saving of setting when leaving the plugin is now much more reliable.
• small changes to the menu skin files (thx again Taipan )
• the "show previous menu" function does not cycle through the Worldmap dialogs anymore after using the search several times.
• fixed the bug that crashes MP if a search does not deliver any data. (i.e. after a non valid value was entered in the search dialog)
• the "show worldoverview" function does not switch to VEHybrid anymore.

New in version 0.3

• some minor bug fixes (please dont stop to post your bug reports. Set your MediaPortal log mode to "Debug" and post your mediaportal.log as attachment)
• define remote keys via the config menu.
• define the cache behaviour via the config menu.
• define how many threads are allowed simultaneously to download map tiles.
• context menu option to choose the map type and change the zoom mode.
• option menu to free unused space from the cache database.

• Window management changed slightly (ones again ). (hopefully that fixes the context menu is not shown bug)
• BlueTwo Wide skin file optimization to the search result page (thanks Taipan) (menu will come later)
• Added more debug messages to get better traces. (Please set your MediaPortal log mode to "debug" if you plan to post bug reports here.) Watch for [Worldmap] entries.
• Better exception handling in some routines.

New in version 0.2

• Window management changed slightly. (hopefully that fixes the context menu is not shown bug)
• More robust calculation of Virtual Earth Url's (maybe that fixes the "System.IndexOutOfRangeException" bug
• checking if the current longitude and latitude values make sense (even after loading settings)
• Placename search using geonames.org

Cool
Will give it a try as soon as it has been validated

[Inker]

Very cool indeed, can't wait! This has been requested quite a bit.

[gemx]

Working nice - just one bug:
The context menu won't open - the command "goto previous window" is used instead

[mikael]

just one word: WOW!

[THDBASED]

Very very nice, but could one of the devs please change the looks of the on-screen keyboard, it doesn't reflect the "Niceness" of the MP GUI.

[piranha]

It would be very cool if you could save waypoints and recall them from the list/menu.

[ronsonol]

I get a black screen, error log shows this. I am using a recent SVN.
Both DLL's were placed in the plugins/windows folder. I notice a 'System.Data.SQLite' in Mediaportal root folder, is there a conflict?

Being a map freak... this is a great plugin! I LOVE IT!!

One slight issue that i have found is that it crashes when not running MP in full screen...which is not really a problem on a real HTPC system... but on my work machine it crashes as soon as i run it in non full screen mode. Let me know if you cannot reproduce it and i will post the logs.


Here is the log btw from exception.log
