Not 100% sure what you mean regarding monotiles, but reading between the lines, I'm guessing the batch feature won't support generating the Garmin Custom Maps for me from GeoTIFFs? The batch feature implmented in OkMap regards only monotile maps.Įvery map needs its own parameters to create a good tiled map. Hi there, just wondering if this feature is available yet? Thank you. The only input I provided was choosing the projection = New Zealand's NZTM2000.
#GARMIN CUSTOM MAPS FREE#
On previous free versions of OkMap I would leave all the defaults that OkMap selected for me and have been impressed with the tiled output. I'll happily purchase a licence if the functionality is present.
That would be awesome! I've subscribed to this topics to watch for updates. I'll add this function to the list of things to do. I'm thinking it's a function that I could add but with some limitations such as the possibility to exclude single tiles or to choose the resizing factor.
#GARMIN CUSTOM MAPS SOFTWARE#
OkMap seems to produce the best best Garmin compatible files from the options I've tried so am hoping that purchasing the software will solve my problem rather than needing to spend the time coding up something myself.Īctually OkMap can convert GeoTiff (and other formats) to KMZ (and other formats) in batch mode, taking in input files from a folder and puting the converted ones in another folder (GUI). I have a large number of geo tiffs I'd like to process in one go rather than having to manually process them one at a time. It's a feature I asked about back in 2012 and am hoping on the off-chance that it's something you may have added.
I'm wondering if the latest version of OkMap is able to batch generate Garmin Custom Maps / KMZ files? Either from the UI or via a command line option. Generate multiple Garmin Custom Map files Good enough for our work, but you might consider a deeper tool if you need more raster data than that at a time.OkMap forum - Generate multiple Garmin Custom Map files Well, Garmin doesn’t want you to load more than 100 tiles (probably for performance reasons), but what does that mean practically? For the testing I did, that meant for a 4 foot pixel (most of our best data isn’t more spatially accurate than that, even if it’s more precise), I was able to load about 3200 acres– enough for one of our larger parks. Just choose KMZ as your output type, choose one of the garmin types in the next screen, and the rest easy easy GUI fun. Now, you can use MapTiler to generate the kind of KMZ that is so near and dear to the garmin’s heart. Easiest hand crafting of geographic data you can imagine (it’s the gateway for bigger and better hand crafted geographic data). You can export an image from any desktop or server package, and if you know the upper left coordinate of the image, and the pixel size, you have enough to create a world file. You can follow Garmin’s directions, but if you already have georeferenced data, skip them and by whatever means you know, generate a jpeg with a world file (for you ArcMap users, goto data view, file:export choose jpeg, and check the world file checkbox). Sure enough, it came in, and we’ve loaded them. None-the-less, when a colleague told me that Garmin now has firmware support for custom maps for some of it’s GPS units, I told him it might be a good choice for his field work and that I’d work on loading our maps onto his unit when it came in. A GIS Manager who doesn’t have a GPS is it’s own category of silly.
I don’t spend much time on field equipment, e.g.
