Maybe it is a stupid question but how did you manage to process the PHP on your webserver and have the content type of the output (I guess in .htaccess) set to “application/vnd.nokia.landmarkcollection+xml” so the Nokia phone can determine its type?

you can find or create landmarks at http://socialect.com and click on “send to nokia” which will download landmarks on lmx format.

I have an update: newer versions of Google Earth save out waypoints with xmlns:kml=”http://earth.google.com/kml/2.2″ , incremented from 2.1.

Additionally, you should search for //kml:Placemark as they do not always fall immediately below the kml:Document tag.

Otherwise, I have taken your kml_to_lmx.xsl and, with those minor modifications, used it to convert kml fresh from Google Earth into N95 waypoints with great success. Thanks for saving me a tonne of work!!

Hi,
Over at http://www.yourpinpoints.com you can search for an address on your computer and then send it to your Nokia ( N95 N82 N78 6210 etc) phone. The site sends the address in a format which is compatible with Nokia maps and Google maps.

This looks great but I have the same problem as others that the file downloaded is a “.php”. Could someone explain what I specifically need to do to fix this. I have this problem whether I click on the download file link OR scan the datamatrix using my N95…

Mini Tutorial

In the beginning I encountered the same problem like Suat.
It took me a lot of time to find out that this is not an application but a handling error.
To save people with the same problems this time I wrote a mini tutorial. It is based on the example wubbahed gave in his introduction.

1. Open the link to wubbaheds “custom map of restaurants and locations” in your browser –> Google maps opens up
2. Click the link “Link to this page” in Google Maps
3. Copy the link into the clipboard. In this example: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=105131228954528113132.0000011282baf4e8057cf&om=1&z=9
4. Paste the link into the field “URL for date feed” of wubbaheds form
5. DO NOT CLICK THE “UPDATE DATA MATRIX and URL” button yet!
6. Append “&output=kml” at the end of the URL. The result for this example is: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=105131228954528113132.0000011282baf4e8057cf&om=1&z=9&output=kml
7. Select “KML” as Feed Type
8. Click the “UPDATE DATA MATRIXand URL” button.
9. Now either cklick the link to download the LMX file to your PC or use your N95 camera to direcly get the landmarks into you phone

Thanks wubbahed for this innovative tool!
