Israeli Grid (New)

Hi,
Wonderful app!
I am always hiking in areas without 3G coverage and cant use google maps, so this is EXACTLY what I need.

Am having a problem converting my oziexplorer maps which use the new Israeli DATUM. And the Transverse Mercator projection.

Here is an example .map file:

Any ideas?

Thanks, Eran

Hi, Eran;

OruxMaps is not ready for this datum/projection, but let me study them.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response.
If it helps then these are the values from the oziexplorer projection setup: (which are somehow based on UTM I think)
Latitude Origin : 31.734090 N
Central meridian : 35.212060 E
Scale Factor : 1.000000000
False easting : 170251.00
False northing : 1126868.00

Also I can help you with coding if you need it
Have been playing with the application all week since I got my android

Hi, Eran;

I need some maps for test; I have found two 'Israeli' datums (OID, NID), I am not sure which one do you need.

Perhaps you can test this version:

You have to select by hand the datum.

HI, thanks for the help
yes there are maps in both the old Israeli datum and the new one,
I will test what you sent and let you know what happened.

Thanks

OK, played with it, and it looks great!
I made some driving around with the application after using the desktop version with the NID,
and its pretty much perfect.
(just a slight shift but that could be due to several reasons , the ozi calibration, the maps themselves....).

I can send you a map, the tracks etc...
I wouldn't want to use rapidshare since its a commercial map, and it has some non free data, so can I email it to you?

Anyway, great work!!!!

Hi, Eran;

Of course you can: oruxuro@gmail.com

I am going to work with a new (and more accuracy) set of formulas this weekend. I have the parameters of NID for that formulas; I will tell you for new tests.

Orux.
