WORLD29 MAPS LLOYD GEOGRAPHY
The Geography Assistant.
Allows you to view any place in the world in various scales.
Learn National capitals. Track hurricanes or anything that
has a location. Single tracks in a collection of tracks can
be plotted. Find distance between locations. Point to a
location and expand the map around that point. Play name
the City! Over 200 cities pinpointed. Add your own cities
to maps. Add your own detailed maps. Color control of line
segments in EGA and VGA modes. Requires graphics and more
than 256Kb.
(Abstracted from the programs documentation)...
GENERAL
Most inputs have a default. If not specified on the screen
the program will use your last response to a specific
request. You can generally default from one display to
another without changing lat & long. A question mark "?"
indicates that WORLD29 is waiting for you---hit ENTER. The
"?" allows you to study the map for as long as you wish
while telling you that the program has finished all drawing.
Due to the default, you must enter something like Lat .00001
and/or Long .00001 to center a map at 0,0 or at any point
with a latitude of 0 or a longitude of 0.(00 01 n will also
work!)
PRINTING MAPS
The complexities of converting LAT & LONG to pen positions
for all the plotters in the world are beyond me. I suggest
that screen prints of my maps be considered satisfactory.
If you have a printer capable of handling screen dumps and
have entered the GRAPHICS, file from DOS you should press
shift-prtsc when you have created the correct map on the
screen. If you want a better map you can create it in a
Supplemental file and set the .CNF file to read your data as
a part of WORLD29. Those having EGA cards should obtain a
dump program which is designed for their printer and takes
the place of GRAPHICS.
