Example

Example of a maps file example.maps:

            11d59m05.60sE 49d33m16.05sN 12d00m36.03sE 49d32m21.97sN sbach.bmp
            6d37m44.00sE 43d16m26.95sN 6d39m10.66sE 43d15m29.04sN sttropez.jpg
            

defines two map entries, one in the bitmap file sbach.bmp defining a rectangle region:

• Left upper corner of the file sbach.bmp: 11 degreee 59 minutes 5.6 seconds East, 49 degree 33 minutes 16.05 seconds North.
• Right bottom corner of the bitmap file: 12 degree 0 minutes 36.03 seconds East, 49 degree 32 minutes 21.97 seconds North.

and the second map in the file sttropez.jpg, presenting also a rectangle region with the boundaries:

• Left upper cordner of the file sttropez.jpg: 6 degree 37 minuzes 44 seconds East, 43 degree 16 minutes 26.95 seconds North.
• Right bottom corner of the file sttropez.jpg: 6 degree 39 minutes 10.66 seconds East, 43 degree 15 minutes 29.04 seconds North.

The following example program should load the bitmap file sttropez.jpg and show a point within its rectangle boundaries:

[C#]

            using serial;
            public void showLocation() {
            BmpMapForm f;
            double     x, y;
            x = Utils.coord2dec("6d37m00.00sE", false);
            y = Utils.coord2dec("43d16m00.00sN", true);
            f = new BmpMapForm("example.maps");
            f.setPoint(x, y);
            f.Show();
            }
