    .kml > .gpx conversion issue

    That is kind of strange what is happening. I fixed the file for you so here it is. I just don't have a good answer on why this is happened. I am going to have to play this it a little more. Tim

    Make Sense of all this for me ?

    Oziexplorer will do everything that you want in the manipulation of routes and running a GPS puck. There are free plug-ins that you can download, which are provided by Oziexplorer, that allow you to download and cache Google, Openstreet and Bing maps in vector, hybrid or satellite format onto...

    Make Sense of all this for me ?

    You can download all Canada Topo maps from Natural Resources Canada website or if you have ftp software and a few tera bytes to spare you can download all the topo maps from their FTP site. As for the software you need one that will allow you to add the map and assign its place in space. Two...

    Favorite GPS Hardware and Software?

    Mounted eepc with a GlobalSat BU-353 receiver running OziExplorer and a Delorme PN-40 for backup and out of vehicle scooting. For maps I use the teraserver plug-in for ozi along with scanned historic maps. For satellite images, I use GoogleOzi software then I use Ozi’s map merge software...

    Question for GIS people

    This makes sense on the issue being an imprecise map. This I can do and will give it a try. Thanks

    Question for GIS people

    Geographic coordinates based on a different datum (and spheroid/ellipsoid) then the one used to obtain the original coordinates. Or, when one converts NAD 27 to WGS 84.

    Question for GIS people

    I would like to see that georef file if you don't mind. I would like to see how far I am off with your projections. I am still new with GIS and I still like to compare results. -Tim

    Question for GIS people

    I will give this a try. I have a map that is from the 1910 census for the state that will work for this attempt. It is roughly the same size and I do have the projections and the datum shift programed into Ozi already. It will be very easy to move things around to make it work Tim

    Question for GIS people

    Ozi can read georef files. Looking at what you have laid out is the same results I ended up getting when bringing in the map to Ozi. Importing the map is not the issue. The issue is I need to create some sort of datum in order to use the map with moving maps and a GPS system and I am aware that...

    Question for GIS people

    This map is from my personal collection and I had it scanned at a place that has a deck scanner large enough for maps. So there is no tfw for the file. The only other place that has this map is the Univeristy of Reno and no one has georef the map yet. If this map peaks your interests, I also...

    Question for GIS people

    Click here to download the map in tiff format. sheet 54 x 59 cm; Scale: [ca: 1:950, 400] (W120°00-W114°00/N40°00--N36°00) Rubber sheeting would work. I already used 9 calibration points for the map. I know that you can add many more if you edit the map file directly. I will have to give...

    Question for GIS people

    Your right, I did not explan it to well. Re-reading the question it almost sounds like I could not import the map as opposed to creating a custom datum to use with the map. Playing with the map I can see what the GIS pro was saying, I can see the distortion in the map at a few levels. I really...

    Question for GIS people

    Should of read my emails first. A member of OGC is going to take a look at the map. I loaded it into GRASS GIS and it was sent to him with a pretty pink bow. He said from my description it sounds like the map is using multiple projections and I might have to split the map into three parts in...

    Question for GIS people

    Thank you for the reply. The issue with using another map is this map nearly takes up the whole state of Nevada. This brings to light the issue when this map was created geodesy still was only able to determine the datum for a relatively small area for the local origin on the surface. Maps that...

    Question for GIS people

    I have a map that I am importing into Oziexplorer and I am having a few issues with the Datum Shift. The map was published in 1905 and it does not have a Map Projection. I do have a Lat/Long grid and a distance scale on the map. Because of the year of the map, I don't have any clear reference on...

    Storing Google Earth Cache Data?

    You might need to increase the cache by going to Tools->Options and select the “Cache” tab. You can make the cache size up to 2000 MB. If this still does not give you the cached information you are looking for, you need to look at which layers you have open. Remember, that every Google layer...

    Need a picture of a 05-09 Taco ABS wire

    Hope this is the one I am assuming that this is the connector that you are talking about. It is located across from the oil filter near the power distribution box. It is a gray connector that has only two wires running through it. Note: Just so you know, this is a connector for a truck that...

    Feedback on Mapping/GPS setup for Expedition Travel

    Yes they do. The active subscription has the lo-res but the purchased DVD's have the hi-res. That is why active subscription is $30 and the DVD's are $99. Tim
