Hello,

since 2013 there are very good http://www.maanmittauslaitos.fi/en/file_download_service">Finnish Maps available for free, TIFFs with .tfw and .tab-Files, for the whole country.



OruxMapsDesktop.jar returns an error-code when fed with the .tfw- and .tif-File ("Image not found"), when trying to convert to Oruxmaps.



The .tfw-File contains not much data, perhaps to low to processs the tiff-file.

In contrast, the .tab-Files contain all necessary information to build Oruxmaps (I believe).



Could you implement the usage of MapInfo-.tab-Files in OruxMapsDesktop?

I have found an older request, but no answer.



Sincerely yours, Michael

Hi, Orux,



I use OruxMaps Desktop conversion offline maps, but OruxMaps Desktop does not support Mapinfo "TAB" calibration file, can you support "TAB" file in next version? Example of "TAB" file:

!charset WindowsLatin1
