~ DXT1 Image (To get Image size take actual dimension ( X * Y / 2)
*The Rest of file is currently Unknown
The only offset to this section exists in Static Map Header see: [4] Bytes - Offset in Third Section table (Third Section Offset + these bytes)
*The following entries are very sloppy and jump around quite a bit.
[4] Bytes - always zero?
[4] Bytes - if zero again it will need to read until it is at least reaches 1.

[1] Byte - Indicates more entries. If zero reading is finished.
Here is the Tricky Part. If Offset above leads directly to anything other than zero you read below, else the entry is dead and the loop above is redone.
