On my Memory-Map iPad app I have an excellent map called OS Streetview - Great Britain.

How can I get that for my PC Memory-Map European Edition please?

If you have a version of MM that doesn't support DMS then see:

Yeah, this worked fine for me.
I merged the individual .qct files, into 6 large (3 to 4Gb) files for use in MemoryMap.
Just one snag: the Search now scales into this map every time!

Dales.

Thanks but can you assume total ignorance on my part about this please! Where are the OS Street View QCT files I need for my desktop? What is DMS? Exactly what steps do I take?

terrypin,

Open the Memory-Map European Edition software and open a base map such as the 1:250K Road Atlas.
Scroll to the area you want to download in Streetview mapping, and use the route tool to draw around the area.
Right click on a route leg and select DIGITAL MAP SHOP > OS STREETVIEW > CONTINUE and the Streetview mapping will download for that selected area.

Thanks

Thanks Jason, I'll try that shortly.

Jason,

Just to let you know that worked fine thanks.

Is there any fix or work-around to the snag that dale mentioned up-thread, namely that any search in an area that has OS Street View coverage results in the view zooming to Street View, regardless of what map you were in at the time you made the search?

Hi Terry,

In short: NO. :(

A longer answer is that I think it must be buried deep in the software. It's been non-optimum, particularly in the UK, for so long now (previously it was the Aerial Photography that jumped in, unless you had an enormously expensive area of 1:25k mapping) that I can't understand why it isn't at least an option.

Or maybe the developers (in the USA) just totally ignore the UK wishlist. :o

Cheers, Alan.

Thanks Alan, understood.

One other point if I may please. Since downloading 20 minutes or so of OS Street view (just a start), the only file I seem to have on my HD is
C:\Maps_v5\DMS\GB\dms_gb_ossv_gb.qct
which is apparently a mere 18 KB in size. Surely that can't be right?

Hi Terry,

The actual map data should be in a .QC3 file with the same name and in the same folder. It can get up to over 10GB (assuming you have an NTFS filing system) for the whole GB map. With these DMS maps, the .QCT file seems to stay of fixed size and contains the basic map calibration data, etc..

As before, there may also be .QED and .MMI files if the data is available for the map (there's another thread on creating a special .MMI file with full Streetnames and/or Postcodes).

Cheers, Alan.
