Mapping programs

MAPC2MAPC

MAPC2MAPC is a program to calibrate maps and convert calibration files for digital maps from one format to another. Will read and write  MAP (Ozi), JPR (Memory-map, Fugawi), GMI (GPSTuner),  MCD (GPSMAPOS, GPSGO), CAL (Pathaway), TFW (Mapyx/Quo). Will also read GUX (GPSU) and IMP(CompeGPS). Will handle different input datums but always writes WGS84. Will also write the calibrated map as 'tiles' for Trekbuddy or Garmin Custom Maps. Calibrated maps can be rescaled or cropped whilst preserving the calibration. Calibrated maps may be merged or joined together. There is a description of things it can do here and more technical information in the readme file. Download it here. Unpack the Zip file and run the setup.exe  Latest version is 2.2.3 (7 February 2010). The package now contains a full set of datums from GPSU (www.gpsu.co.uk) The software is provided 'as is' without warranty. It is free to download and use for personal or commercial purposes. Note that this program only converts calibration files that are held alongside image files - it will not convert maps in a proprietory format such as Memory-map's .qct files : but OziMapTrans may do what you want.

XF2TRL

XF2TRL is a program that converts Maptech RXF (route) and TXF (track) files to the TRL files used by GPSGO and GPSMAPOS. And converts the the TRL files back to TXF. The RXF and TXF files are a common interchange format - but if you can't handle them directly then download a copy of GPSU which will convert almost all formats. XF2TRL writes the output file with the same name and in the same directory as the input (so 'abc.txf' creates 'abc.trl'). If the location of the data is in the UK then the files are in GPSMAPOS format, otherwise in GPSGO format. Download it here. Unpack the Zip file and run the setup.exe The software is provided 'as is' without warranty. It is free to download and use for personal or commercial purposes. Please provide feedback in the Craporola Forums Verision 1.02 fixes problems if the locale uses the comma(,) as a decimal separator. Version 1.03 (March 2009) also converts PTS (points) files to and from MXF (maptech marks).
