Raster Maps
Raster maps are complete maps in a form of an image usually prepared by
professional organizations. The advantage of raster map is in the fact that fi-
nal map optimization is done by human beings, which makes maps much more
alike the paper map. In many cases, raster maps are nothing but electronic
versions of paper maps.
Some of these maps may be obtained only under license and some of them
are freely available.
Typically, these maps are provided as a file with
tiff
,
jpg
,
png
,
bmp pdf
or
similar raster image extension. The most suitable format is tiff with integrated
geo-referenced information – so called geotiff.
We use special software to convert one of these formats into a format optimized
for Nesis and Emsis. Typical extension of our format is
ras
.
Some of our
ras
files are copy protected and they will be visible only when
proper license file is also installed. This license file has
lic
extension.

–
. We convert these maps into
ras
format that is
optimized for Nesis and also Emsis. The maps can be downloaded from our
web site. Figure 93 shows coverage of DFS maps.
All DFS are licensed maps. You can download the
ras
files from our web
page and install them on Nesis, but they will not be displayed on Nesis screen
unless proper license file is purchased from us and copied.
