..assuming you have an application installed on your PC that handles gzip... I know the latest WinZIP does.

It's faster to FTP the .gz file up to your server and extract it there though.

yeah but thats only if you have ssh... which i doubt he does since he cant get this going.....

You're probably correct. ;)

its way easier thats how i do most of my work.... ReadOrDie you have winrar??? cause he may not be able to extract it or something... can you open the file up????

I'm sorry if this issue has already been addressed, I skimmed the whole thread and didn't see too much discussion on it:

If I replace the map image files with a map of my demographic region, and name them all the same, will this hack still work?

I really like this hack, but don't want the whole world. Just the New England region. If replacing the image is not an option, is there any other way to get this done? It would be a huge marketing step for my site, since we would be able to see areas of New England that we need to concentrate on advertising in.

Thanks

No, it won't work. It would require modifications to work with different maps.

Can someone please post careful directions? I have winrar but I don't know what to do. How do I extract the file?

as posted before its really not that hard lol open that thing up(the rar) and drag the file out to your desktop and then upload the file inside.....

If anyone could make it possible, please let me know what compensation you would like. I do want to use this hack with a New England Map. States including: Connecticut, Rhode Island, Mass, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. PM me if you can make this possible. Thanks.

Ok now I only get one error:

I "extracted" the .dat file, but there's a possibility I didn't do it right. If anyone would like to post the attachment or help me fix me error that'd be nice. Thanks.
