Might I humbly suggest this new thread, as Victoria looms large before us..?
GREAT images guys. I was out last night and have only just got online, to find Victoria opening up ahead of us... what a fantastic time! ![]() -------------------- |

To overlay my "extreme polars" on the route map, you really need rubber-sheeting (or georectification) software. I would use the various craters and other recognizable features as control points to warp from my view to the map view. I do this at work all the time using GIS software - PCI is what I usually use. But for home use I could really use a free or inexpensive rubbersheeting program. If anyone ever finds one please let me know. (open memo to PCI marketing team: just sell your GCPWorks module as a stand-alone routine for non-GIS-users!)

It is available for Linux, Mac, and Windows. Take a look at http://cemml.carleton.ca:8080/OGUG/Members...logical-mapping. You can find GRASS at http://grass.itc.it/ |
