So how do you save the .dmf file. I can save the .bmp file to the DAWS program files folder, but the .dmf file is another thing.

Also, where does the satellite images come from? Where would I get those to import?

Wow! That works really good. Thanks! Now how did you generate the map? Did you just have to fiddle w/ it until you got the right lat./long/ and the aspect ratios, etc?

Does anyone have any other generated satellite/model maps they would share. I can't seem to get anything to line up in DAWS, so ...

What is a mercator image anyway?

Thanks for trying and for everyone's help!
