World Background Maps

It looks fine by me, but the colour does look a little over-saturated. Or is that just my crappy monitor?

Its your Monitor ... :) I will fix it was done late in the night. :)

Yeah, you are probably right mate :D :D :D

@bogdac

No mate, it's nothing wrong with your monitor!
That's a damn too oversaturated image!

[bogdac]

And there was me trying to be tactful

[BenganJ]

Right, but in that case that was wrong, not your monitor! :D

Hi there,

That map looks great, where did you take it from? Is there a website where are satellite maps for free use?

Such a satellite map is always beatyfuller as the grey black, or a Roadmap would also be nice.

Bengan you wrote this new projection fit not with promods. How is it with the pmme?

@MG Mike

I explained that in the other topic, where you first posted. According to
Promods team they are not fully complying to the "new projection", e.g.
up in the north of Scandinavia and also Cyprus. Therefor it was mandatory
that Middle East was the defining positioning mod, it has its own map_data.sii.
BUT, the worst with Promods is UK and Iceland, look earlier in this topic and
you'll see why it is horrible! I have a special program to generate the correct
map projection and everything is actually ready for use. A whole bunch of
people have got it for testing purposes and MAYBE the SAT BG's will be released
when you don't actually expect it! :D

@Bengan

Any progress in doing Background map so far ?

[BenganJ]

@Tapir

Well, I have been waiting for dOOmERdaZe to do his job with
the needed files, like manifest.sii, the icons and descriptions.
He has also done some adjustments to the map_data.sii when
it comes to the 2 highest levels of zoom and also the possible
max area to use when panning the map. I'm now checking it
all out, and keep your fingers crossed that everything works
ok. :D

[Tapir]

Naturally I `ll cross my fingers, thanks for your kind answer. ;)
