<P><FONT SIZE=2>Curt,</FONT>
</P>
<P> <FONT SIZE=2>That seems pretty reasonable. In general I end up using either shape</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>files or WinAPRS formatted maps for zoomed out tracking of large areas. </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>When I zoom in for tight work I flip to geotiffs or something like it</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>(DRGs now).</FONT>
</P>
<P> <FONT SIZE=2>The current work I'm doing for the government will be using about a</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>10km*10km area and DRGs are the map of choice for them.</FONT>
