Hmmmm.... Once upon a time I was going to fix up the USGS Historic Topo maps. I have an application which will show you a bitmap alongside Terraserver tiles. You can pick a point on one, and pick a point on the other, and it will save a text file containing pairs of ((northing, easting), (x,y)). The theory was that I was going to triangulate these, and then pixel-map one triangle to the other. This work got interrupted by the guy who did simple georeferencing of the maps, which was good enough for my purposes. You're welcome to the part that I already wrote. -- --my blog is at http://blog.russnelson.com | You can do any damn thing Crynwr sells support for free software | PGPok | you want, as long as you 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315-323-1241 | don't expect somebody else Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | Sheepdog | to pick up the pieces. _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.burri.to/mailman/listinfo/geowanking
