Created using a Lambert projection that makes north not straight up -- not a Good Thing in the absence of lines of latitude & longitude. I may redo this one. Don't know why Gimp made the letters so fuzzy, though it may have to do with antialiasing on a transparent layer. Kbh3rd 17:05, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Thanks for making the map. I notice the scale seems a bit off too; it's farther than 6 km from Port Moody to the mouth of Burrard Inlet, indeed, probably closer to 20 km. Derek K. Miller 12:41, 3 Sep 2004 (PDT)
- That so? I'll definitely redo this. I used ArcView 2.x from ESRI and data from the Canadian guv'mint, as noted. I wonder where the problem is? Thanks for the feedback. -- Kbh3rd 22:14, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Scale
editThe scale is really way off. The 10km distance is in fact about 70km.
- As noted in the previous section. I have trimmed the bottom of the image to remove the scale as it's too egregious an error to leave hanging around. I'll regenerate that with an accurate scale when I get a chance. Don't know what went wrong -- I'd be real surprised if ArcView made that error. Perhaps when working on the image I scaled an individual layer rather than the whole image. In any case, I'll double-check that it looks reasonable before uploading with a new scale. Thanks for the info. -- Kbh3rd 14:55, 8 Sep 2004 (UTC)
