H jcr83,
Thanks for joining us Downunder and assisting.
I haven't converted any maps, nor do I have a TomTom, however ttMaps is a fantastic development and you deserve our unreserved thanks wholehearted support.
Converting ttMaps maps is clearly not easy. Many in Australia use OziExplorer or OziCE. In Australia 25k, 50k, 100k, 250k and a whole heap of specialised raster mapping is readily available calibrated for Ozi, both free and commercial in either ecw or Ozi format or both. There are probably thousands of ready to go Ozi calibrated maps.
Ozi Explorer has excellent map calibration capabilities, and the calibration data is preserved in a simple text file; not embedded in the ecw.
Which leads to my simple question?
Would it not be better to organise the ttMap calibration data in a text file, something similar to the Ozi .map file. This would provide for a simple conversion procedure? It would enable anyone with a paper map to scan it, calibrate it in Ozi, and load it into ttMaps. Easy peasy.
