GeoTiff2RMP

A simple command-line converter from GeoTiff raster format with WGS84 projection to RMP fromat used by Magellan Triton/Explorist GPS units.

Code was based on RMPCreator project https://github.com/antalos/RMPCreator, but got a few important improvements.

Dependencies:

1. python2.7
2. gdal binaries
3. pillow (python-pil)
4. rasterio (optional, https://github.com/mapbox/rasterio)
5. python-gdal (optional)

Restrictions:

input map should be in WGS84 projection works only on linux (other OS untested) license is unclear, due to no license file in RMPCreator project

Example usage:

Convert map to WGS84 projection:

• gdalwarp -t_srs WGS84 -tr 0.00014 0.000077 -overwrite Arbalet-MO_All_300DPI.map arbalet_wgs84.tiff
• The correct command is gdaltransform. I don't know the syntax.

Run GeoTiff2RMP:

• ./geotiff2rmp.py -o arbalet.rmp arbalet_wgs84.tiff

Unpack the map, add appropriate cvg_map.msf and cprt_txt.txt then repack file.

Upload map to your Magellan unit and mark it to display
