A dialog will be opened which requests some of this information.
Map Datum
-
specify the map datum to be used.
Map UTM Zone
- specify the zone, 2 digits only. For UTM projection maps the UTM zone number
must be known to import the map so you must know this in advance. On the USA DRG maps the
zone number is usually provided on the lower left hand corner of the map image, the datum is also
provided there. You will need to open the map image in a paint program such as Paint Shop Pro
www.jasc.com
to view the image.
If you are importing a USA USGS DRG map with just a tfw file and the map image name is in the
standard USGS format (example O43107C4.TIF) then OziExplorer will work out the correct UTM
Zone number to use from the file name and put it in the Zone field of the DRG Import Options
dialog as the default.
Hemisphere
- Select the correct Hemisphere (North or South of the equator).
Always Ask
- if checked this dialog will be shown for each map imported, if unchecked the
parameters entered into the dialog will be assumed to apply to all maps.
Map Projection
- Select the map projection which matches the projection of the map you are
importing. If it is unknown, it is often provided on the map image. You will need to open the map in
a paint program (see above). Some projections are not supported. Some projections require
additional parameters (an example is Lambert Conformal Conic), the Projection Setup dialog will
popup for you to enter these parameters.
Not all tfw files have the data values exactly as OziExplorer expects, so not all maps can be imported
correctly with just the tfw file.
Converting Geotiff Image Files from 24 bit color to 8 bit.
Note : OziExplorer can read both 24 bit and 8 bit tif images and both formats are paged in as
required.
If a 24 bit image is converted to 8 bit color the Geotiff georeference information is lost.
This document describes a technique to save the georeference information and to then put it back
