I looked over your map, are you sure you did not refer to my map?
So many of our points are exactly the same.

Hello.
My maps are based on photos satellite of the N.A.S.A.
I used utility "BMP to BIC utility of Jonh Avram"

Yes, I assumed you had use a utillity program to create your map, however it is still obvious that you refered to mine in many areas. There are so many spots on both our huge sized 256 by 256 maps, that are the identical down to the exact coordinates. Furthermore, the places your map mimicks mine are only in the most difficult spots to do - areas that a utility program will not be as effective, such as Italy.

I can give you over a dozen other locations that our coordinates match up perfectly. Lets say for a second that I am that good - even though I did not use any utility - the funny part about this is that your 'satelite map' deviates in places except for the tough ones where it mimicks mine.

assumed you had use a utillity program but I know for certain you refered to my map. There is no way you can line up so many places that are identical on our maps down to the exact coordinates. Furthermore, the places your map mimicks mine are in the most difficult spots to do - places that a utility program will not be as effective, such as Italy.

On a 256 by 256 map, how is it that I can give you over a dozen key spots that our coordinates match up perfectly. Lets say for a second that I am that good - even though I did not use a utility. The funny thing is, your 'satelite map' deviates in places except for the tough ones where it mimicks mine.

Looking at someone else work then using it as reference is fine, but at least you should state that... or are you saying you never referred to the TETurkhan map?

My map is not based on TETurkhan.
I never had downloaded his map until today.
I repeat . My maps are based on photos satellite of the N.A.S.A.

Nunca lo había bajado hasta hoy.
Repito. Mis mapas están basados en fotos satelites de la N.A.S.A.

ok buddy, if I am wrong I will be the first to apologize, can I get the map you used to make your 256by256 Civ map with- the Nasa one?

Let me give this utility a try and see what I come up with - sound cool to you?

I was hoping to get the nasa map you used to make your world map with - the one you used with the utility to come up with your map.

Don't you have a more detailed version of the map I can download? Or will this work?

1. File
2. Load bitmap
3. Generate map
4. The program generates a file bic (BmpToBicOutput.bic)
5. Trabajar.

 

[TETurkhan]

My apologizes, with so many identical coordinates, I was very certain you referred to my map. Guess this means my map is similar to Nasa's - that's a plus

3 of my 19 maps are done with this utility.
