I using same zoom on several maps mainly as workaround to overcome 2GB limitation. But it would help, if it is possible to define multiple TAR files as merged one zoom level in map.

Hello,

I made quite big map, divided into 7 TAR maps. Zoom of this map is 16. After loading these maps into Locus, map manager shows there are zooms
16, 17, 18, 19, 20. I understand that loading multiple maps of same zoom, results in different zooms in locus. But in my case, there is only 5 TAR files loaded (not 7).

Is there any limitation of maximal zoom ?
Where is location, that is used to determine zoom of TAR map ?
Is there any other limitation of loading TAR maps (beside 2GB file limit) ?

Thanks for answers.

[Is there any way, how load multiple parts of one source zoom TAR map correctly ? If there is no solution, please add such feature to Locus.]

Hello,

I noticed bug/feature when loading TAR files and then zooming them. I have my maps in following file structure:

Code Select Expand

Locus/maps/mymap/
          level13.tar        //source zoom level 13, whole area
          level14.tar        //source zoom level 14, whole area
      level15p0.tar //source zoom level 15, part of area
      level15p1.tar //source zoom level 15, part of area
      level15p2.tar //source zoom level 15, part of area
      level15p3.tar //source zoom level 15, part of areaI load Locus with this structure. Locus creates zoom level for each tar, regardless I have splitted map of my whole area in zoom 15 (this is because of 2GB limit for one TAR).So, I see zooms 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 in map manager. In map view, I dont get merged parts of zoom 15 and I get each level15*.tar in different zoom (level15p0 alone as zoom 15,level15p1 as zoom 16, etc.)

Is there any way, how load multiple parts of one source zoom TAR map correctly ? If there is no solution, please add such feature to Locus.

I noticed that some posts in CZ/SK section mentioning this problem, but I want to describe problem more in detail and make it more accessible to international users.

Thanks for solution

Hello,
I am trying to convert downloaded oziExplorer maps to sqlite format.OziExplorer maps (.png+.map) are huge (32Kx32K).
Because of size of maps it is impossible to use tools for converting to sqllite - MAPC2MAPC, GlobalMapper.
So I tried to split those maps or convert to another format, which have image tiles.
I tried programs GPSMapEdit, TBCutter, OZiMapToKMZ, MapSplit, but all of them fail because of memory. I can do some operations with .png image file, like convert to another format, or split this image through ImageMagicK. But splitting only .png file, without making .map calibration files for splitted parts breaks calibration of map.
So I looking for some tool. that can split these big maps with calibration files or directy convert to locus supported format somehow.
Do you have any tips ?

Prefering tools, that can be used in batch. Im using Windows 7 x64.
