Thanks Peter, that's appreciated!
I have now tried the links in the other replies (which do involve your suggestion). They do work very well especially when combined with imported shapefiles and my own custom overlay - UK Shipping Forecast areas.
I don't know if you remember, but Weasel created some very excellent topographic maps to use in DA. Unfortunately he no-longer uses the forum and I've lost his contact address. He also set out details showing how to use up-to-date global satellite cloud pictures, which after a little setting up, could be used as a background for DA. Unfortunately, I've not been able to retrieve these, so maybe they're discontinued.
My ultimate aim here is to find some transparent contours to add to the base-maps, similar to the way the met agencies use on their charts....
Anyway, thanks again Peter,
Take care,
Dave.
