Wish List

Please go to the Discussion page.

Get the OSM map

  • The taho.pl script has a option to generate directly calibrated maps to use in TurboGPS.

Example: taho.pl -coord="10,47.54,7.58" -coord2="47.48,7.66" -turbogps=yes

For Windows users the faster way would be to use the taho.exe. In the screen you have to choose the filename with the Coordinates.

Taho.exe export.png

Both tools you can finde here: Taho

This generated in the /map directory files like this:

7.55859375_47.4874452560027_7.6025390625_47.4577407945593_1024_1024.png

To get these filename you have to select "Koord." not "Nr." as in the picture above!!!

Maps in the Turbo GPS Application even the Cyclemap
