Hi All,
I, and others, have noticed that the original hosting server for Gmapibuilder appears to be no longer available. Attempts to contact the original author have also failed.
Fortunately the source is BSD licensed. I still have the source (which I patched to convert .mdr and .mdx files as well), and would like to find a new permanent host for it. Are there any disadvantages to using Google Source, or is there a better place to host the code?
Sure, I can host it, either under mkmap.org(.uk) or any other domain name you like, and you can maintain it along with anyone else you agree to do so.
That would be great if you could host the Gmapibuilder script. (mkgmap.org.uk is fine: as others have pointed out, the script makes a number of assumptions which may make it unsuitable for non-mkgmap produced maps). I have attached a zip file of the python script (gmapi-builder.py) and a Mac OS disk image (Gmapibuilder.dmg) which contains the same script, but with a GUI added and bundled into a Mac application. (I have not yet extended the GUI version to add the .mdr and .mdx files.) Thanks very much!
