FAQ
MAPML to CG4 Conversion
What are MAPML files?
MAPML (Map Markup Language) is a text format for maps on the web, designed to work like HTML does for web pages. A MapML document describes a map layer in readable markup: the tiles of a background map, or points, lines, and polygons with their descriptions, and it can link to other maps and layers the way a web page links to other pages. The goal of the format is to make maps a native part of the web, so that a map can be placed on a page with a single tag, without any special programming, and so that search engines and assistive technologies can understand it. It is developed by the Maps for HTML Community Group of the W3C and is still an experimental proposal, but it is already used in services such as those of Natural Resources Canada and in GeoServer.
What are CG4 files?
CG4 is a raster format associated with CALS (Continuous Acquisition and Life-Cycle Support) — a program initiated by the US Department of Defense to capture and link military data. CG4 is compatible with a very limited number of digital graphics programs. Files with this extension contain a bitmap that often uses the CCITT4 compression, which is an old fax machine standard used for black-and-white images.
