I posted a new topo map for part of New England: Maine, Mass, Vermont, New Hampshire
Let me know what you think:    http://www.gameandfishnetwork.com/News/article/sid=15.html

I have now all the data for MA,ME,NH, and VT. I guess I will add RI to get all the New England states.
What is the best way to release these maps?

I could build a single map but that would create a huge file.

I can create multiple maps but what is the best way to do it so I can switch from one map to another on my GPS. Too bad our ancestors did not design straight lines for state borders!

Any ideas on what could cause that error? I am trying to build a combined map (MA/VT/NH) and I get those errors in the middle of the map. I am missing 4 or 5 rectangles. All the other MP files seem good.

I build the GNIS file for Vermont with the topo_process but when I try to load the gnis.shp file into GM I get:

Shape file does not contain projection information. Please select the projection/datum ...

Any idea?

I am getting this error while generating the .img file using the topo_process:

Error E024: Top layer detail level too high to cover entire map - decrease detail level of the less detailed layer (use higher level #)

Do you know what is wrong? I cannot find the problem immediately.

A New Hampshire topo map is available for download at http://www.gameandfishnetwork.com/Content/pid=5.html

Here is the error message:

error getting country: Unknown column 'abr' in 'where clause'

I am making progress on my Maine topo map but all the data files are too big to load in Global Mapper (ran out of memory). I could easily split the map North/South but what is the best way to do it? Should I overlap the two parts? Any other comments/tricks I could use.

It looks like the USGS server is down. I have been trying to download the elevation data for Maine, but now it returns an error for each URL I send. It worked OK a couple of days ago.

I have finished the first release of the Massachusetts topo map here: here. Big thanks to -Oz-
Let me know what you think.

I am not really good with DOS bat script files, but I do not think transcode.bat does what the documentation says. I think the delims= parameter should be "delims=," to match the example in the tutorial.

Anyway, even with the change above, I process only the first MP file. I think I am going to rewrite it using a real shell script. I am not a big .bat guru.

Any ideas how to debug this one:

../MA/MAtopo01_A1.MP(139931) : Error E038: Type of element cannot be 0.

As I said yesterday, I am working on a MA topo map. Everything is fine except for the water. My waterbody (lakes, ponds, etc) are not colored. I just get the contours. I just regenerated my waterbody.shp file just to make sure I did not make any mistake.
Any ideas?
