Default Re: MAPS!

For map makers that don't already know this.

Here is a tip.

Use this url:

https://satellites.pro/

Do a search for say Berlin in the search box.

Now grab the URL or just the latitude and longitude. So for the above search this comes back in the url field:

https://satellites.pro/#52.523300,13.413770,19

So continuing with this example grab the latitude of: 52.523300 and the longitude of: 13.413770.

Place that in a text editor and then modify the default venhola url in the text editor replacing the lat & long like so:

http://www.venhola.com/maps/geo.php?...3.413770&rot=0

Make sure you don't mess up the url string (i.e., you need to keep the characters in bold text and just replace the numbers, and some lat/long may have a - number in them: ?lat=12.123456789&lo=12.1234567&rot=0)

Now you can adjust and download and then just load the map into either WW2 or MBT and hit strip map if you have the extended editor to reveal the contours. Then edit the map to your heart's content.
