Use of russian military maps (.gif/.png/.jpg/.map)

[runout]

Hello!

Can i use russian military maps with oruxmaps?

They provide .gif/.png/.jpg tiles

and for OziExplorer calibration .map files



If yes, how can i import these maps?

For some remote areas these are the best maps available.

Don't know if these links work because of a captcha:

Hi,



I just asked myself the same question, I saw your post a while ago looking for an a way to do this and was disappointed that nobody had answered...



But finally I managed to find something which works with maps downloaded from http://loadmap.net/en">//http://loadmap.net/en : you can use the software img2ozf to convert the pair .gif file + .map file to a file in format .ozf2, which is readable by oziexplorer but also by oruxmaps.



I found a detailed explanation of this here : http://www.countryoffroad.net/2014/07/01/1064">//http://www.countryoffroad.net/2014/07/01/1064



Read this carefully as they are several subleties (for example you have to use an older version of img2ozf, because the latest version produces files in format ozf4 which is not read by oruxmaps)



Hope this will work for you too !

Thanks for the answers. I was in the mountains for some time and I'm busy with work right now.

I hope to find time to look into this soon.
