It was based and verified on the egg harbor/ great bay charts. If you (or anybody else) have a use for a copy, send me your address and I would be happy to send it. Alas, I did it in a cad program to have strict dimensional control and would probably go through change if I translated it to bitmap for electronic transfer. I print it on laser mylar. I had thought that the UTM coordinate system were for areas where nautical charts were not available and one must rely on a terra based map. -- Gabriel L Romeu http://studiofurniture.com -------> furniture http://users.aol.com/romeugp ---> paintings, prints, photos + stuff http://members.xoom.com/gabrielR --> a daily journal of observations *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Apr 08 1999 - 09:13:45 PDT
