Error while loading map

  • Hi all,

    I have a raster map that I cannot load in QV7.

    Trying to activate this map with "Show in map", I receive a flashing blank screen for 1 or 2 sec than nothing and return to the Xplorer.

    I have tried the same map in different format (png, tiff, jpg)

    I have the same symptoms for all these format


    The TIFF file is about 2.5Gb

    The PNG file is about 2Gb

    The JPG file is about 500Mb


    My machine is equiped with W7 x64, 16Gb ram

    All these maps have been checked and can be opened correctly


    is there somewhere a logfile that may be checked for a detailled error ?

    For help, files are available on demand


    thx


    Jean-Michel

    Hi Jean-Michel,


    the file size does not indicate how large the map really is, all of these formats use compression. A couple of questions:


    - how many pixels does the map have, horizontal and vertical?

    - tif & png: which color mode, 8 bit, 24 bit or 32 bit?

    - tif: tiled? Internal overviews?

  • So your map expands to about 7 GB of data while loading. Given the map is already imported, right-click it in the X-Plorer list -> Style Maps -> General -> tick "Load partially...", and then try again. QV7 should be able to load at least the tiled tiff version of your map although i would suggest to reduce the color depth to 8 bits.


    In general, JPG is not a suitable format for large raster maps. My personal choice is tiled geotiff with 8bit color depth and internal overview pyramid, for imagery i prefer ECW.

  • Hello I have 9 grid tiles with a total of 5.5 gig as Tif I would like to load them in Q7 but I don't get any (not even individually) to load. I made a 1 gig out of it.

    I have produced ECW that works - quality too bad.

    I converted this to 8 bits. no success.


    Anyone know advice?


    Thank you Günter

  • following the advices of Polarlys, I've made some more tests . No more success than before ?(

    --> Right-click in the map in the X-Plorer list -> Style Maps -> General -> tick "Load partially..." : no success

    --> Reduce the color depth to 8 bits. : No more success


    Using ImageMagik, find here after a more accurate techspec of my TIF file

    May be somebody will find something strange or wrong

  • To Guenter and jmvmla,

    your maps are in a unpleasent format. You need some kind of tiling format to show the map in QV7.


    For an export use tiled tiff or ecw. Hans prefers tiled tiff, i prefer ecw. If you use QVX, than also mbtiles are possible ( i think this did not work in QV7).


    I like ecw, but for these normal maps you have to take a look at the compression ratio. In Global Mapper i use a ratio of 2 or 3 and i am pleased with this. For Sat-Images you can choose a higher compression.


    Greetigs

  • Hallo Günter(?),

    leider ist Deine Frage etwas knapp! Vielleicht erklärst Du noch einmal genauer, was Du gerne machen möchtest? Da wir hier im QV7 Teil sind, nehme ich auch an, dass es um QV7 geht?


    Du willst die Karten kalibrieren?

    Du willst fertig kalibrierte Tiff Dateien importieren?

    Du würdest die Tiff Dateien gerne zusammenfassen?


    Kalibrieren: http://wikiqv7.qvgps.de/doku.p…e:35_maps:f_calibration&s


    Importieren würde ich über die Möglichkeit "Verzeichnis importieren": http://wikiqv7.qvgps.de/doku.p…t#cd_dvd_oder_verzeichnis


    Zusammenfassen kannst Du die Karten in QV7 nicht, dafür brauchst Du ein anderes Programm (z.B. QGis oder GM), Du kannst aber mit dem Projektmanager und der Funktion Karten als Overlays zu laden in QV7 mehrere Karten auf einmal öffnen: http://wikiqv7.qvgps.de/doku.p…e:30_mapwindow:e_multimap

    Viele Grüße

  • @ Sir-Vival and Horst

    I've done the conversion of my big TIFF file to an MBTiles one

    The importation into QV7 has been done without errors BUT the map does not display any more !!!!!


    gsguenter

    what tool dit you used to convert your TIFF file to ECW ?

    thanks

  • Just to be sure:

    Open an Onlinemap an go to a point, where you exactly know it is on your mbtiles map. Open the mbtiles map as an overlay and hit the "1" Zoom Button.

    Is the map now visible? Zoom a little in and out, so you know your in the right an exporteted Zoomlevel.


    If not: Do you have a chance to open the mbtiles map in an other Programm, just to be sure, that the map is OK?


    Greetings

    Denis

  • Hello,


    What is the geodetic datum of your TIFF?

    With which program did you create the mbtiles?


    Gruß

    Horst
