I have created a TIF image of an area and calibrated it with OziExplorer.
Then rescaled the TIF to make several zoom layers and calibrated those too.
Then I used TBcutter to generate the set of map pieces.
So, I think I have all the pieces to make a tarred atlas.
But I'm having trouble with UNIX tar utility for Windows. I'm not too good with commandline utilities.
Do you think I can use 7zip to make a proper tar archive?
I've tried a few times but have failed to make one that will work with Trekbuddy. Always seems to be missing the right files in order to work correctly.
Thanks for any guidance.

Extract "exe" file into atlas folder and double-click.

jTBtar worked great!

Thank you very much.

Atlas Creation from Maps

If you have got tarred Maps you can combine them to an Atlas. For that you only need an additional tar-file, which can be created easily. The following cmd-File achieves that under Windows by using 7zip which is assumed to be located in C:\cmd. Copying the maps-directories in the atlas-directory, copying the cmd-file into the atlas directory and starting it worked fine for me...

Have a look at the cmd-File-Contents. It first extracts the map-Files from the map-tar-files, then creates the tba-file, combines all in the atlas-tar-file and then deletes the tba- and all map-files (BE CAREFUL if you have *.tba or *.map files of your own, try it at your own risk...):


for /R %%i in (*.tar) do (c:\cmd\7za x "%%i" *.map && move *.map "%%~pi")
pause
cls
echo Atlas 1.0>cr.tba
c:\cmd\7za a -r -ttar cr.tar cr.tba *.map
pause
cls
for /R %%i in (*.map) do del "%%i"
pause
del cr.tba
