So, I've been playing with MapEdit et al in my quest to make some usable hunting maps for the upcoming hunting season. Now to find the perfect design so I can see the borders and get the most transparent maps I am understanding the process better now. Of cource you can draw freehand images too. I did a little test with it.created a 32x32 file.turned the grid on so I had a guide to follow with the brush.zoomed it to 800%.selected the brush t brush to 4 pix.tried several of the brush patterns and whipped up many different images in no time. A little bonus is it has a bunch of brush patterns. Try this free paint program Paint.NET v3.08 I tried it and worked great. I would like to look at somthing in case I have to do this at work. Also I made a square box but it didn't look to good. If not I will have to make it at work and try it at home. Is there a way to use a free program on windows to do this.
The problem is I can only make it at work then bring it home and try it out. I tried this out and got something but didn't like how it looked. Unless you know already how to do this? Thanks for the help. I will look at page 55&56 of cGPSMapper to see if I can translate that to gentyp program. I find it more user friendly and less learning curve. I use cyphermans gentyp program to do this stuff. and 56 in the cGPSMapper manual covers how to typ a polygon. The example should maybe have a little less transparency to give it more green and the bitmap would have to be adjusted some to get rid of the blank lines. The bitmap can be adjusted to let more (or less) of the underlaying map show through. I used a typ file to alter the State Park polygon (x20) using a bitmap to color in green leaving some transparency to allow the City Select map to show through. I created the example polygon to cover water, land and roads to show how they show through. Here's a screenshot with a semi-transparent polygon custom map on top of City Select. I just thought of another option.typ a polygon with a custom bitmap with a transparent on how to do it is in the latest cGPSMapper manual. Another option instead of using a polygon use a polyline to define the perimeter of the park. You could use a semi-transparent polygon like 01 (and a few others) that would allow the underlaying map to show through the polygon. typ draw order I believe only applies to draw order on your custom map.with your transparent map over another map solid polygons will cover anything below. Know of any work around? Thanks for the help. Thought this might work but my custom map again was on top of all city navigator items. I set the color scheme then set the priority of the polygon to 8. typ file using cyphermans gentyp but had not luck. I am trying to get them into the gps and be able to see city navigator roads, waterways, etc through the polygons.
