BletchleyGeek Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) Hello everyone, I just discovered this wonderful application https://www.map.army It allows you make your own maps laying military symbology (2525b) and GIS vector and raster data, over a map of the world. Allows saving the maps to their proprietary format, collaborative editing etc. Edited October 27, 2020 by BletchleyGeek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joking aside - I haven't used it too much yet but, while not perfect, I do quite like the application. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BletchleyGeek Posted November 8, 2020 Author Share Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) Are you based in NSW these days? I used it to illustrate some vignettes for work, it does also "support" emergency response planning. It has limitations - doesn't cover the whole 2525b set - but the other app that I knew offering similar features, Milsym, doesn't work very well under Windows 10. I have still to try its overlays, and see what you can do with historical maps. Edited November 8, 2020 by BletchleyGeek 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to use Milsketch for symbols but couldn't get on with the overlays as they were bloody fiddly. I do most of my stuff mandraulically by screen shotting the map and then adding symbols in Powerpoint. No good if you need geo referenced data but good enough for a briefing map. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check it out, you may find it useful. 18 hours ago, Combatintman said: Sadly not now mate - had to return to the UK for family reasons I hope you find your way back down under some time soon. I don't love Sydney, but the Southern Highlands, and the coastlines north of Newcastle and south of Wollongong have a dear place in my heart. PS: playing Verdenne or Victory over PBEM as the US Army. Great map, tactical situation very hairy. Where is the third company of my battalion? Got lost in the mist? Great scenario! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerKommissar Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Wow, this would have saved me a lot of trouble with the Dynamic Campaign maps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
