xnon 0:57 | Is there any way to convert Garmin .img files into a format that TMJ supports(vector or raster)? Thanks! | |
xnon 4:56 | One more thing. I'm a bit confused as to how the whole cacheing thing goes. Will loading an entire city(up to maximum zoom) onto a memory card as a .tmj file and then trying to view it via TMJ cause some major memory issues? Or is the tmj file naturally split to avoid such disasters? Once again, thanks. | |
Stephen 11:57 Location: Phone Model: | Hi, No, unfortunately the Garmin format is not compatible with TMJ. As for the .tmj file, yes it is essentially a load of individual small image tiles stuck end-to-end into one file, so TMJ just loads 4 of these at a time, minimising the memory usage. So in theory the filesize is unlimited, however when creating the .tmj initially, the MapOrganiser needs a fair bit of RAM to handle large images, so this is more likely to be the limiting factor. (The largest map I've used myself is around 500 megapixels, in a 300Mb .tmj file) Cheers, Stephen | |
xnon 18:34 | Thanks for the prompt response. And most of all, thanks for creating such a great program! | |
