The maps have been processed with a tool that doesn't preserve georeferencing metadata such as coordinate system and datum. You'll have to figure out what coordinate system they're really in and use gdal_translate to install the proper information. README.MAPS has some information about that. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "Argue for your limitations and sure enough, they're yours." -- R.
