Currently we can offer all ICAO map sheets 1997 for Germany, and the ICAO map sheets 1995 for Austria and Switzerland.
In addition we have the Shell Euro-Atlas and the nautical map for the lake of Konstanz (Germany).

If you will need other maps you may either charge them at our company or produce them yourself.

Please remember the copyright conditions for your specific maps. In common you must get the permission of the map supplier for copying or scanning maps. A map you have prepared by yourself or charged at our company may be used only for your own private issues and may not be given away (even without charge) to others!

For producing your own maps you will need:

• an Apple Macintosh computer with at least 8 MB of RAM, or a PC running Windows 3.1 (with WIN32S), WindowsÝ95 or Windows NT
• image processing software, such as Adobe Photoshop® (LE)
• the Newton Toolkit development environment from Apple for either Mac-OS or Windows, at least version 1.6, which is available for free downloading
• access to a scanner or already digitised maps. Your scanner should support at least formats as big as DIN A3. You can also ask DTP studios or publishing house for scanning services.

Preparing maps is divided into the following steps:

1. Bitmap type (scanned) maps:

• search for a map suitable for both navigation (exactness) and displaying on a b/w PDA screen (good contrast)
• Scan the map
• do the optical preparation and convert it to a b/w PICT resource (Mac) or BMP file (Windows)

2. Vector based maps (Mac-OS only):

• draw your map by using any CAD application
• convert the map into a PICT resource file (Mac) or a normal PICT format file (Windows)

Common for both:

• look for geographic calibration points. You will need three for rectangular type map projections (scaled 1:1 up to 1:50000), and nine for cone type map projections
• calculate the map description parameters by entering the calibration points either into a Macintosh or Windows application
• copy the map description parameters into an empty map template and compile it within the Newton Toolkit
• check your new map by using GPS Map functions
