WHAT IS IMG MAP ?
An img map is a vector-based geographic mapping format. It is described by individual points, polylines, polygons, icons and colors, all compressed in a single file with file-extension img. The objects are individually rendered in real-time and because it is vector-based there is no loss of original details when zoom-in or out to any level of details.
FREE MAPS - UPLOAD/DOWNLOAD FROM PC/MAC USING ITUNES
It is a popular and preferred format for mapping enthusiasts and interest groups. Open Street Maps are commonly converted to this format before actually use. Lots of maps are freely available for download from the Internet.
