MyWorldMap plugin V 1.0 RC5 (Google Maps and Virtual Earth) (2 Viewers)

[lkuech]

Hi all.

My development time is very limited in the moment (and the weather is pretty good as well ), but I want to give you a brief lookout of what I will implement next thought.

It is already mentioned in the todo's list... but not in detail.

The very next thing is the "sms style text insertion", because I hate the fact that I have to "pick" the letters via the navigation keys when using the remote.
What I plan is a mode like you may know it from your cell phone... pressing the 2 button once means "a" ... pressing it twice means "b" and so on...

After this I will implement the placemarks save and restore dialog.
I'm not sure if I should store the placemarks in a database or if I should use a folder structure instead... what would you prefer? Currently I lean towards the folder structure, but maybe you have some better ideas.

Bye

@all
Iam surprised that nobody mentioned that the google maps function (at least roads and hybrid) does not work anymore. The reason for this seams to be a slight change of the urls that google offers (there is a versioning is the urls and this version has changed).

I plan to upload a new version soon.

Thank you again lkuech for this great plugin!

One request: Please make it optional (or disabled) to hide the music overlay on the maps (when playing music), it's taking too much space and looks weird .

 

[lkuech]

Mhh...
That is strange because in version 0.3.1 that is already done.
Are you sure you are using the skin files from that version?

Normally there should be a "<allowoverlay>no</allowoverlay>" in the MyWorldMap.xml ... this disallows overlays of any kind.

Yeah, you're right lkuech! I just forgot to copy the xml files for the 0.3.1 version, now it works! Thank you

I don't know if it's possible, but there's a really cool plugin for google earth - yes, I know you use google maps instead - for wetter.com http://www.wetter.com/v2/?SID=&LANG=DE&LOC=1410&LOCFROM=9026
Maybe it's possible to build something like this? A very cool combination of MyWorldMap and Weather(plugin)?

Well, sooner or later I will try to integrate an overlay support. Maybe it will also possible to use kml file then... but that is a really complex topic ... so, no promise

Great plugin!! But i'm getting problems using the arrow keys... when i press the up arrow the top bar is displayed and i can't move the map... how can i disable the top bar for being showed??

Thanks,

Hi patricon.

I know this one... It's already in the known bugs (first thread).
Currently the only chance is to disable the topbar plugin completely. I will investigate this problem in a later version.
