+lazymannow Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Have a cruise vacation comming up and would like a map of the South Florida - Caribbean area (From the Internet), so that I can follow the route of the ship via gps. One that I can calibrate and use on a laptop Someone out there must have done this before ..... Quote Link to comment
+BigBirdNL Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Take a look at this site. It has a couple of maps, together with calibration file. The calibration file is for UIView, but can easily be used. It's an INF file, which is plain text. The first two lines will give you the topleft and bottomright corners coordinates. The format is DD.MM.mm (e.g 28.11.24N will be 28 degrees, 11.24 minutes North) Be aware also that N and S / E and W are used. E and S will give negative coordinates in some packages. This should be enough for calibrating it in the package you want to use. BigBird BTW you can use these UIView maps directly in CacheMaps, although this is of no use for your purpose...
