Agreeing on a common border with Navigasi maps.

[LLCC]

Read with delight, that our forum's boss Antyong and Navigasi's Silhouette are working on a common mapping project.

I'd like to suggest that MFM work out an agreed common border (map boundary) between Indonesia and Malaysia in the South China Sea, Straits of Malacca, and between Singapore and Indonesia in the Straits of Singapore, with Navigasi and any other cooperative mapping forums, so travelling between mapset to mapset in these areas are made smoother.

I'm suggesting this because I've made a couple of trips from Sinapore to Riau, and it looks like the polygon for MFM's Straits of Singapore is overlapping and covering many islands of Riau in Navigasi's Indonesia map, both of which I have installed via Mapsource, into my 76CSx.

It becomes a fiddly exercise when crossing the straits into Riau, pressing buttons to navigate the various menus of the 76CSx to disable the MFM mapset in order to reveal the Riau islands of Navigasi's map which is underneath. To make matters more exciting, staring at the tiny screen to execute this while trying to sail a boat bobbing up and down in the high traffic of the channel puts some adrenaline into the exercise, and some queasiness in the guts.

I've not tried from Penang to Acheh or Tioman to Anambas, but I think without a common agreed boundary, there will be some form of polygon overlaps in these places too.

So I hope an agreement can be arrived at soon, to make both our maps even that much better and user friendly too.

Cheers,

LL

From the links, select Rapidshare links, and you can even download the smaller splitted parts as opposed to 100+MB file in one go. And I think the other Indonesian link is good only for Indonesian ISPs.
