Precision Mapping Streets and Traveler 8.0 only includes highways and
streets in the United States and Canada, coastal outlines and country borders in the rest
of the world. However, it is possible to add shape files and underlay bitmaps to
create fully zoomable maps of anywhere in the world. While these maps will not be as
detailed and accurate as the regular US and Canada maps, they can provide an alternative
to using raster maps in Ui-View.
The following images were created with PMap 8.0 using imported DCW (Digital Chart of the
World) shp files. The DCW shp files included roads, rivers, and lakes. The
image below shows coastal, country outlines and major cities as provided by PMap 8.
The lakes, rivers, and roads are from the DCW shp files imported by PMap 8 Import Manager.
You can zoom in to see more detail. The dark blue lakes are from DCW.
Here are map images of Oslo, Norway at different zoom levels.
