Encoding/Encryption Type (or is there an easier way?)
Posted: Wed Jul 18, 2012 10:38 am
Full disclaimer: I am not hacking anyone. This text file is easily found just by watching the headers and it is just to get the lat/long of my cities bus stops so I can make a simple app to plot some things for myself.
My city has a map of all the bus stops in the city using google maps, for example right here: http://soiduplaan.tallinn.ee/#bus/1a/a-b/21215-1/map/en
This has all the stops plotted on it with a little image. Now, I want to get the lat/long of these points on the map. I started digging through the headers when I load the map and I found this file: http://soiduplaan.tallinn.ee/data/talli ... bus_18.txt
That is just for 1 of the busses but thats a start. I thought I could decode that and maybe get the lat/long of the stops but I can't figure out what kind of encoding that would be. This isn't super-secret stuff so I cant imagine them using crazy encryption there but it isn't base64 and I don't know what other options there would be. Anyone have any idea?
Also, maybe I am doing this the wrong way? Is there any way to listen in on where the images are placed on a google map to extract the lat/long and the title that goes on that image when clicked?
