RE: Maps for a route

By 'map', are you refereing to the one that pops up on default routes showing the profile like this one from Marias Pass?If so, you will have to 'build' your own using your 'favorite' paint program. It can have any appearance you want. This example is 800x600 at 24 bit density. When it is done, save it as a TGA format. Then run TGATOOLS and convert it to an ACE format (no alpha). When it is all done, it should sit in your route folder as the file name LOAD.ACEMartyn T. Griffin
