The software environment is the Chinese version of MapInfo 7.0 SCP, which uses the cracking license file in the 7.0 English version provided by FTP.
The bitmap is obtained on Google earth. then, you can use the autostitch.exe software to merge the maps to obtain the complete beiyou map. When merging the maps, pay attention to the parameter settings. Otherwise, the distorted map may be used.
After obtaining the map bitmap, import it using MapInfo to find at least three special points on the map that are not in the same line (to facilitate identification ), find the longitude and latitude of these special points on Google Erath, and then locate these special points on MapInfo. In this way, the map bitmap has a standard latitude and longitude mark.
Create a new surface layer, overwrite the New Surface Layer on the bitmap map, and draw a polygon on the new surface layer as a polygon layer. in the same way, create a road layer and a landmark layer, draw on these new surfaces, and then draw the bitmap at the bottom layer, the feature layers with the coordinate system of longitude and latitude are obtained. After exporting the layers, multiple MapInfo Map Files suffixed With MIF are obtained.
