.TH MAP 6

.SH NAME
|

|
|
map \- digitized map formats
|
||
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
Files used by
|
||
|
|
.IR map (7)
|
||
|
|
are a sequence of structures of the form:
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
.EX
|
||
|
|
struct {
|
||
|
|
signed char patchlatitude;
|
||
|
|
signed char patchlongitude;
|
||
|
|
short n;
|
||
|
|
union {
|
||
|
|
struct {
|
||
|
|
short latitude;
|
||
|
|
short longitude;
|
||
|
|
} point[n];
|
||
|
|
struct {
|
||
|
|
short latitude;
|
||
|
|
short longitude;
|
||
|
|
struct {
|
||
|
|
signed char latdiff;
|
||
|
|
signed char londiff;
|
||
|
|
} point[\-n];
|
||
|
|
} highres;
|
||
|
|
} segment;
|
||
|
|
};
|
||
|
|
.EE
|
||
|
|
where
|
||
|
|
.B short
|
||
|
|
stands for 16-bit integers and there is no padding within or between
|
||
|
|
.BR structs .
|
||
|
|
Shorts are stored in little-endian order, low byte first.
|
||
|
|
To assure portability,
|
||
|
|
.I map
|
||
|
|
accesses them bytewise.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
Fields
|
||
|
|
.L patchlatitude
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.L patchlongitude
|
||
|
|
tell to what
|
||
|
|
10-degree by 10-degree
|
||
|
|
patch of the earth's surface a segment belongs.
|
||
|
|
Their values range from \-9 to 8 and from \-18 to 17,
|
||
|
|
respectively, and indicate the coordinates of the
|
||
|
|
southeast corner of the patch in units of 10 degrees.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
Each segment of
|
||
|
|
.RB | n |
|
||
|
|
points is connected; consecutive segments
|
||
|
|
are not necessarily related.
|
||
|
|
Latitude and longitude
|
||
|
|
are measured in units of 0.0001 radian.
|
||
|
|
If
|
||
|
|
.B n
|
||
|
|
is negative, then
|
||
|
|
differences to the first and succeeding points
|
||
|
|
are measured in units of 0.00001 radian.
|
||
|
|
Latitude is counted positive to the north and
|
||
|
|
longitude positive to the west.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The patches are ordered lexicographically by
|
||
|
|
.L patchlatitude
|
||
|
|
then
|
||
|
|
.LR patchlongitude .
|
||
|
|
A printable
|
||
|
|
index to the first segment of each patch
|
||
|
|
in a file named
|
||
|
|
.I data
|
||
|
|
is kept in an associated file named
|
||
|
|
.IB data .x\f1.
|
||
|
|
Each line of an index file contains
|
||
|
|
.L patchlatitude,
|
||
|
|
.L patchlongitude
|
||
|
|
and the byte position
|
||
|
|
of the patch
|
||
|
|
in the map file.
|
||
|
|
Both the map file and the index file are ordered by
|
||
|
|
patch latitude and longitude.
