As my first map making project, I tried to create map covering the south east part of
Baltic sea, including Pillau (=Baltiysk) to Koenigsberg (Kaliningrad). It seems to be
overlooked by the map creators, in spite of being the area of interesting WWII battles.
I d/l the files :
srtm_40_01, srtm_40_02, srtm_41_01, and srtm_41_02,
then working according to kevinp's manual Map_building_for_beginners,
I created "Pillau colour.bmp" and "Pillau grey.bmp" files.
When I compared these maps with the Google Maps of the same area, there is substantial
disagreement as it concerns the coastal line,especially in the area of Pillau and that of
Koenigsberg .
Am I doing something wrong, or am I to repair the coastal line by Gimp?
Any suggestion would be welcome.
EDIT:
The map of Koenigsberg-Pillau area was suiccesfully finished and works well in Il2, even if not yet populated, and with the above errors of the coastal line.
