MUIMapparium

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Author: Marcus Sackrow

MUIMapparium is a OpenStreetMap.org Viewer for all Amiga Systems with Waypoints/Tracks/Routes Loading/Saving creation.

Requirements
all Systems

RTG Graphics card (Picasso 96 or CGFX) 15/16/24/32 bit Screen
TCP/IP Stack (Internet connection)
8+ MB RAM


Supported Amiga-systems

Amiga 68k, 68020+, (68881+ FPU recommended) AmigaOS 3.0+
Amiga OS4, OS 4.0+
AROS i386, ABIv0
AROS ARM, ABIv0 ARMV6+ VFPV2+ HardFloat (e.g. RasPi 1-3)
AROS x86_64, ABIv1 (non SMP-Version)
MorphOS 3.8+


Additional Notes

The FPU version is much faster, especially with routes and tracks. If
you experience slow map movement, with the NoFPU version, don’t blame me
(or the program) buy a proper FPU.

With Vampire (at least until Gold 2.9) you have to use the
NoFPU-Version of MUIMapparium. The Vampire FPU is not IEEE754
compatible and therefore does not work with MUIMapparium.

Offline Operation is possible, but only harddisk cached map images

nice map viewer!
is it possible to change destination folder for downloaded map tiles?

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Ciao honx, i have never tried to do this, if you want to do it first ask HERE to its author, maybe you can ask for more info

Thats exactly the purpose of the ToolType mentioned in the Changelog

Define Directory for Images via ToolTypes: e.g. DATADIR=DH1:TmpDir

Open the Icon Information for MUIMapparium and add a Tooltype

DATADIR=DH1:TmpDir

replace DH1:TmpDir by the directory you want to use for the images.

[honx]

i tried that tooltype (in my case dh3:misc/mapdata) but it didn't work.

i tried following variations:
DATADIR=DH3:misc/mapdata
DATADIR="DH3:misc/mapdata"
"DATADIR=DH3:misc/mapdata"

also even if i delete data folder in program folder, no difference.
a new data folder is created and all map tiles are stored within.

i ended up moving the entire program folder to dh3:misc location.

btw. how can i make routes, etc? didn't figure it out yet.
currently i only can make waypoints on the map but no routes.
if i add route in routes tab, name it and save, nothing happens.
no route has been added, routes tab is still empty.
on path tab there is no "add" button at all. how to make path?
as long this path tab remains empty, the edit button is useless...

and how can i set sidebar and stats window to be visible at start?

This one is the right notation. for it
Which system do you use? (Amiga OS3.x, OS4, AROS, MorphOS) I only tried that on AROS currently.

Oh I see it should be

DATAPATH=DH3:misc/mapdata

uhh big error in changelog sorry

Creation of routes is not implemented currently, you can only load routes created by other programs currently (Mapparium for example, the LCL version) this will be added in the next Version. I'm a little bit busy currently so next version will need some time and I wanted to have the bugfixes released thats the reason for that unfinished state.

I did not implement something like that, I think about a way to implement that.
Thanks for the feedback.

thanks, i'm using amigaos 3.9, all boingbags installed. currently only emulated.

thanx for information. now that i know, i don't need to try.
don't worry about time. it's finished when it's finished...

sounds good, thanks!

[trixster]

Could you make an os3.9 PowerPC version?

MUIMapparium v0.6 Update

[honx]

nice, now stats windows stays open, thank a lot! i wish, i could also leave sidebar open and save its width!
how can i change order of waypoints in list? moving a waypoint up/down by mouse doesn't seem to work.
how can i set start location? map position always centers berlin at start, which is not my home location...
and different colours for waypoints would be a nice feature too!

[AMIGASYSTEM]

In fact it seems that we can not change it home location, i will ask its author (ALB42), if you want to do it yourself or you have other questions to ask him, HERE you find his discussion.

[honx]

i'd rather wait until he comes back here and reads this thread again.
because i don't want to register again in yet another board...

Thanks for trying and the reply.

leave sidebar open did not work as expected... Thats the reason I left it out... I have to work on it a bit more (some MUI strange behavior) same with the width, that is nothing I can influence, MUI handle that.

yeah the start location, I just forget the prefs window entry for it
you can add it by hand of course to the prefs
Open MUIMapparium.prefs (in the same folder) with a text editor
and add a section "[General]" if not already there and add the two entries
StartLan,StartLon with the longitude and latitude of the start point (you can read from a waypoint for example) with a point as decimal separator
for example:

[General]
StartLat=14.5
StartLon=18.6

Different colors for waypoints and ordering I will remember that

Thanks

[honx]

thx, setting start position works!
is it also possible for main map window to stay focused, also if stats window remains open on startup?
would be nice feature too! and what exactly can i do with "paths" tab? never found out how to use it.

[ALB42]

maybe I have to check.

Pathes? you mean Tracks (Pfad in german)? hmm that means you didn't find the main reason I made that Program. ;-)
Thats GPS recorded travels. You can load different kind of files recorded by GPS devices (or mobiles this days) GPX is most common, but also KML/KMZ is rather often used (by google earth for example) and FIT (Garmin) is possible.
I use MUIMapparium mainly to inspect my bicycle travels ;-) which I recorded with my iPhone. (Motion GPS, or Komoot)

To have an idea how that looks like use the TracksnMarker.lha I supplied on the MUIMapparium page, there is a Track included which you can look at try also "Edit" to get the plot like shown on the screenshot on MUIMapparium page. Watch this Video [ Show youtube player ] it's from Mapparium, but MUIMapparium works comparable.

have fun

[honx]

thx, i never worked with gps devices, so i didn't know about.
i downloaded the file and loaded it. now i'm playing with it.
another question: is it possible to rename "current position" in routes tab?

[ALB42]

ATTENTION:

Currently the Search function is broken, because the service used for it changed to SSL only which is not supported by MUIMapparium at the moment.
I will work on this the next days, so wait for 0.7 to fix that.

and because there is an error in the source MUIMapparium will crash instead of printing the errorcode

The routing function is also affected by this of course.

Sorry.

[ALB42]

Check https://blog.alb42.de/2018/05/18/muimapparium-0-7/

I added some debug output at AmigaOS4, so if you experience problems starting up MUIMapparium on OS4 check the debug output (e.g. Sashimi) it should count from 1 to 26 on the program start, check if any numbers missing and send me the result on one of the forums I'm usually on.

[honx]

this i call progress! nice!
but setting a route is buggy. first route leads from current position (hm) in klagenfurt to mainz, which is almost perfect.
because of first route being displayed in english i wanted do draw the same route again after i set language to german.
it should also lead from current position (hm) in klagenfurt to mainz. but current position isn't current position anymore.
it's more north, see start of green route. green route should be identical to blue route as it should start at same positon.
coordinates are still the same as current positon (hm) but the start point is off by a huge distance towards north.
colours don't fit either for second route. light blue colour is selected, but second route with wrong start is green.
and searching within route making window doesn't work for me. i can only do current position to current position.
would be nice being able to select predefined waypoints as start and end position of the route...
