[WIP] Urbis Redux Map

[Naima]

I've decided to stick with the base image for the time being, especially since there is a limit to how large the images can be which G.Projector can import.

I've managed to add my first two locations to the map, and then came up with a Equidistant Conic map projection (generated by G. Projector) of the region which I quite like.

Centered on Lon: 140 °E, Lat -60 °N
Std. Par 1: -48 °N, Std. Par. 2: -72 °N, Height: 40 °
Autoset Parallels

The only thing I don't like is the resolution of the image - the labels are barely readable. This isn't too much of a problem - my main goal is to use QGIS for putting down points on the map, ensuring that they have the correct geographical relationships to each other, and then get map projections that I can "draw over" with other mapping tools. Still, I'll have to see if I can increase the resolution for exports of such "regional maps" further...

EDIT: Yup, exporting a smaller geographical area with QGIS works fine, since G.Projector can import "partial" maps.

How big is your map ? Gprojectior can manage up to 15000 pixel sized images .

Depends on the export resolution. But G.Projector complains if the image is larger than 28,125,000 pixels.

28 million pixels ? you mean wide? or total?
I can import fine up to 21000 x 10500 .

Total. Thus, I have watch the resolution I export the image at.

Then it can definetly load large images, It works fine for me, perhaps depend on your system if it can manage ?
