Stitch Maps description
Stitch Maps - Connect your scanned or digitalized single maps to one shareable map

The maps used as basis for the assembly were either created by scanning templates, or by exports from digitalized maps.

The stitched map is a raster, similar to a digitalized photo.
Please note, that the creation of vector charts as used for road navigation programs is not possible with this method.

Here are some key features of "Stitch Maps":

· Stitch maps together to build one big map
· The program StitchMaps ! simply joins these maps
· The result is a map that is suitable for programs using raster scan.


The program moves each map of the first row to the adjacent map on the left, until the requirements for overlapping are met.

From the second row on the remaining maps are connected top down. The maps are moved to overlap the maps of the same column and the respective upper row.

Requirements:

· The maps should be available in jpeg (jpg), or in bmp format (Windows Bitmap).
· The maps have to overlap. Please provide at least 100-200 pixels, or 1-2 cm edge at scanned maps.
· The maps are positioned as tiles (fields) in a regular grid.
· After specification of the number of rows and columns of the grid (matrix),each field of the matrix has to be allocated to a map.
· Empty fields within, or on the margin of the matrix are not permissible!
