Search and Rescue Grid Overlay

[Bob Denny]

I have a KMZ with the search and rescue grid system in it. See the image below, showing a little bit of the grid in Arizona. Importing it results in 14000+ points and 8000+ tracks (!!). Not practical. Can anyone think of a way I could overlay this grid system in Locus?

please can you attach the kmz?

Yes, only way for advice.

Is it a kmz with a network link in it?

Here is the KMZ. It is quite crude, many points and tracks. Who had the patience to make it??

This complex file has really too much lines and points. Maybe would be possible to rasterize KML file and then create tiled sqlite or mbtile map (I have no experiences with it). Anyway have a look:
gdal_rasterize - http://www.gdal.org/gdal_rasterize.html
gdal2tiles - https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/UserDocs/Gdal2Tiles

Would be also probably possible to convert data into Vector mapsforge map format. It depends if you want to only see the grid over the map or if you want to be able to select points.

The smallest effort is to split to 6 areas (see attachment), copy to items
and tune Locus (and the cfg)

...but i see no proper solution for this.

Thank you everyone, I suspected this wasn't suitable for locus. I appreciate your trying.
