FrontMap (Ozi edition)

FrontMap is an unique map calibration tool and produces .map files compatible with Ozi Explorer.

No need to know anything about datums, projections, central meridians and other stuff. It utilize calibration-by-example method: you see sattelite image of the territory and say "It is here!"

Left window contains Google Map. Right window - your map image to be calibrated. You have to find the same territories on the map image and Google Map. Select "Pin Point" after that. Click and drag a point from the left window to the right one. Drop on the map image the point.
