thanks for the link John, I gave it about a 30 minutes try, and it's really fairly impressive that such a small group of developers made the entire thing. -c...

XJ, First, there are an awful lot of software packages similar to the ones that you mention. In fact, the selection of those 6 seems quite random. You would...
Ben, Which are some of the listed software packages that are most similar with VTP then? I dont' need an in depth analysis of the procs and cons, but rather,...

XJ, Let me try to explain more clearly. When you are comparing two or more software tools, you need to describe the *purpose* for which they are being ...

Hi group, I found the most VTP-file-formats on the VTP-website. But the information about the road-binary-format (rmf) seems to be inexistent. Does anyone know...
Kai, The main reason that i haven't written up the RMF format is that the format is old, messy, and needs to be replaced. The best reference for the format ...
Hi Ben, thank you again for the quick answer ;-) I tried before to get the information out of the source code. But I am not familiar with C++. So I hoped to...
... Definitely, the way to do this is to import the street data into VTBuilder as a Road layer. If you do not see a way to import it, let me know about the...
