SMapCountry use always a mercator shape ?

[EArminjon]

Just to know. When calling SMapIndia or SMapFrance, we always have a map 100% Mercator ?

@EArminjon I am not sure, when developing this package I just used available Maps online
So it is hard to say if the map is Mercator

Also not all maps have the GEO locations included.

Okay :'(

@LauDijksterhuis from where did you get the map SVGs ? I'm curious

Hi @EArminjon ,

I used different sources for each map, when I find a SVG map, I throw it into a simple encoder app which I developed to create consistent strings with instructions and GEO box is possible. Not all maps would come out well which required me to either edit the SVG file or find a different map of the country that DOES convert well to the instructions string.

Oh i see, huge manual work. Ty for this info.

Is there a possibility to get the encoder?
I'd be happy to revise some maps that change and maybe make new ones.

Thanks!
