Open navigation map

[hoibazupfa]

Hello Skippers! I wondered if it is possible to open the navigation map shown in game with an extern editor (e.g. for printing it). Where is the map-file located? Are there more then just 1 map file? Thanks for answers! Hoiba

Good question:hmm:

I only know, that the nav map is very detailed, and I don't think it is just a texture...

I think they are all decoded in *.raw format
-don't know how to open

There should be 2x *.RAW map files. One governs high zoom, the other low zoom.

However, there is no detail on these except for topographical data, no ports, grids or names.

You can open them in Photoshop or maybe PaintShopPro (dunno about PSP).

There should be a fairly high res map (PDF format) in the Documentation folder.

Sorry, SH4 does not have a printable map.:oops:

Anyway, here's a crop of the RAW file so you can see what it's like.

The following web site provides the Map that came with game. It shows traffic
routes and mine fields.

Just go to the following site and press the blue down arrow to download it.

@Xantrokoles & danlisa: yes, I found 2 .raw files in folders Map1 and Map2 but wasn't able to open them... one of the .raw was about a size of 210MB ... I guess this are these maps.. @JREX53: Thanks for posting this link! Maybe I can use this map... I'm trying to "real" navigate without using the in-game navigation map for plotting. Therefore I need good maps to work with ;)
