What an excellent idea!
A great and very
interesting little program. Thanks a lot!
Would probably raise a few eyebrows in the harbour, seing you're using some old Kriegsmarine Karts for tripplanning...
The SeaClear program recommends using BMP or TIFF files, so I did a few tests...
This KM No. 3270 English Channel, dimensions 208x266 cm
In jpeg the map weighs 28 MB (not suited for use in SeaClear- blurred image when zoomed in)
In BMP it grows to 148 MB (much better sharpness)
And in TIFF it is a whopping 293 MB
If needed by anyone, I wouldn't mind doing the conversions into BMP, PNG or TIFF, which btw. clearly is the sharpest format.
Certainly not suited for an upload, but instead I can ship a DVD with maps in requested format(s).
This service will require a donation to Subsim, though.
Thanks again for the SeaClear reference. Most appreciated!
