Noni Map View with Ozi Ex **Very Cool Stuff**

[JamesC Member Find all posts View Profile Close JamesC]

Now I picked up on this on the Oziexplorer site, specifically the stuff under development.

Designers for a program called Noni Map View have teamed up with Oziexplorer and also with Google, Open Map, Yahoo and Virtual Earth.

To be straight to the point you can create pretty accurate maps which are also geo-referenced for use in Ozi Explorer. I prefer to use the google stuff which allows me to put on good quality satellite, terrain (with decent topo markings) and of course standard street stuff.

I've only just started to play with this thing so am yet to discover what limitations exist, however please have a look at the maps I created below and have overlayed with the last trip we did up in the hills. I've scaled it right down so quality might'nt be great, but you'll get the idea.

I've looked at the sites concerned and it appears to me to be ridgy didge licence wise so if there is any issues, it's purely unintentional!!

You can also re-calibrate the maps to suit yourself (via OZI) and if use the ozi explorer map merge capability, you can make all sorts of maps. I've made one below for something to do, it is the sports facility at Aumuller and Hoare Streets Cairns. I have created the standard street map view and overlayed it with satellite view of the sports complex. Again I've shrunk the size for he forum so quality may suffer a bit

Alternative to Noni Map View

I've been using Nonimaps for a while as well as SAS Planet but recently discovered Mobile Atlas Creator. This is truely awesome and I've used this to "capture" some of OpenStreetMap Cyclemap as this includes terrain contours. I had used Nonimaps to do the same but when I used the file in OziExplorer and overlaid an existing track file I found that the OSM Cyclemap from Noni was way out in calibration where as through Mobile Atlas Creator it is spot on.

Thumbs up from me

Re: Noni Map View with Ozi Ex **Very Cool Stuff**

I use a GIS program that lets me use imageservers to create my maps for Ozi. Probably a little similar to that Mobile Atlas creator (which I've seen referenced before but haven't gotten around to having a play with yet). So far I've done Aust in a 36 tile grid at 1:250K and all the cities at 1:25K. I was hoping to do it programatically but I haven't worked out how to write the code yet. Next task is to do sections of the USA for an upcoming trip and probably do some higher resolution sections of Oz areas I might travel. Not sure how it is with these programs but the way I've been doing it, the trick is to find the happy medium between file sizes and detail displayed. Would be nice to do the lot at 1:12500 but that would take forever and fill many hard disks!
