# Custom BSB charts for Olex

> Custom BSB chart creation service for Olex users: MIS turned nautical, terrestrial and aerial imagery sources into BSB (.KAP) raster charts.

## Custom BSB chart creation service

Olex v.8.0 introduced the possibility to load raster charts in BSB format (.KAP).

[Magic Instinct Software](https://www.justmagic.com/en/) with its technical experience in nautical charts (see
[GeoGarage](https://www.geogarage.com) nautical charts web and mobile platform) proposes an activity of
services to Olex users creating BSB files:

- from georeferenced sources: GeoTIFF, ECW, MrSID, GeoPDF formats;
- or non-georeferenced sources: raster files (TIFF, PNG...) or vector (PDF formats) with geographical
  information about map projection and datum (if the map is not in Mercator/WGS84).

Digital sources can be marine maps but also terrestrial (lakes, rivers) for places where not any vector
nautical chart (S-57 or S-63) exists.

We can also use some satellite or aerial imagery sources to create BSB files.
Note: for example, MIS creates from Bing Maps some files of several hundreds of megapixels allowing to
magnify the same map until scale 19 (so a ground resolution of 0.30 meter / pixel and a map scale at
96 dpi of 1:1,100 approximately).

**Important:** MIS doesn't sell KAP maps but just provides the technical service to create BSB charts
from material provided by its customer. The customer must take in charge the copyright issues due to the
use of the original map document.
