But you could import the vector image in flash/flex. Draw an invisible grid over it to create some sort of long / lat coordinats. Or maybe just move to the google / yahoo map API's. I guess GoogleMap API can do this. But you are working on javascript ..

Angelo, You will need a specialised solution for this, like UMN Mapserver with PHP/Mapscript. If you need some real, local, help, mail me off list, and I will see about you guys paying me to do this for you (at SA prices) ;) Seriously though, you won't get what you want with GD... --Paul All Email originating from UWC is covered by disclaimer http://www.uwc.ac.za/portal/public/portal_services/disclaimer.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
