I do notice that almost all the maps have a body of water that's ocean level to line everything up.

Vikings Grand Canyon map has Lake Mead to the east. I just wonder how viking did the map_T.tga with all the different RGB's colors and such fine detail(Peaks are where they should be as well as lowlands, dry washes and roads.)?

And I checked out the Hankow Map ands its very detailed also. The person who did it said it took only 3 hours!!! It took me about a half hour to draw the Volacno track on Manam....LOL

I wonder if I could just draw a jagged line in a corner with the Sea level colorRGB7, I believe, and use that to line things up?

Then when I want to add all the different RGB's for Mountain tops and dry washes,roads...etc. reduce the opacity of map_T.tga and put a satellite image under that in a temp layer(in Gimp), to get the location of everything, then draw the RGB's on the map_T.tga?

I hope I got all the .tga letters right.

Thank You for the fast reply.

Best regards,
