[WIP] Urbis Redux Map

[Jürgen Hubert]

gdal_edit.py -a_srs EPSG:4326 -a_ullr -180 90 180 -90 map.tif

Do note, you'll need to convert your map image to a tif file, which should be possible with most image editing software, such as gimp.

Once georeferenced, your raster can be added to a QGIS project and it will show up properly.

Thanks, that was very useful!

Unfortunately, while I was able to open up GDAL, I got the following error message:

gdal_edit.py -a_srs EPSG:4326 -a_ullr -180 90 180 -90 Urbis_Globe.tif
ERROR 1: _TIFFVSetField:Urbis_Globe.tif: Sorry, cannot nest SubIFDs

Do you have any idea what the cause of this could be?


EDIT: Apparently, the base size of the .tif file was too small - when I enlarged it, it worked without a problem.

But this brings me to another issue: The base map provided by the generator is only 1600x800 pixels, and the generator cannot create a bigger one. So... I need to come up with a higher-res version that, preferably, adds some more detail.

Any recommendations for what software I could use for this? Perhaps some new "AI sharpener" tools (which preferably are available for free and without registering)? Or perhaps some older fraktal terrain tools?
