Raster Maps

Ok, haven't done this myself but here you can find the tools and How to.

For NNGraster there is a link that actually works under "Collecting the software" in the How to. The other link provided for SASPlanet doesn't work, so use the one I provided above and you get access to zipped files that work (no need to install).

As I said before, I haven't done this myself, but was wondering if you can use raster maps alone in a country where you cannot find the .fbl map. Will IGO work with rasters alone? I guess the fbl file contains other data that maybe important for routing, right?

If someone needs a raster map for the Greek island of Cephalonia (Κεφαλλονιά), You can download it from here:

Google sat, 18x zoom, HQ, was used. The raster map for the whole island is divided into three parts: North, Central and South. All three pieces are need to unpack and insert into the iGO/content/raster.

Enjoy!

I seem to have necessary files in license folder but my raster folder is not read by Igo primo. But sorry I don't how to open your license file, help please!

Hello...
first in "iGO/content/raster" put your raster maps...
from settings -> map settings - can you enabled...
about the licenses can you click on it.. and see the content that unlock...

Great work.... I'm using rastermaps in my hometown.... Created by myself.... Spending a lot of time :damnpc:

But i love the autentic look of iGo :)))



In my (little) hometown there are no 3D buildings and no landmarks created.

With rastermaps I am able to see buildings instead of unicolor areas :buu:


Here some screenshots..... with and without rastermaps....... what i'm talking about

There wont be rastermaps for whole country, skiib.

1. At this time no one is done that...... Maybe some cities or landscapes
2. They will need to much storage...... iGo is not able to handle extHD




The only way to have rastermaps for your region ------> U do it by yourself.... like i do :damnpc:

on this page you will find all nesessery progs and a good tutorial.... that even i've been able to understand :bang:

TIP: i have to add some offset to fit the raster with our iGo maps
instead grabbing the file from 16.75 to 17.00.... i set it 16.74995 to 16.9995..... or something like that
the same for the high.......... but i dont remember the exactly numbers....... i've done it a while ago :beating:

2.TIP: the settings must be 2x2 Raster Quality HQ 18???? i think 18bit color............. in other way the file become too big and iGo isn't able to handle them
Its a compromise between good looking and an acceptable loading time...... doest help have highquality rastermaps when igo is taking to long loading them

Rastermaps also helps U to find your destination

I've discovered the answer now. To get "S" I need to place a "-" before the number. Still having problems though.

Anyone interested in doing a raster of Napier and Hastings in New Zealand for me? Thanks.

Hello dented,

For Napier and Hastings in New Zealand, you will need four segments. If you use individual segments, it has advantages. You can better manage a territory. And also you can better expand areas with individual segments.
The input to your area looks like this:

S39,375 --> S39,500
E176,750 --> E176,875
+
S39,375 --> S39,500
E176,875 --> E177,000
+
S39,500 --> S39,625
E176,750 --> E176,875
+
S39,500 --> S39,625
E176,875 --> E177,000

At the moment I can not download Google satellite maps via SAS.
But maybe it works for you. Excuse me for my English, but I hope it helps.
