Custom map - satellite+MGRS grid+topo lines

Сообщение barney2x4 » 02 сен 2015, 05:40

Greetings!

First of all, I would like to apologize for writing in English, my Russian is bad and I don't think I can get my point across. I am not a GIS expert, nor am I a SAS Planet expert or whatever, however I do use it and currently I am trying to do something for which I cannot find any information.
I need a map that has Google (or Nokia, or whatever) satellite imagery as it's map (base layer), altitude contour lines and a MGRS grid. The altitude contour lines - I can choose Google's terrain map as a map but not it's contours for a layer. I found something in Layers>MapSurfer>Altitude contour (OpenMapSurfer) which is kind of what I am looking for but it is too small and I can't seem to find a way to make the lines more visible (they are extremely thin) and I need this for a map which I can take out in the field, so this is useless as it is. The MGRS grid - I found a .kml file -
https://www.google.bg/url?sa=t&rct=j&q= ... 24&cad=rja
When it's opened in Google Earth it's kind of OK, but it cannot be opened in SAS Planet (or at least I don't know how). I can probably use Excel to create a number kml file for the gridlines for the area that I need (which is about 3x5km and I need a 100x100m grid), but the altitude contour lines remain a mystery for now.

Thank you in advance for your help! :)

The MGRS grid is no longer an issue. As for the altitude (topo) lines - can they be found in separate .kml files or something?

Why?

It's hard, but you can create them by youself. Instruction (rus): http://gis-lab.info/qa/saga-srtm-preprocessing.html or OSM wiki (eng): http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contours
And I found set of generated contours in *.shp format: http://www.opendem.info/download_contours.html

Hi!
The MGRS grid is no longer an issue because I found a solution that suits me - I loaded the .kml file for the MGRS grid from Nearby.org.uk into Google Earth. It basically calculates and draws the grid over the zone you are currently looking at. I just saved it as a .kml file (kind of like manual caching, haha) and loaded it onto SAS Planet. Works like a charm. Now I just have to rearrange the labels, but I know how to do it, I just haven't done it yet.

As for the other stuff - thank you very much, I'll get right on it and see if I can manage. Once again - thanks!
