Hi Boyd,
Yes, that’s half of the World map, and there’s another half to complete it.
I assume they are hosted here to be downloaded, and used on a Garmin GPS,
so what’s the difference if I use it on my own GPS?
Someone else might use it with Cgpsmapper since I believe that has a positioning function if you have a GPS mouse connected to a laptop.
Hi popej,
I wish I’d known earlier
I don’t think it’s going to matter in future. I wouldn’t want to do this to any detail map.
Just the World map is not intended to be zoomed into detail.
It probably would have been better though. There’s no brains behind skipping ever x number of points,
but for a world map at very high zoom, I don’t think any difference would be perceived.
Back to the other thing...
I would like to distribute a few sample map tiles in future, but I’m far from that stage yet.
I’d like to get in touch with “RoboMatt” who made the Garmin Yosemite too hosted here.
I’m only talking about a small tile cut out of that, have either of you any way to contact him?
I couldn’t see any posts here for that name.
This world map, I’m not satisfied to stick with that data for any future stuff.
If it came to it I’d trace from a world map to get a single clean line around
continents because the screen is so small.
If or when it does come to distribution of any of my software, sample tiles would be nice,
but aren’t required.
The program that I used to simplify the world map is the same that does the pre-process for my GPS.
The user could do that themselves.
Cheers, Brek.
