GDAL supports only Ozi .map files associated with GIF and OZF2/OZFx3
image files.
I opened an enhancement ticket about this problem two years ago :
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/3380
To solve it, in late 2010 I started the implementation of a new GDAL
driver, that would consider .map files not as calibration files, but as
virtual raster files (since they contain the paths of the image files).
That way, the driver would support any raster format already supported
by GDAL (JPEG, PNG, GIF, ECW, BSB, ...).
I planned to submit several small patches for inclusion of this driver
in GDAL trunk. The first one has been sent in this ticket :
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/3929
Unfortunately, this patch is still waiting in Trac. I'll wait until it
is accepted before continuing my work.
