+PDOP's Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 Just in case there's someone else out there using this combination, I received the following info from FUGAWI about which map projection to use when calibrating the Toporama GIFs in FUGAWI quote:...You should use the Equidistant Cylindrical projection to calibrate the map that you have attached.

+Olar Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 Thanks PDOP's. I've never had occasion to download Toporama maps but I will certainly have a look at them soon. I see their service is unavailable until end of February. What kind of scale and detail to they offer? Cheers, Olar "You are only young once but you can stay immature forever" Quote Link to comment
+PDOP's Posted February 11, 2003 Author Share Posted February 11, 2003 Hi Olar Actually they're still there but just making themselves hard to get to (does this sound like the government ) Ust this URL The toporama maps are derived from the same data as regular topomaps but have less detail. Some other features like elevations of the contour lines are also missing but the price is right. The existing website is not to intuitive when it comes to downloading the maps. Once you've located the map sheet you're interested in right click on the images and select save as. There are other threads about Toporama if you're inertested in learning more Quote Link to comment
+PDOP's Posted March 17, 2003 Author Share Posted March 17, 2003 Users of Toporama maps will be glad to hear that a program is being developed to automatically calibrate Toporama maps for use in Fugawi. DRG Map Cal shows this as being worked on for a furure release. PDOP's GPS Pages Quote Link to comment

The 1:50,000 maps are here: http://toporama.cits.rncan.gc.ca/images/b50k/ and the 1:250,000 maps are here: http://toporama.cits.rncan.gc.ca/images/b250k/. I've downloaded all the maps (>2GB worth) and I am working (very slowly) on my own webinterface for them. Adi Quote Link to comment
