How do I add the map?
In your map directory you have a file called "map.db".
This file is the central directory of maps. In order to add a map you will
have to add a line to this file.
Lines in this file are formatted like this:
filename This is the title of this map
The filename is the name of a file in your map directory.
The contents of this file depends on the map format you are adding.
Everything after the filename is text that will be
displayed literally in the "Open Map" dialog window to select this map.
If the map you are adding is a BSB nautical chart, the
filename is the name of the charts .bsb file.
If you are adding a TIFF or a XPM format map, the
filename is the name of an auxiliary file you will have to
create. The extension of this file must be ".des"
If you want to add a USGS DRG topo map, follow the instructions for TIFF
files.
