Terracrosser - GPS TOOL

[mt2005]

I had found this pretty cool GPS tool (www.terracrosser.com), yet it's zooming does not work on HTC Diamond. I had tried to modify registry fot scrolling wheel, but I was only able to scroll the map up and down, not to zoom.

Any help would be great.


Here is the way to registry:
HKLM/Software/HTC/SmartTouch/Terracrosser/
classname (string): #NETCF_AGL_BASE_
Mode (dword): 4
WheelCount (dword): 2

The website contains little to no information.
What does this app do?
How does it differ to Google maps?
Can it grab a map of Paris for me for me to use offline in the future?

I don't understand, it uses gps to show your location with maps from google maps.... So basically it's just google maps?

Looks like it, read the .PDF on download page

So it appears. Try using Google Maps for the Diamond (http://www.google.com/gmm/GoogleMaps.CAB) instead of Terracrosser.

Damn, what a nice tool, I will certanly keep that in mind!
I have searched for a proper solution to download the google maps for a long time... that saves me a lot gprs costs ;)
Nice tool, hoe they gonna fix the zoom-bug, then it'll be just perfect!

Not really usable for the moment but, if I understand well the documentation, the tool Mapper (wich crashes for me) should be able to save maps with different zoom levels and that would be great ! Touch screen and jog dial navgation would also be great...

I'll keep an eye on this... ;)

so how easy would it be to download maps for offline viewing.
Can I tell it to just 'go fetch maps for Paris' and that will be enough? Thats the sort of solution I would need, a list of cities and I 'check off' which ones I would want it to download and cache

I have tested the mapper for some minutes, i am at work, so not much time to do it in detail ;)

You have to zoom to the area you want to download by yourself, after that you choose how many zoomleves are to be saved and the rest dows the program on its own. Quite simple in my opinion.
But a feature to enter the city you want to download would be great, too ;)
Perhabs it'll be added in the near future. It#s the first official version of this tool, as I have read on the page.

sorry but how can I control the program. I`ve added the necessary reg keys to navigate with hw keys but I can not zoom. stylus navigation isn`t supported?

Hello!

If anybody want to betatest Terracrosser for HTC Diamond, please contact "mail at terracrosser dot com".

Thank you,
Nitisara

[Nitisara]

Please use version 1.0.1 - touch screen zooming implemented (read User manual).

Great program, just what a lot of people have been after.

Why has it taken so long for someone to actually make an offline/cached map viewer??!?! I wouldn't have thought it would be that difficult!

I'm having a few problems with the software that I will try and solve, hopefully this keeps getting better!

I get a "server stoped" message when I go to the url where terracrosser was previously found
http://www.terracrosser.com

[bhavmit]

Same problem for me also. Nitisara please make the site work so we can download the latest version of terracrosser.

[fruschke]

It's a pitty that the site is down.
Luckily I already grabbed a version. And I used it in Cuba :cool:
As far as I know there are no GPS-maps available because that is not allowed.
But Terracrosser was a big help, especially when a jinetero is helping you to go to somewhere else :D
