Custom Maps pieces do not fit in BaseCamp 3.01

Former Member over 15 years ago

Hello,

I created a Garmin Custom Map (as kmz file) with 30 pieces and imported the result into BaseCamp 3.01. Unfortunately I notice problems with the overlapping pieces - they do not fit together in BaseCamp 3.01 (Mac and Windows version).

This error occurs in BaseCamp only. If I upload exactly this Custom Map to my Oregon 550t the map is shown without errors on the device. Pretty much the same if I use Google Earth to open the kmz file. GE also shows the pieces without problems in the right fitting.

Any idea? Has somebody encountered the same problems with BaseCamp 3.01 and Custom Maps?

Thanks,

Oliver

I don't know without looking at the actual kml file, but it looks like there may be a tilt in the image. BaseCamp doesn't support the rotation parameter in ground overlays yet. If this isn't the issue, then please send the kml file to [email][email protected][/email].

This is the KML Code for the two example pieces producing the displacement. I send the example including the jpg's also to [email][email protected][/email] .

BaseCamp doesn't support this line:

<rotation>2.7316857513307</rotation>

So what ends up happening is your images don't line up when viewed in BaseCamp. We are exploring support for this feature in the future.
