MikroKopter Map-Tool

With our MikroKopter Map-Tool you can create very easy maps for your waypoint navigation.
Each saved map is already georeferenced. The coordinates of the vertices will be saved with the map.
The map view can be saved with a single image or a zoom level.

Save map

• As a single JPG image
  The displayed map can be stored as a single .jpg image. For this select as JPG
  and press the button generate. The image is then saved on your computer. The file name
  consists of the name "mkmapgen" and the current date. Example: mkmapgen.2015_07_22.jpg

  

• As MKZ file with zoom
  If you only press generate (without as JPG) you will get a MKZ File. With this file you
  can zoom the picture in 2 steps in the KopterTool OSD. The MKZ file consists of the name "mkmapgen" and
  the current date. Example: mkmapgen.2015_07_22.mkz

  

  Info:
  The MKZ file is a zipped file which can be opened with any unzipper.
  The file contains an image of the displayed view (mkmapgen.jpg), and an image with
  a zoom level less (mkmapgen1.jpg).
  You can switch between the zoom levels in KopterTool OSD by using the +/- button:
