I have two British waterways maps from waterways routes which I can not persuade to display. Has anyone hd any success with these maps.There is a free sample at the link below.

http://www.waterwayroutes.co.uk/wr/wr_4 ... canals.qct

Both of the maps I have display correctly in MM Tracker but I would much prefer to use AlpineQuest.

Thanks in advance for any help

Hi,
I have tested the file and have actually seen that it was correctly loaded and displayed in AlpineQuest.
The problem however, is that this QCT map doesn't have any bounds (outline), and AlpineQuest fail to slide the view over a covered area. You will have to manually slide the view over a covered area before or after loading the map.
You can look at some covered coordinates on my screenshot displaying this QCT map loaded (use the search feature of AlpineQuest to go to these Osgb coordinates).
I would be interested to know if MM is capable of automatically displaying a covered area.
I will make AlpineQuest to display a message to warn the user in such cases.
Best regards

Thanks for that. Works as advertized. :P

I`ve only had MM Tracker for a short while but it seems that you can only load the one image at a time. It loads and displays these files without any problem. I still prefer Alpinequest for all the other fuctionality it provides.

:P
