Maps
- -Online maps
-GPXSee supports most Web Mercator - based online maps out there, but the list of maps distributed with the official - packages is limited to those that are "freely distributable". You may however - easily override the default map list with your own list either by editing the - global map list file:
- --C:\Program Files\GPXSee\maps.txt # Windows -/usr/share/gpxsee/maps.txt # Linux -/Applications/GPXSee.app/Contents/Resources/maps.txt # OS X -- -
or by overriding it with a user map list file:
- --%HOMEPATH%\GPXSee\maps.txt # Windows -$HOME/.gpxsee/maps.txt # OS X & Linux -- -
The file format is one map entry per line, consisting of the map name and
- tiles URL delimited by a TAB character. The tile X and Y coordinates are
- replaced with $x and $y in the URL and the zoom
- level is replaced with $z. An example map file could look like:
-Map1 http://tile.server.com/map/$z/$x/$y.png -Map2 http://mapserver.org/map/$z-$x-$y -- -
Offline maps
-OziExplorer maps and TrekBuddy maps/atlases are supported by GPXSee. You may - easily create offline atlases from online map services by using - Mobile Atlas Creator (MOBAC).
- -Offline maps are loaded on program startup from the maps
- directory in the same locations as the maps.txt file. The expected
- structure is one map/atlas in a separate subdirectory. Supported map formats are
- OziExplorer maps and TrekBuddy maps/atlases (tared and non-tared).
- Supported map projections are Web Mercator, Transverse Mercator, UTM,
- Lambert Conformal Conic, Albers Equal Area and Latitude/Longitude. For list of
- supported datums see the datums.csv and ellipsoids.csv
- configuration files (can be modified or overriden by user files like the map
- list/map dir).
POI files
-All of the supported formats with waypoints capability - GPX, KML, TCX, NMEA - and Garmin CSV - - can be loaded either as data files or as POI files. When a file is opened as - a POI file, only waypoints reasonable near the tracks/waypoints of the loaded - data files are displayed.
- -To make GPXSee load a POI file automatically on startup, add the file to the
- POI directory in one of the configuration paths.
