First of all, thanks NickD for this fantastic idea (also the integrated google-maps images downloader). I have some problems with EasyTiler.
I am not sure if this subject was already covered in a thread on the M6 forum, but the forum is down right now, so therefore I will post it here.
The first time, I entered the coordinates of the area, and the images appeared to download correctly.
However, the second time, I changed some settings and when I started the downloading, the images won't download correctly.
Almost all the downloaded JPG's are only 3 KB, and when you look inside them, they contain this HTML data generated by the google server:
Strangely enough, some of the JPG images appear to contain the right data, but most of them contain this warning.
So it looks like Google is trying to prevent other applications from downloading google maps server? Is there a solution?
regards,
mcduck
PS I am really interested in the way/protocol it can download images from the Google Maps server, as I'd like to experiment with this too, but first things first
