I bought a new computer in September and it works fine, howver I still
havent been able to get into this "Map" because it is a PDF file, which
are all complate wastes of time. A Gif would be a much better solution
with a Bmp for those who want good quality.


The pdf map is a vector graphic - much better for scaling and zooming
than any bitmap.

I do have a thing against people who put bitmaps in pdfs or create
them with out actually checking if they work properly, but done well
pdfs are a very portable format.

Also try selcting the text off a bitmap and see where it gets you.
