I have been searching the internet for cheap &<br>> detailed maps. I have had little success. I took the decision to make my own<br>> maps. I have began compiling DVDs/CDs with map data taken from the US Gov<br>> GeoCover website https://zulu.ssc.nasa.gov/mrsid/mrsid.pl and openstreetmap xml<br>> data. i have then encoded it into geotiff tiles for use with memory map and<br>> other gps based software.<br>> <br>> Hi,<br>> <br>> I suggest to consider including OziExplorer .map calibration files on the<br>> CDs/DVDs, I suppose 4x4 folks use often Ozi. Best image formats for Ozi users<br>> are its own ozf3 format or ecw but both can be generated easily from Geotiffs.<br><br>i had considered using multiple formats but decided on geotiff and it seems to be compatible with most if not all navigation software.<br>in the UK most people use either memory map or garmins software. i will check ozi explorer in more detail.<br><br> <br /><hr />
