MGL Avionics User Forum

Hello everyone,

Let me introduce myself: Valentino, French and new user of MGL Avionics (MX1).


I am encountering a problem with MapMaker2 when creating maps for EFIs by importing EPSG3857 files.
Let me explain: I downloaded the “Carreaux EPSG3857” files for France from the “openflightmaps” site, I followed the tutorial (PDF) provided by MGL and the software generates the maps correctly except for the western part of France, namely W004N50 and W004N58...
I tried several times, I uninstalled and reinstalled the software as well and I always get the same problem, no files for the West part, I only have E004N.... and above all a card which is cut in two .
I only have the "EST" part of France (the whole "WEST" part is black).
Has anyone encountered this problem before?


Have a nice day & happy Sunday

I'm having a similar problem and I'm not sure if it's a bug or if something is missing in the manual.

I want to create a raster map containing Germany (ED) and adjacent countries.
Creating a ED map from OFM EPGS works perfectly fine and shows well in the iEFIS Simulator.
But combining datasets of two counties leaves only the data of the last imported to be intact.

Reproduction:
- Import EPGS tiles from ED at E012N58
- Import EPGS tiles from EP at E012N58
create EFIS map from tiles

This will result in a map only containing the data from EP. If you reverse import order, only ED data is shown.
The viewer in MapMaker2 also does not show overlapping areas.

It seems to me that the merging of the tiles (the black parts) does not work correctly.
As OFM does not provide an "all-in-one" packate of the EPGS data it's practically not possible to create multi-country raster maps.

@rainier: what am I missing??

thanks
Fabian
