Importing .gif maps plus calibration file with overlay

I don`t quite understand.

Your file is a *.gif

and this gif should be a overlay later - on a basic map?

I have a topographic map in .gif and it`s calibration file. I want to know to which format should I convert them in order to use it in Locus allowing overlay

Hi Hugo,

Locus currently do not support some re-rasterization of maps on the fly. So you have to have maps in format same as stored in SQLite, GEMF or MBT format. SQLite format is one used by locus as a general format, also for storing online maps and downloading. So I suggest to convert into this.

That`s how I managed to use them in Locus in the first place, using OruxMapsDesktop with the Sqliteformat checkbox selected. The problem is that it doesn`t support overlaying in Locus. It`s a problem of the format? Will any of the other two formats that you mentioned support overlay?

Thank you

Hi Hugo

First be sure the zoomlevels are in both maps available.

if this not help - please upload an example of your OruxMaps Sqliteformat map and tell us the weblink..

I don`t even have to chose a second one. Having that one as the currently one and going to the overlay screen will say right away under base map "Allow overlay: No".

Link to both the converted maps and the original gif + calibration file:

Thanks for you effort

SQLite format used by orux is not same as use locus itself. orux format contain also calibration file so there is no fixed projection. This format cannot be used as overlay for now

any available format that can copy with this?

forget orux ;)

I use MAPC2MAPCNET to concvert this to a better Locus readable format.

testversion: http://www.the-thorns.org.uk/mapping/...

your (demo)map: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rqeybriafz7...

perfect perfect perfect THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!

ok fine.

so demo map is deleted now..

can you give me some directions on MAPC2MAPCNET? I`ve loaded the file, but I see no export option...

nevermind, I diged in locus help

thank you again for pointing me the right direction

file -> write atlas -> locus
