First of all, mymotion is an awesome application! It's exactly what I was looking for on my gps-enabled pda. If I can get the maps on the pda, it will be perfect.

running makemymap 1.43 on Vista Business SP1 I get "a required privlege is not held by client" even with UAC turned off.

A fix for that would be great, or you could tell me how to make the tgz by hand. I assume I just need a tga file and a coordinates.txt file with the GE extents for the exported image. I can make tga 16bit using PhotoShop, but will it work? Can you upload a coordinates.txt sample file so that I can duplicate that format? Do I just need to zip those two files into an archive then change the extension to .tgz and copy to the mymotion folder on the PDA?

I'd also like to upload maps from other sources since GoogleEarth doesn't have very good coverage for my area. I assume it's the same process, make a tga from any image and tell mymotion the extents in the coordinates.txt file, right?

Hi John,

I'm not sure what the problem with Vista is, I have not been able to reproduce (maybe because I have administrator rights). Exactly when does this error occur (after pressing which button)?

In the meantime here is a sample .tgz that you can download and extract the contents from to see how it works (rename to zip). http://users.bigpond.net.au/ian_pendlebury/detroit.tgz

16 bit tga should be OK, the issue with making it by hand is getting square numbers for the dimensions (an opengl texture requirement). I use the "convert" utility to do this - you will find it installed in the makemymap area, it should work from the command line. You can use it to convert to TGA and stretch/shrink at the same time.

I found a potential Vista problem with temp files that I have fixed.
Could you give this a try on Vista and tell me if it works?

Conversion works great.

Error from fbzip: "unable to find:c:\users\john\appdata\local\temp\map.zip"

map.tga and coordinates.txt are in that directory.

I manually added the converted image and txt file to a zip, renamed it with .tgz, and it works on the pda in mymotion just fine.

Maybe a syntax error in the program? Is it looking for map.zip instead of map.tga?

The remaining problem seems to be FBzip (the freeware utility I am using) simply doesn't work on Vista unless you have Administrator access. You can verify this by finding it and trying to run it manually.
No idea why, and I have no workaround other than what you already did (find the files and manually zip), or to run with Administrator rights.
I'll have to wait from someone to fix FBzip or hunt around for another free zip utility that works on all platforms.
