Thanks, will do !

Getting a bigger nav map in a wide screen GUI is so far a hard nut to crack. The .raw files are twice as wide as tall (for example 6000x3000 in pixels). Only the top third of the file is used for the map image, in the example the map would appear in a band 6000x1000 along the top of the image. The bottom two thirds appears empty. In the top band the worlds land masses appear 3 sequential times. Somehow this is mapped to the nav window and allows zooming to occur. Countless tweaks to maps.cfg and termaps.cfg and resizing of .raw files to no avail so far... most tweaks cause the nav map to be "tiled" i.e selecting different sections of the .raw file and pasting them into the map. Its all ok once you zoom into tiles but at high zooms its a mess !

thanks again,

terry
