Download Google Map use gMapMaker to creat for my N82

http://forum.mgmaps.com/viewtopic.php?t=1116

I'm happy to announce that gMapMaker, a tool by Damien Debin can now download map tiles in a format supported by MGMaps. You can get latest version 0.5 from http://www.mgmaps.com/cache/gMapMaker-setup.exe, it's a self-extracting zip archive. UPDATE: You need to have .NET Framework v2.0 installed for the program to work.

The program is easy to use and has the functionality of the previous MapTileCacher.pl and MapTileFE.pl scripts. It can only download map tiles from Google for now, but support for other sources will be added soon. To use it, follow these steps:
  1. If you had an older version of gMapMaker before installing v0.5, remove the folder "C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\gMapMaker"
  2. Install gMapMaker. When the installation is complete the application should start automatically.
  3. Choose one of the following two:
    1. batch download: Open your browser, navigate to http://www.mgmaps.com/create, select the area you want to download. Click Generate and save the .map file on your computer. Back in gMapMaker, select "MGMaps mode, use a .map file" as the operating mode then click "Go" and select the .map file saved.
    2. single area: Enter the coords, select the zoom level and map type for the area to download. Make sure the cache folder path ends with "MGMapsCache". Make sure you have selected "MGMaps mode, use entered area" as the operating mode. Click "Go".
  4. When the download is ready, you'll find all the map tiles in the selected MGMapsCache folder. Just copy this folder with all its subfolders to your memory card and configure MGMaps to use it. Move the map in MGMaps to the area/zoom level you downloaded map tiles for - use Menu->Go To and enter the coordinates, zoom level and map type.
  5. The application can also use a set of proxies for satellite imagery download in order to avoid having your IP address temp-banned by Google (which happens if you download many satellite tiles in a short time).
