Map Switching... Still a problem?

antimatter · 01-20-2005, 04:58 PM

Hello,

I just wanted to throw up a quick post to ask if the map switching problem has been resolved.

I did do a few searches and only turned up huge long threads to sift through

I thought this issue (actually a huge issue IMO) deserves it's own thread.

So say i want to travel through from Calafornia to New York. Must I switch maps along the way? Can I compile 1 huge map of the USA?

I know that Destinator had a limitation before (i think 50mb). I remember reading back a while ago that this problem was fixed (Ninja Monkey)

So if it is fixed do I need to do anything special when i install the maps becasue i think it has it split up by state (some larger states have 2 maps)

I really think that switching maps will be a drag.

Sorry if this question has already been answered.

There is no limit, but powerloc provide the maps of the USA in different sections...so yes, you will have to switch. I have no idea why they do it like that seeing as they have a map cutter if it's too big.

All of the non-usa maps are single files....just not the US! I still haven't found a way to merge maps...someone needs to reverse-engineer the map cutter.

Thanks Ninja Monkey.

I sware it's times like these that i wish i knew more about software development.

Anyone up for the task? Is there any way of contacting the people that originally modified the DLL?

Cheers

I am going to call POwerLoc see if they can provide a merged/single map. It shouldnt be too hard for them to do it.
