Bitmapped images don't scale well. When you zoom in, the pixels get larger, rather than more pixels being added. For purposes of map-making, it seems like a vector-based system would work better. -- John F. Eldredge -- j...@jfeldredge.com "Reserve your right to think, for even to think wrongl

Speaking as a non-German, I find "tree-lined" more specific. In American usage, "avenue" is just a synonym for "street" or "road", with no connotation of tree-lined or not tree-lined. An "alley" in American usage is a narrow service road, generally only one lane wide, used for low-speed access
