You are an absolute lifesaver. You just saved me from hours and hours of figuring out how to do this manually. Thank you!

Thank you for this application, it’s really helpful.
I have just uploaded an image onto gmap uploader, but then the tile images appeared saying “No image here, sorry”

Just wanted to know if there is a solution to that.

I just wanted to express my thanks for creating such a brilliant awesome tool.
I spend the last week using multiple programs and tutorials trying to create an interactive map for a game to have on my site but they all were flawed one way or another.

Within minutes I’ve now got a fully functional custom map to work with and its all thanks to you!!

Now I’ve just got to figure out how to add markers and info boxes and such :D

Also, I have no issues to letting Gmap Uploader host the tiles but I’m a little concerned for the future if for some reason you shut it down. If for some reason you do decide to shut it down please, please let those who use it know and give us the chance to get the tiles :)

Once again, thank you and I wish you all the success with your new company :)

It seems like there is no space left on the server… When i try and access the tile image directly i get following error

“No space left on device in /home/mulka/gmapuploader/mt/tiles.php on line 6″

is it still possible to get a zip file of the image tiles so I can host the map on my own site.

HI There

Could you tell me how I can get the tiles created in the zip folder, I tried the URL you suggested here but I got the file not found on this server message

Thanks

Lee

Great application, but to second @blogbod i’d like to host the images on my own server, is that possible? Is the project still active even?

Hey Kyle, could you to add controls to the Gmap uploader that would make it possible to place images in their proper geographic location. At the ME-DEM Project we are making custom maps of Tolkien’s Middle Earth ( it is easier to read about it at the site than explain all our grand plans here) and our imagery/maps are geo-referenced to the two real world locations that Tolkien referenced for Hobbiton (Sarehole Mill UK) and Minas Tirith (Florence Italy). So we “know” the location/geographic coverge of each portion of the maps we create and as the project grows we would like to add new locations in at their proper coordinates.
I just uploaded a bit of the Misty Mts at http://gmapuploader.com/view/8mWcHfFSYB
that we are building in 3d and it shows 4 different views of the Mt chain; color shaded by elevation, slope, HSV, and color shaded + sunlight. It is a very basic image, I just grabbed on off my hard drive to see who the GMap Uploader works (very good).
Web programming is not our strong suit, we are more tinkerers than anything, so I asked on a chance it may be possible.
We have had better luck getting custom imagery and terrain into World Wind than custom tiles into a GMap.

also, if you have an idea of what you would like for a GMap Uploader banner/logo we could take a shot at it, we have several terrain, imagery and gis related programs on hand that may do the trick.

Feng,

Using the Google Maps API, you can set up an event handler which will give you the coordinates on a point you click on your map.
