I have an application where I need some street-level maps of Sydney (other capital cities would be nice, too; Melbourne and Brisbane, in particular) in a format that I can decipher via some code, or where there exist Linux libraries or other tools to do the decoding for me.
I've already purchased some Sydney and ACT street-level maps on CD ROM, with some software that runs under Windows, called "MapSend". However, the data is in some binary form. What I'm trying to do is get portions of the maps into the form of PalmPilot bitmaps (not sure whether that is equivalent to some standard and hence whether tools exist to do so, or whether I'll have to write some code once I have the data). I also bought a CD ROM of Geodata 2000 release 2, which has maps at a scale of 1 : 250 000 of much of Australia. Again, though, I don't know the format of the data it contains. It could be that the CDs I already have are using a standard format that's specified somewhere, but being cartographically challenged, I wouldn't know. In any case, can anyone point me in the right direction? TIA, Harry O. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
