FAQ
MAP to EPI Conversion
What are MAP files?
MAP is an extension used by three unrelated geographic formats. In OziExplorer, a popular program for navigation with scanned maps, a .map file is a small text file that ties a map picture to places on the Earth, so that a GPS position can be shown on the image. In PCRaster, a modelling system of Utrecht University for environmental processes such as water flow and erosion, a .map file is a raster of numbers, for example elevation or land use. In WAsP, the wind resource program of the Technical University of Denmark, a .map file is a vector map of height contours and roughness lines of the terrain, which is used to estimate how wind behaves at a site and how much energy a wind turbine would produce.
What are EPI files?
EPI (Encapsulated Interchange Script) is an interchange format associated with Adobe Illustrator and represents a vector file used by graphic designers to create and edit drawings. EPI files can contain maps, logos, page layouts or several other types of drawings including text and graphics. Due to their vector format, EPI files can be incompatible with most popular image viewers.
