SWISSLOG MAP
Hi all,
Has anyone swisslog's map in better resolution?
I have that one includes the setup.
I'm zooming (highest zoom) e.g. on an island, 
the resolution is poor and the iota number not seems clear beacuse of bright purple color
Thanks in advance.

Hi Chris,

I fully agree with you! The current Map component only accepts BMP files. This is the higher resolution I have achieved. I have found a JPG with higher resolution but unfortunately the current version of the Map component I use in Delphi doesn't allow JPG files. I would have to upgrade the Map component which cost about 600€. Swisslog is now free and I can't afford this cost.

You can avoid using the world map texture by entering the Map configuration, press the Texture button and delete the file name, press Ok. Now select the World Map layer and check both options below. You will see the world map in green anb blue color which looks nice.

Hi Manuel,

Very interesting!! I will take a look which features allows the "free" unit. The commercial TGAgisSmartMap is excellent and it allows everything supported in the current Map function of Swisslog (different projections, polygons, etc). But it's as expensive as the upgrade of the current map function. Let's see if I can take something of it! Thank you for sharing!

RE: SWISSLOG MAP
Thank you Chris! Unfortunately the world map function implemented in Swisslog is very limited and only allows bitmaps of 256 colours in 8 bits resolution so I can't use JPG with higher resolutions. However, technology is improving and I have found this very nice textures and converted it to the required format. It's the best result I can implement with these requirements!

I'm glad that you are happy! I'm doing the best I can to make everybody's happy!
