Hi;
I want to create a 3D map of the Catskills, with trails and roads. I use Trainz Railroad Simulator TS12 to create the final product, but first I need the GeoReferenced maps showing the trails.
I have done this using my NY/NJ TC map sets, but it is a tedious and lengthy process to scan the maps, then size them to fit as overlays in Google Earth. I have done this for the Northeast section of the Cats, but that is the extent of my work thus far.
I am working with an application called "TransDem" which takes the various file types (DEM, Raster, and route) and allows the maps to be georeferenced once they are captured in Google Earth. Finally, the file is processed and exported so that Trainz can import the file and create a 3D map.
I am working with WMS and Map Tile Servers in TransDem, hoping to find a topo map that shows the major trails, but so far the only maps I have seen that show any of the trails (usually only the AT and possibly the LP) are not georeferenced.
Can anyone tell me where I might find a WMS (Web Mapping Service) or Map Tile Server that would have topo or image maps that show trails?
As this project is strictly for my own use, I am not concerned with copyright, and I do not want to pay for the maps.
Thanks for your help
