Hi Klokan and Chris,<br><br> Thanks for your replys. I had a feeling, that it had to do with setting up the env. variables properly from within the script. I will have a closer look at MapTiler, which looks great, and try to figure things out! The application I am doing is designed for surveyors who want to locate benchmarks while doing field work.<br>

Hi Simon and others,<br>
<br>
I am successfully bundling GDAL 1.6 from OSGeo4W in my MapTiler<br>
application - with py2exe, GDAL 1.6, wxPython, InnoSetup combination<br>
under Windows.<br>
<br>
MapTiler is a multi-platform user-friendly graphical application based<br>
on my GDAL2Tiles utility and targeted to end-users and newbies in<br>
open-source GIS world - it has a step by step wizard GUI which looks<br>
like this: <a href="http://mac.softpedia.com/progScreenshots/MapTiler-Screenshot-52156.html" target="_blank">http://mac.softpedia.com/progScreenshots/MapTiler-Screenshot-52156.html</a><br>
(somebody already published screenshots ;-)).<br>
It runs on Windows, Mac and on Linux.<br>
More info at: <a href="http://www.maptiler.org/" target="_blank">http://www.maptiler.org/</a>.<br>
<br>
I made a presentation about it: <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/1766572" target="_blank">http://www.vimeo.com/1766572</a><br>
<br>
You can get the source code from SVN at:<br>
<a href="http://code.google.com/p/maptiler/" target="_blank">http://code.google.com/p/maptiler/</a><br>
<br>
The software is in Alpha version now, with known bugs and limitation,<br>
but already quite usable. I plan to commit changes I did in GDAL2Tiles<br>
back into GDAL SVN...<br>
<br>
Ad system variables: I am setting up GDAL_DATA and other variables in<br>
the beginning of the python program (maptiler.py file), before loading<br>
GDAL modules - with autodetection of the operating system and a bit of<br>
hacking for py2exe.<br>
<br>
Is GDAL community interested in supporting further development of<br>
GDAL2Tiles and MapTiler during this Google Summer of Code?<br>
Because I am still PhD candidate at Czech Technical University in<br>
Prague I can participate as a student again...<br>
I proposed the project (no.5.) related to GDAL2Tiles/MapTiler at:<br>
<a href="http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/SummerOfCode" target="_blank">http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/SummerOfCode</a><br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>
Klokan<br>
