Problems with Irish Grid Ozi .map file

Hi, I'm trying to import a raster map that's been successfully calibrated and used in OziExplorer in Irish Grid / Ireland 1965. When opening the file, GlobalMapper (v11) complains that "The projection of the points in this OziExplorer format file could not be determined ...", and then asks me to select the correct one in the next dialogue, which I then do. The resultant map displays both upside down, and severely compressed in the horizontal plane. If I convert the .map file using another program (Ozi MapMerge) to WGS84, and then import, everything is fine.
Any ideas? I can send the OziExplorer .map file for investigation if required.

If you can post the .map file or send it and the accompanying raster to support@globalmapper.com I can take a look.
Thanks,

OK, both .map and original raster are on their way to you.

I took a look and was able to add support for properly decoding Irish Grid coordinates from .map files. I have placed a new build at http://www.globalmapper.com/global_mapper11.zip with the change for you to try. Simply download that file and extract the contents into your existing v11.xx installation folder to give it a try. If you are using the 64-bit version, there is a new build available at http://www.globalmapper.com/global_mapper11_64bit.zip .
Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Thanks,
Mike
