Data Visual Connector for Mapinfo - realtime mapping

[nikolay.gelsin]

I have did everything so far so good but when I press "Get direction" my Map Info 11.5.2 will crash..! pls help

Hi, in Mapinfo 11 it works fine for me.

Unfortunately, i don't have your version of mapinfo so I'm not able to check.

If 11.5.2 doesnot have so major improvements which you really need, maybe my advice to you will be to downgrade to 11.0 and try again.

Hope it will help.

Regards, Nikolay

Hello Nikolay !
I tried this DVC in Mapinfo8 and MI11, but no success...
I can started the Cassindev server, what appears ok in the taskbar.
But when I try to connect from Mapinfo I ger the error:
"The following error was issued while attempting to access the WMS server: The system cannot find the file specified..."

The computer is connected to the internet, normally ! :-)

I have the same error if I try to connect to the free http://www.osmgb.org.uk/osm-gb-wiki/index.php/WMS server.
From here i can download also the capabilities file:
http://www.osmgb.org.uk/ogc/wms?Vers...etCapabilities

But what to do with this file ? Where to place it ? Because this is missing from Mapinfo !

Can you try this osmbg in your computer ? It Works ?
Many Thanks !

Hi, Adika.

Actually, i saw this error message before. It appears usually, when CassiniDev is not started

Try to do following:

1. Shut down mapinfo
2. Start CassiniDev
3. Start mapinfo.
4. Add it to WMS.
5. Inform us about results

Thanks.

PS. OSM-GB is also working normally, but this is nothing to do with DVC, use it as usual WMS server. See below in the screenshot.

Dear friends,

DVC is working with Global Mapper just same good as with Mapinfo.

And this is not weird, because DVC is just another one way to get data from some WMS servers, so all GIS software, supporting WMS, will work with it.

Now I am gonna explain how to connect it to Global Mapper (I've got now v14).

1. Open File-> Download online imagery/topo/terrain maps.
2. Add New Source.
3. Select WMS in the dropdown menu.
4. Insert http://localhost:8089/ into 'Server URL' box.
5. Select the layer you're interesed in.
6. Ok
7. Ok
8. Connect.
9. you've done - corresposding layer will appear in the map window.

Hope it will be useful for someone.

Regards, Nikolay.

Hi ! After a reset, now is working also the opengb wms server and also the CassiniDev local server.
Finally I got googlemaps in Mapinfo11.
Many thanks Nikolay !

PS I do not have installed cyrillic language pack, and because of this I see in layer list a lot of "????????".
I will install russian support.
Then I will check if I can find a layer with DTM (digital terrain map), like SRTM

I would better change russian names of the layers in the plugins.file, so your guys won't suffer from this crazy language stuff.
I will also change the settings in the layers, so for instance name of cities will appear in English, not Russian.

Will upload it soon.

Thanks for feedback, adika.

Dear radio_network,

Kindly share the version of your Global mapper.

Hi friends,

I have finished adjusting the plugins description and now its in English.

All you need to do is to replace the file ../DVC/plugins.config with attached one.
config-file: Plugins.zip

Hope it will be helpful for someone.
