There are a couple of other OUTLxxxx basemaps available, including one over Europe. I'm at home and don't seem to have 'write permission' in the directories of any of the "public" ftp servers, so I'll post them on Monday. Also, as Ugo said, consider using Shapefiles. At least in the US, the National Weather Service has made available very high resolution map bases. I don't know what they might have posted for the rest of the world...I'll again have to wait until I go back to work, since the URL of their site is on my computer there... tom -- Tom Whittaker University of Wisconsin-Madison Space Science and Eng.
