LOD8 Image Tool

Post by rhumbaflappy » Sun Jun 09, 2013 9:37 pm

Hi all.

I've made a new tool which grabs an LOD8-sized image from various internet tile providers. Useful for getting a background image for SBuilder9 or Ground2k.

A new version 1.0.0.2 saves to a sub-directory and also saves a .bpw file for easy loading to a GIS program. Use the above link for the new file.

I have a new version 3 of both LOD8 and LOD5. It now produces a correctly reprojected image.. the former versions were in a google mercator projection, ; now they are in geographic projection.

Unfortunately, the code and program are lost. Perhaps someone else has a copy, and they could post a link to it. Meanwhile, SBuilderX can make a bitmap of an area, and that could be used in Sbuilder.
