Hey all, I haven't used Deedmapper in some time and I'm having a problem getting a map (jpg or bmp.) to show up in the program. I recently got the state of NC from TOPO on CD and have copied the area where my plats are into jpg format (I tried bmp also). I've gone through the Deed Mapper help but I can't get my map to show up on the screen. I have the map jpg and the deed file in the same folder. I've gone into View Options and filled in the "feet to inch" and "DPI" info. For DPI I tried 600 and 2400, I've not found that number given in the TOPO software. The other items in the View Options screen are listed as optional, but do I need to have them for it to work? I looked back through the archives and wasn't able to find an answer to this, sorry if I repeating commonly known info. Thanks! Joel http://www.mindspring.com/~jsruss/
Try using a DPI of 120. For a topo map using a scale of 2400 ft inch you need to use a DPE of about 120. This will make your DeedMapper plot the same as the topo map.
