Transparent Topo

I thinking of trying Transparent Topo while I wait for the water files to show up.  Topo that shows up on City Navigator, it would be cool to the see it in action.

I'm getting vitural memory errors at 1/3 of the way of loading the shapefiles in mapedit.  I have 2 Gigs physical.  6 Gigs vitural.  Error out at 2.5 G paged.  I have it at 40ft contours.

The directions for Combining say something about loading mp dem files?

My water files I request on christmas showed up today so hopefully yours did as well.

GPSMapEdit does a poor job of handling large files.  I would suggest converting each .shp file to an individual .mp file (or just 1gb at a time) then you can treat each .mp file as a separate  .img file; just change the header from Transparent=N to Y.

I convert the shp to mp files with GPSmapedit?

The water files showed up.  I requested a few this morning, I had them before noon.

yes gpsmapedit can convert them from shp to mp.

I'm going to try using MemTurbo and see if I can free up the physical memory for GPSmapedit.  It's good at pushing physical memory off to virtual cache way before it runs out of physical memory.
