map grid sizes

Post by ebud » 2004-12-06 21:48:13

Can someone explain a bit how to resize the map grids?

Such as.

I would like an island to possible have 100m or larger grid sizes. I saw in the BI forum that Visitor has an option for 25m grids. Is anything like this possible in WRPTool? Also I think I read in the wrptool pdf that this can be done, but can you edit the island in the way?

In reality what I'm trying to do is to import sat images into wrptool to lay roads and objects. As it is, cutting up large sat images into small tiles to import is a real pain.

Any ideas? Suggestions?

to the 2 people whom emailed me and helped me out, thanks!
The solution thats out there, to change the grid in the config, is a good option except that you cannot edit in that view.

The solution I'm using is a simpler one. I'm using a tool that makes the wrptool window with my imported dem files transparent (thanks for the links Rom!) so I can see global mapper(or microdem works as well) with a good sat image overlaying my dem files with a 50m area measurement drawn for reference, then I scale my wrptool window so that the 50 tiles match up. Then I can place objects based on real world layouts.

Works pretty well.
