Gentlemen,

Please allow me to express my deepest resentment, from what happened in one of
German Justice halls.
1.An innocent, pregnant, Egyptian woman was murdered by a cold blood racist, not
for any crime but wearing Islamic head cover -Hijab- and being Muslim.
2.That women thought that the German judicial system will protect them from
racist insults and harassment from the men against her. Instead of having her
rights back, she was murdered by the hands of this man inside the court.
3.This is an absolute injustice took place in one of what supposed to be German
justice halls.
4.As it was not enough murdering this lady, German police opened fire on her
husband while he was trying to defend his wife from that outrageous murderer.
THESE ACCIDENTS SHOULD BE INVISTIGATED THROUGHLY.
As a one of numerous angry Egyptians, Muslims, HUMANS please allow me to demand
from your side an immediate action toward fulfilling the justice, and just
retribution from the murderer & assuring preventing such accidents in the
future.


And please accept my best Regards,

An Egyptian citizen

Importing as a DRG worked like a charm. It must have had calibration info
because it worked first time.



Cheers

Dave,

As Hans has sugegcted the dll must be inside the Ozi root follder and
the tif must be imported so that a .map file is generated.

This can be done easily by:

File > Import Map > Single DRG map

Is this tif map a Geotiff (containing calibration info)?
Have you "loaded" and/or calibrated the map file from the File menu in Ozi?

Depending on how much info is available the geotif tags, it is fairly
straight forward loading a GeoTiff in Ozi.
If there is not sufficient info in the tags (which is often the case), you
might need to help Ozi by providing the missing info.

If the map is only a tif image without geotags, you will need to calibrate
it.

See the section on "Importing DRG maps" in the Ozi help file (under Map
Related).

Dear GIS Users Group

According your popular request to test official GIS shape file
against Google Earth maps

We have got access to Census 2000 TIGER/Line® Shapefiles -
Source (http://arcdata.esri.com/data/tiger2000/tiger_download.cfm)

We have tested it against Google Earth map by using Elshayal Smart

We have got a difference of about 20 meters or less than 1 seconds
between the Census 2000 TIGER/Line® Shapefiles and Google Earth map

The Example Map is available in Elshayal Smart GIS Users group Files
