Phil:

Very Nice!

What's with, or where is, the "deliverable software"?

You know, you could sell these type of pictures. For example, I am
sure that a picture of the Great Lakes would sell -- as with every
tourist-type topical island.

In fact, it might be interesting to set up a web site for selling
these types of maps -- if you're interested, contact me privately.
