Map Builder - How to build map from Google Maps
- Run Mup Builder
- Menu Start
- Go to "my" Google Maps and find the area you wish to compress for QuickGPS (use Address lookup)
- Click map in left upper corner of the chosen area, the application will show an arrow at that point and will provide you with Latitude and Longitude on the right. Copy these values to the first line of coordinates in MapBuilder. The coordinates may also be negative values!!!
- Click map in right lower corner of the chosen area and do the same for this point -> copy coordinates to the second line.
- Define Map type and Zoom and click "Test map" to see example of chosen map type and zoom
- Specify zoom levels to build (if it is supported in your version) and also the way they are built (from google maps or as resized main map), we recommend to keep the default values.
- Specify output file name
- Click OK, coffee time, it may take some time (depends on map size and speed of your connection)
- Copy the map to Memory stick (\DOCUMENT\QuickGPS\Maps). Use it.

| X and Y for the bitmap (Jan) | 4.2.2010 |
| Thanks Dave for the quick reply earlier ! How can I identify the cordinate (x, y) on a bitmap? My BMP according to PAINT(Ctrl-E) have Height=2032(y) and Width=1920(x). I guess upper left corner is 0, 0 (x, y) !? but what is the right lower corner? and how can I identify a point elseware on the BMP? is it possible in PAINT? Best regards Jan (Sweden) | Answer |
| Re: X and Y for the bitmap (Dave) | 4.2.2010 |
| Right lower is 1919:2031, I don't know if Paint can do it, try some more advanced graphic editor. | Answer |

| Mapbuilder (Fredrik) | 31.7.2008 |
| Thanks, seems to work now. Is there a limit for mapsize (in km2) where they get too big for easy handling by the program? //Fredrik | Answer |

| Hi again! Now, after upgrading my P1i, every time I try to start Quick GPS it "dumps" the program... Upgrade necessary? And the Map builder links doesn't work either. Do you have a solution to this? Tried to reinstall but same problem... Help! Regards //Fredrik | Answer |
| Re: Re: Mapbuilder (Dave) | 27.12.2008 |
| The link on this page works fine. I don't know what problem you have with QuickGPS, can you send me an email and describe when exactly it happens?? Can you try to uninstall the application, delete Document/QuickGPS directory on both phone memory and memory stick and install it again?? | Answer |
| Re: Mapbuilder (Dave) | 7.9.2008 |
| No limits. | Answer |
| Mapbuilder (Fredrik) | 31.7.2008 |
| At last step of calibration I get the error message: "Cannot create target map file". Why? //Fredrik | Answer |
| Re: Mapbuilder (Dave) | 31.7.2008 |
| Most probably the application has no access to the target directory or the filename/directory is invalid. Please let me know if you keep on experiencing problems (send an email). | Answer |
| Re: Re: Mapbuilder (Dave) | 31.7.2008 |
| No, there are no limits. The map is divided to smaller pieces so only part of it is loaded into the memory. | Answer |
