IMAGE CONVERTER

The AgMapper Image Converter is a free utility to create files that are automatically imported into the AgMapper GPS mapping software on the Pocket PC.

AgMapper Image Converter takes an image and embeds the coordinates as well as the image into a single file for extremely easy importing into AgMapper on the Windows Mobile device.

The Image Converter can be found in your Start/Programs/AgMapper menu after installing the AgMapper software.

Using AgMapper Image Converter:

To start, you will need:

  1. An image; Supported formats are: BMP, JPG, JPEG, TIF, TIFF, GIF
  2. The co-ordinates for the top left (North West) & bottom right (South East) of the image in
      Longitude & Latitude (Decimal Degrees, or Degrees, Minutes & Seconds), or Eastings & Northings
      Supported Datums & Grids can be viewed here.
      World files will be detected (*.jgw, *.bpw & *.tfw) and the option to extract coords from these files will be given.

HOW TO:

  1. Select the image to be converted
  2. Select the datum type being used
  3. Enter the co-ordinates for the North West & South East of the image
  4. Click the 'Create AgMapper Map' button
  5. You will then have a file in the same directory as the original image with the same name and the extension '.MapLib'
  6. This image needs to be copied over to the Windows Mobile device and placed into your Maps directory.
      You can then add the image to your map using the Layers / Select Image option, or add the image to a view

NOTES:

  - Those users owning Fairport Farm Software mapping software are able to export an image from their Fairport Farm      Software mapping software, which will create an additional file with the extension .gpm. You will have the option to      automatically extract the co-orinates for the image from this file after selecting your image.
