Thanks for the advice. I've ODD (issues with the date format [:@]. Cannot Load Dumped files, not bad look... will give it a try later). As i read, people don`t use BioEd anymore? (ODD supersedes BioED in TOAW III?). Besides, the grid ODD lays is fixed (or am i missed?) so i can't center the grid as i wish. Since Google Maps have a scale bar (left bottom corner) i can manually, but accurately fix to the scale wanted via Photoshop (+ keep aspect ratio). The worst problem is when the scale is too small (i.e 2.5 km) and the territory covered needs scrolling. Then i have to make more captures of the webmaps and assemble them later. Should not be a problem, cause just overlapping the captures we get an expanded image. And as we got plenty of references it should be a child's task. With this technique I could get that Bizerte-Bushehr scaled that harasshed ColinWright here although Bushehr beeing where Christ shouted Twice! Then plot the hexe grid centered (scaled at 10 km per exe)in Bizerte for convenience. Turn the image 60º (or as i wish) or turn the grid or both... Besides thinking of it, the whole task will be nice for making aerial recon photo facsimiles for the briefing, or resize it for postage stamps and award medals [:D] I dont have tried those huge map makings yet, but if anybody has a map idea and no other sources, i could try to hexe-grid it.
