Hema 2012 collection

**Downunder35m** · 04-03-13, 01:50 AM

I converted the Hema 2012 collection to ECW and the old OZI OZFX3 (unprotected) format.
Files are unmodified in terms of map collar or image manipulations.
For the PNG files all vital infos in the form of projection and other support files are included, allowing easy use or converting into other formats.

The Ozi files have been created from PNG files using the old 3.03 version of the image tool.
These files should be usable for all programs that support the Ozi format.
Since no prtotection is used in the old version you can modify the files with any supporting software.

All files are Lat/Long based so some maps my seem to be a bit distorted.
That is not a converting fault but the way the files came.
Instead of using the map datum of the paper source Hema used the coordinate grid for the calibration.
I could not convert the topo maps as they are in a protected format that I could not convert (yet

).
But since topographic data usually does not change much I think the topo maps from older versions are still good enough if you don't have other alternatives at hand.
You can also download the elevation data manually to create realistic 3D maps as supported in Ozi2D for example.

Overview of the included maps:

Download the PNG collection or use the version.

Do I need a licence or serial number for these? If so, where can I obtain one?

Thanks, Bondy99

**Downunder35m** · 08-04-13, 10:59 AM

The maps are not protected and work with any program that supports the format.

Hi Downunder,

Thanks for the uploads, would it be possible at all to get the Hema .ecw files uploaded?

**Downunder35m** · 08-05-13, 05:54 PM

You can convert them from the PNG using free mapping tools, like GDAL, or better Global Mapper.

**rooster2** · 08-05-13, 06:13 PM

Thanks Downunder, I am using an unregistered version of Global Mapper, it loads the .png files up fine, but I think I need the two week trial licence to allow me to export...

**Downunder35m** · 08-05-13, 09:51 PM

Just do a check for the full version, Google wiil find the V12 and V13 easily, the V14 most likely only over torrents.

**rooster2** · 09-05-13, 09:40 AM

Thanks, works a treat now...

**DWC** · 09-05-13, 01:24 PM

Is this the FULL map collection?
I would like the Barrington Tops Hema map if you have it.
Cheers

Dave

Excuse the simpleton question, do I need a usernet account to down load these. I tried from my phone (where I will use the maps) and well the website isn't very mobile friendly.
