Problem with lambert Azimuthual Equal Area map /WGS 84 (from Reise-know-how publisher)

Hi orux,
just bought a OZIExplorer compatible map - hoping to use it with oruxmaps. Extraction with demapper worked fine. Problems started as i opened the .map file within OruxMapsDesktop: "Projection not recognized - chose manually". Looking into the map file, I realized the projection type is: Lambert Azimuthual Equal Area. Due to the map's dimensions a quick trial with the "Flat earth" option only provided very inaccurate results.

Do I have the chance to calibrate this map correctly for orux usage?
Is the calibration / projection information (contained in the map file) sufficient?

thx
Markus

Hi, Markus;

Current version does not support this projection, but do not worry, I am going to add it to OruxMaps.
