If you generate a base map (and I use something like 55.73 / 4.95 / 3250 for making it fit to satellite images) and go back to generate map, sometimes (but not always) lat/long are rounded 56 / 5, while scale is changed into 3249.497, next time 3249.494 etc. Also the name of the style changes.

I use Wxtoimg for receiving APT-satellites. Below an abstract of an article I wrote for the GEO Quarterly (see http://www.geo-web.org.uk ). In the RIG-journal 73 (june 2003) is an article by Thomas Scheelen ( http://www.rig.org.uk ). He uses some modules of David Taylor like HRPT-reader and Groundma...
