vhclmaps vpfviewer

Introduction

vhclmaps vpfviewer is an interactive map viewer for Vector Product Format (VPF) map databases. It supports the Digital Chart of the World Edition 1 database (or the VMAP Level 0 world-wide database). It supports map layer display of both the summary world map (browse or rference) and the four detailed tiled libraries on each CD-ROM (North America, Europe/Northern Asia, South America/Africa/Antartica and Southern Asia/Australia.) It is capable of displaying these databases with multiple projections, allowing inspection of map feature attributes, and export of map features to ivtools drawing editors.
