Tony, Not specifically OSGB - but that is one of my sets. File names are like 46250975.L00 The first four digits are the easting in 100s of meters and the second four digits are the northing in 100s of meters i.e. 462500E 97500N The tiles are of a fixed size.

If so I can adapt an mbx we use here for registering raster maps Tony >>> "Tim Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 06/07/2004 09:57:05 >>> Hi List, I am new to mapinfo and I've just managed to register a raster image and create a table for it. I have got lots of raster 'tiles' that make up an entire map. Problem is, I have over a million of them! Obviously I can't manually 'register' all of these maps - I'd be doing it for the rest of my life! What's the best way to do this? If I wrote a tool to automatically create the tables, can mapinfo dynamically choose which tables to display? - because my geoset isn't going to be very happy with 1,000,000 tables. Could I create one table with lots of raster images in it? Our old mapping system dynamically loaded the maps it needed to display based on the filename. The filename contains the easting and northing of the bottom left corner of the image. As far as I know mapinfo can't do this - you need three reference points per image. Besides - I still need to register *all* of the maps. I can't 'stitch' them together. This is too time consuming as we have several sets of a million tiles! I'm thinking that I might need to dynamically create a table and load it whenever the map moves or is zoomed. I'd use MapX to display the maps and I can then do dynamic table manipulation. Damn this is tricky. Thanks for any help listers.
