Thanks for the help guys.
I've spent the evening playing with the map in Google earth, I'll play in
Expert GPS soon.
Things don't quite match up using Google earth, perhaps I'll get a better
result in with Expert GPS.
Jim, the original map I scanned was 42" by 80", even at 100 DPI the file
size is is pretty huge.
Will a half size or quarter size image work just as well for you?
I'm having to convert from a PDF...My graphics guy at work is going to help
me with this.
Mike
