This is a program to manipulate digital (raster) maps and their calibrations. It is not designed to handle vector maps nor to handle encrypted images. See a list of features here.

The basic flow of the program is to load a map either from an existing calibration file or by calibrating an image; optionally to change the map using the edit functions then to write the map and/or calibration in a choice of formats. See the beginners' guide.

A separate function merges maps that are already calibrated.

It is possible to print a map onto A4 pages.

There is also a batch function that will convert calibration files or warp maps with no user interaction.

This software uses the FreeImage open source image library. See http://freeimage.sourceforge.net for details.
FreeImage is used under the  FIPL, version (1.0).

The file of Datums is by kind permission of Alan Murphy, author of GPSU (www.gpsu.co.uk) - a program that is recommended for managing tracks and routes and interfacing with GPS units.

Thanks, also for DotZLib class library, a managed wrapper for the ZLIB.DLL compression library. Created by Alessandro Del Sole, 2008 and SQLITE for VB.NET http://sqlite.phxsoftware.com/

A missing Microsoft module can generate a misleading 'dll not found' error for SQLITE and/or FREEIMAGE.
