AlpineQuest & OfflineMaps

Have a look a libremap.org There are 1:24000 Topo maps there. MAPC2MAPC will convert to AQM very easily. If the map is California then you need to open the TFW and scroll down to the Libre California grid for other state, you need the UTM zone and NAD83 datum

There is a first attempt at a viewer here http://www.the-thorns.org.uk/net/aqm2mobat.zip
Runs under Windows .NET.
All feedback welcome!

I've been looking at this, and I think it is possible. If a program were to create an image (png or jpg) for each zoom level would you want a calibration file for it as well (.MAP, .TFW etc) and, if so, which type?

Two things would be straightforward : conversion to a KMZ file that could be viewed on Google Earth or conversion to a Mobile Atlas Tile store that could be used with Mobile Atlas Creator - viewed and/or converted to other formats (including OZI MAP&PNG). I could write either of these if there w...

a translator for Ozi map

That's one of the things MAPC2MAPC does.

Load a map then File>Write Mobile Atlas and choose Alpinequest *.AQM from the list of formats

These maps are not quite at the same scale. If (and it's a big if) MyTrails is matching pixel to pixel but AlpineQuest is not then that would account for the difference.

There was a bug in MAPC2MAPC which made AlpineQuest maps fail in countries that use the comma (,) as the decimal point. This has been fixed in version 460. This version will also handle some much bigger maps.

You don't need to buy MAPC2MAPC to try it. An unregistered download does everything : it just puts red Xs across any map images. A registration key then stops the red Xs.

This version of MAPC2MAPC now live : http://www.the-thorns.org.uk/mapping/

Please give me feedback, positive or negative - but not about the price, this supplements my pension!

Looking at the other posts in the forum, here is some more information about MAPC2MAPC :- It supports a variety of different datums and you can add custom coordinates as long as they are Transverse Mercator, Lambert Conformal Conic or Albers. The British, French, Swiss and Irish grids are built in a...

Runs on an Orange San Francisco (ZTE Blade) Android 2.1. For 99 British Pounds must be the cheapest GPS!

I've made a small test map here : http://www.sendspace.com/file/bl8fkb

It is the NE corner of Tenerife taken from the free Spanish CNIG mapping. I have also included a GPX file which should fit the footpath from Chamorga to the lighthouse (Faro) reasonably well - can someone check it, please?

I am the developer of MAPC2MAPC (http://www.the-thorns.org.uk/mapping).

I plan to add output to AQM for this program before the end of June 2011.

This will allow use of many calibrated maps (OZI and others) or self-scanned maps can be calibrated.
