Hi, Can you tell me how do you create the reference map in ArcView?..since I have an ArcView installation...
One more thing, I have tried my demodata today with the newest p.mapper 1 intermediate version. I have set the extents properly and my map showed correctly (state polygons and cities). What is the right place to modify for my custom searches? I have done some modification and I can find a city, but when it finds it changes the scale ot a very large number so I have a highlihted point on the middle of the map? What am I doing wrong? regards, dejan > -----Original Message----- > From: Armin Burger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, November 07, 2005 4:52 PM > To: Gambin Dejan > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [Pmapper-users] New intermediate versions > > > Dejan, > > I typically use ArcView to create the reference map image and > return the extent of this image.
