Radio Mobile - RF propagation simulation software

Inside the .geo file is the filename of the map image, two reference points (x/y pixels), lat and long in decimal degrees.

File location:

The location of the file is not mandatory

Variables:

The fields must be separated by tabs, not spaces The first line refers to which image it is for, this is for future use.

Any line starting with '#' is a comment

You have to have 2 "TIEPOINTs", these associate a lon/lat with any x/y of the image. The X and Y are in pixels of the IMAGE, the LON and LAT are that LON/LAT values of the POINT specified by X,Y. The more accurate that you have this, the better the image map will work. The second point MUST be to the right and below the first point. It is best to have the first point as close to the top left as possible and the second point as close to the bottom right as possible.

The images MUST be ORTHOGONAL, this means that the map lines up square with lat/lon.

Variable Comment

Latitude1 Latitude in degrees.decimal-degrees of the 1st point in the raster image.
x2 x-part of the 2nd point in the raster image in pixels
y2 y-part of the 2nd point in the raster image in pixels
Longitude2 Longitude in degrees.decimal-degrees of the 2nd point in the raster image.
Latitude2 Latitude in degrees.decimal-degrees of the 2nd point in the raster image.
