Map: Height Maps

[dmnt]

Good news, everyone!

I recently did a change so that whenever you place the grid on the map the URL on your browser location bar changes and is copy/paste compliant. What's even better is that it doesn't break the old url scheme but redirects to the new one.

The URL is now like http://www.venhola.com/maps/geo.php#...780275752547,5

where the first value in the comma separated list after hash sign (in this example 24.87101620780233,60.22780275752547,5) is longitude, second one is latitude and last one is rotation (in degrees).

The link providing "L" button still gives out the old URL format but as explained above, is turned into this new user friendly format. Enjoy, folks!

The link I use is
http://www.venhola.com/maps/

and it brings me to the
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Input coordinates in WGS84

Latitude (decimal, negative = southern hemisphere)
0.0
Longitude (decimal, negative = western hemisphere)
0.0
Rotation (degrees)
0
Go!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
screen and it still functions normally for me and it seemns a bit easier for anyone to see the coordinates to enter

BTW... it was your program that inspired the changes you will see to the load map screens for next patch..

A problem has developed. I tried to generate a map this morning and got an error message. I thought perhaps it was because I was using my original link but I just tried the one you provided in post 131 and the same message appears

Something went wrong, return value 2. Process returned:
Can't locate JSON.pm in @INC (you may need to install the JSON module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.22.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.22.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.22 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.22 /usr/share/perl/5.22 /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base .) at contour.pl line 9.

What is ........" the JSON module " ?

Looks like I forgot to install the required modules on the Google api script. It is lacking the JSON data format handling module on the new server and can't download the contours.

I'll try to fix it right now.

Should be fixed now.

Seems like I'm having a problem downloading the .dat file. I get an error message "spmap.999.dat couldn't be downloaded". I've tried to open it in explorer as well as Edge and get the same error. It saves to my download as an IE icon file but won't open. Any ideas?
