    1. Another Follow Up - Digital KGS Maps
    2. Bill Utterback
    3. My friends - I apologize for again adding to your mail load today. I have received a number of inquiries about the difference between the digital CD version of the JP KGS maps and the hard copy(paper) version. I should have explained that in more detail in my original posting. Several years ago, I bought a collection of original printings of the KGS Series VI maps of KY counties. I had duplication masters created for each of the JP counties. From those, I have made available archival *paper* copies of individual counties which had a cost of $13.00 for *each* county, and I still have those for folks who would rather work with a paper map, than with a digital image of the map. Some of these paper maps are as large as 36" x 48". The CD version, now available, contains JPG images of *all* of the KGS Series VI maps for all counties of the JP region. In other words, there are 8 images on the CD, with each image holding a map of a different county. These are all on the CD, which is also $13.00, which is a boon, from a dollar cost standpoint, to those who can work with the maps in a digital format, right on the computer. The images can be enlarged via the software's zoom capabilities, to the point that one can almost get right down to ground level, parts of each map can be printed(or all of a county can be printed, if the zoom ratio is such that the entire map will fit on a standard letter size sheet - it will be very small though, since the originals are very large). I hope the above helps to clarify the differences. -B =================================================================
