[ gpsdrive ] Google Maps Instructions Outdated?

[John Williams]

Hi,

I've been using GpsDrive for a while (a couple of years) now, using maps
downloaded from Google Maps following the instructions on the GpsDrive wiki:

http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/gpsdrive/index.php?title=Creating_maps

and using the site it refers to:

http://gtm.tel.uva.es/ztep/maps/dmap.htm

It all seems to work well, except that something seems to have changed since
the last time I downloaded some maps in 2008.  Using the latest development
version of GpsDrive on Ubuntu (Jaunty) the maps that I downloaded a few days
ago do not seem to be recognised by GpsDrive.

I have some clue as to why.  The previous version complained about too many
digits (or something) in the map_koord.txt file, but the current version
does not.  I've included a sample of my file in case someone can spot
something obviously wrong.  The maps in the nz/ directory work fine, those
in the si12 do not.

Any other suggestions?  Have others been using that web site with no
problems recently?

Thanks in advance,

John
