For each zone this product includes:
- 1 general map at scale 1:250.000 (pixel size is 57 m).
- several maps at scale 1:50.000, covering all the coastline;
the pixel size is 14,25 m. Land is filled with Landsat 7 satellite
images.
- several maps at scale 1:25.000, with the same coverage as 1:50.000
maps; the pixel size is 7,125 m.
- several maps at scale 1:10.000, covering the ports and
surrounding area; the pixel size is 2,5 m.
- the descriptive informations on major ports
- the waypoints of ports
All maps are distributed using the OGF2 format, optimized for MapViewGPS. The descriptive informations of ports
are in HTML-JPG format (language is Italian); the waypoints are in WPT
format.
The descriptive informations of ports cannot be accessed directly from
inside MapViewGPS: to see them you must open the HTML file having
the same name of the port of which you need informations. To
facilitate this operation we suggest you to install the free
software "FExplorer", that can be downloaded
from here .
The size of maps and data is different from area to area, ranging
from a minimum of 100MB to a maximum of 170MB. If you dont
have enough space on your phone you can reduce the number of maps
you want to access at the same time.
