The route is looking great so far. Can you please help me with this. Sorry to get off topic but I would like to build the whole tri state area. First, I downloaded the 1km baseboards from the dls, then I edited them in explorer. After that, I went into Google Earth, and then got a view of the area that I would like to put on the 1km baseboard. I hit Prntscrn on my keyboard, and after that, I replaced the original image file with the one I just got from google earth. Then I commited it in the CMP and viewed it in surveyor. It was bigger than the baseboard, and the picture quality was not as good as the one shown in your route.
After that, I read a couple of tutorials which were a bit difficult to follow, so I just continued with what I was doing. I downloaded the 720x720 baseboards from the dls, and then I edited the basemaps in explorer. Since I don't have photoshop, paint shop pro, or 3dsmax, I just edited the image file with paint.net and gimp 2, then I replaced the orighinal image with the one I had gotten from google earth. After that, I saved it and then commited it in the CMP. For some reason, after I commited it, I viewed it in surveyor, and my map isn't on the 720x720 basemap. It just shows the default image that came with it.
Can you please help me. Are you using the 1km basemap or the 720x720 basemap. If you can, can you give me some step by step instructions on how you got the basemaps and how you got the good detail in them.
