Hi !
Download one of the four .kmz above and import it in Basecamp. It is really funny !
Superimposed on trekmap Italia vector map, raster .kmz map shows a position shifting up to 100 m for roads or paths, due to a bad calibration. I understand now why those maps are free.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Compare for example the orange triangle ( .kmz raster map) and the red one inside (trekmap Italia). Map scale is 150 m !
I get also trouble creating french raster maps, but the worst position shifting does not overtake 40 m. French cartography must be better than Italian one.
