expor calibration information #234

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
What new or enhanced feature are you proposing?
It will be great if the export will also export the calibrated information 
files with map or gsi extension

What goal would this enhancement help you achieve?
Someone will be able to use these calibrated maps in some offline navigation 
tools like AFtrack or oziexplorer.

Can you be more descriptive? 
- what you mean by "calibrated information files"?

hello !

Please see here an example :
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Exporting_calibrated_maps
look at "Calibration file formats"
some of most used software is .map (Oziexplorer) and .gmi (GPSTuner) 

Thank you,
Catalin

We do not have calibration information, we download the map tiles alone no "raw 
OSM XML" is downloaded, and OpenStreetMap is the exception most of the maps do 
not even provide raw data.

This might be possible with OpenStreetMap data, but is not an easy task...

Yes indeed it is not an easy task. I suppose it is also specific to the 
provider of the maps. For google I would say there are APIs that should do this 
easier. As an example I have found this software 
http://gpstuner.com/5.4/download/index.html (map calibrator) thx!
