Then we split them into a grid so they're not too big for the GPS or GPSFDshp2mp to handle. QGIS does not have the ability to export directly to Polish Text (.mp) files so first we combine as many shapefiles together as possible. Click here to head to the bottom to move to compiling the map.

You will now have a series of maps for each 100k quad grid. This means each map will be called MSTopo_XX.mp where XX are a letter and number for the grid.

Save the files to your 'complete' folder.

Leave everything else alone unless you are continuing a stopped set, in that case check the 'Skip Existing Files' box.

Set it to split by 'Specify Individual Grid Cell Width and Height'.

If you would like to use it download it here and then extract it to your map folder and set it as the Template File as shown here:

I use a header file that includes a dictionary for zoom level.Click File>Export Vector Data>Export Polish MP (cgpsmapper) File.Click 'Add Files.' and open the transportation folder.Click 'Add Files.' and open the random_trails folder and add any random trail data you created.Add nhdareawaterbodyfinal.shpВ andВ nhdflowlinefinal.shp Click 'Add Files.' and open the nhd folder.Click 'Add Files.' and open the gnis folder and add the gnis.shp file.Click 'Add Files.' and open the federal_land folder and add reservations.shpВ and reserves.shp.This will select all the dem files created previously. If you did contour option 2 then: click the top dem file then hold shift and select the bottom file.If you did contour option 1 then: add theВ contoursfinal.shpВ file.Click 'Add Files.' and open the 'dem' folder.Click 'Add Files.' and open the 'borders' folder and add both StateBorder.shp andВ CountyBorders.shp.Save the file in your main topo folder, name it map_catalog.Global Mapper can export directly to Polish Text (MP files) so this process is relatively straight forward. We will be creating a new map catalog with Global Mapper with all of our files. Read on for Global Mapper or click here for QGIS. We've removed GPSMapEdit from the list of options since it is more intensive. Global Mapper is the easiest, QGIS is more in-depth but automated. The process is very different between Global Mapper and QGIS. We will combine the data into sets of files and then export them into approximately 100k grids. If something is missing go back to the step where the file was created. In this step we will make sure that you have all the required data.

A discussion of how to get trail and FS data is occurring in our forum's, check it out here. If you have any trails they should be have MP_TYPE = 0x16 and the name as NAME. This includes National Forest trails and waypoints. Extra DataД«efore combining the data I would like to make you aware of the fact that additional data exists on the internet.

img files in the next, and final, lesson. mp files which we will then compile into. The 8th part of this tutorial details how we will be combining all the data we downloaded and processed into 100k quad sized segment.
