Merging Map Data
« on: July 29, 2011, 05:30:18 PM »
Hi, Scott.

Is it possible to merge map data of the same geographical area?  For example, if you had a directory with map.dat files of mostly topo tiles and another directory containing mostly color aerial tile data, could the two be merged into one database?

I realize this isn't a current feature but does the MapIndex and Mapx file structure theoretically permit this?

Thanks,
Bill

Hey Bill,

Right, not currently a feature, but it is possible to do.  Would probably be best in a standalone maps crunching program, rather than in TF itself...

Thanks, Scott.

A small utility does sort of make sense.  Are TF's map files in a proprietary format or ...?
