If you use ArcView, there is an extension which allows you to transform = and move features visually.  My approach is to drag Alaska and Hawaii to = where Mexico would normally be so that everything fits on the map.  The = extension is called Register and Transform and can be downloaded from = the ESRI web site at http://www.esri.com Atlas GIS actually comes packaged with State and County geography files = where AL and HI have already been moved just west of CA   ++++====++++====++++====++++====++++====++++====++++====++++====++++====++++ Elio Spinello, MPH Department of Health Sciences California State University, Northridge 18111 Nordhoff St. Northridge, CA 91330-8285   Voice: 818-831-7607  Fax: 831-9078 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Home Page: http://www.csun.edu/~hchsc018 ====++++====++++====++++====++++====++++====++++====++++====++++====++++==== -----Original Message----- From: Dick Hoskins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Maptitude Listserve <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thursday, December 09, 1999 6:47 AM Subject: Continential USA maps, AK & HI I need to make a USA map, but of course AK and HI are rather a long ways from the continental portion. It would be convenient to have a map window with the continental part (I need counties and states on the map) with an inset of AK and HI. Any ideas about how to do this? I do not need a real long/lat reference and any projection that portrays thematic maps Ok is fine, it won't be changed around.   Any ideas about how this caw can this be done?   Dick Hoskins [EMAIL PROTECTED]
