Today, a GPS navigator in a car is a familiar phenomenon. After all, with him it is so easy to navigate the terrain and make the most convenient route for yourself. In addition, there is simply a huge number of cards specially created for this particular gadget. All that remains is to find the right one for you.
It is necessary
- -a computer;
- -automotive shop;
- - images of satellites;
- -maps of the area
Instructions
Step 1
First, determine the make and model of your navigator. This is necessary for the found card to work correctly. Then use the Internet. Here you can find any map (this applies to the terrain, and the navigator model and other parameters). You just need to specify in the search line in as much detail as possible all the data you have (country or locality, navigator brand, which map should be) and click on the "search" button. After that, a whole list of sites suitable for you will appear in front of you. For example, https://www.gpssoft.ru/gpsmap.html or https://www.garmin.ru/. Go to any and download a map for your navigator. Then load it directly into the device and you can safely hit the road.
Step 2
You can search for the GPS map you need in specialized automotive stores. To do this, you will again need knowledge of what kind of gadget you have. Contact the sellers in boutiques selling such accessories, they will inform you in detail. And also consultants will help you choose the maps you need and tell you how to install and update them correctly in the navigator.
Step 3
If you cannot find a map either on the Internet or from sellers, then try to design it yourself. True, this procedure will take you quite a long time. But on the ground you will be guided much better than on the purchased ready-made map. So, in order to create your own map, first collect information about the region you plan to move around. It includes information about topography, overview maps, points and tracks that have been recorded in the area, satellite images of maps, etc.
Step 4
Next, compare your raster maps and other information. This is necessary in order to identify inconsistencies and emerging changes. Also here you must determine which objects will be fixed on your map, and which you can easily refuse. Also, it is at this moment on your map that you must determine the boundaries of the region you are visiting.
Step 5
Now place objects on the map. This procedure, as a rule, is a simple tracing of the contours of the data that are available on the source materials. Further, to make it easier for you to navigate in space, draw a grid of contour lines on your map, create large-scale layers. Then you can translate the map into the format you need and load it into the navigator.
