USING SCANNED SURVEYORS' MAP PANELS
Posted: Wed Aug 26, 2015 9:20 pm
I am part of a group of older men involved in an ongoing project involving a Scout Camp they attended when they were boys, providing historic and contemporary maps of the camp, on paper and in mobile phones. Only one of us (not me) has had professional computer experience. But we have been able to learn just enough as we go along to sustain the project.
In other words, my questions do not concern a commercial project, and the questions themselves will readily reveal a very superficial knowledge of the subject.
I have 42 large panels drafted by professional surveyors in 1962 (five feet contour interval and 1:1200 scale) which are contiguous and when assembled show the 12,360 acre reservation on which the various campsites for the larger camp are located. The panels have been scanned but not georeferenced (i.e., calibrated?). Our intention, if feasible, is to eventually provide a single map of the whole reservation usable on a mobile phone, with interactive features, particularly the ability to zoom in on individual campsites.
This suggests using AlpineQuest for the mobile phone.
Can MAPC2MAPC be used to (1) Georeference the scanned panels; (2) Format the panels for AlpineQuest; (3) Assemble the panels to produce a single map of the whole reservation; and (4) produce zoomable layers to show individual campsites? We are prepared to draw the campsites on the appropriate scanned panels where necessary before processing,
