Ah you've been busy Gnuite!

Remember I asked you about using your own scanned maps a week ago on the old thread; I had no joy with Mapfit as i'ts not supported by MM 1.4. However, I have found a microsoft research tool that will allow you to geo reference your own maps - good bit....then it will render that 'warped-to-fit map' into the constiuent 256x256 png bitmaps, naming them as well, at various (or user specified) zoom levels - the neat bit!

All you have to do then is file them correctly, or point to them in the repository some how.......your bit!

MapCruncher is here http://research.microsoft.com/mapcruncher/
- it took about 20 mins to place the tie points for a 4000x4000 UTM projected 1/25k topo map; then 5 minutes processing by the programme.

It also generates an xml file, which may help...this details what tiles have been named how and at what zoom level; this could be used to generate and place tiles into the MM directory structure... I can't seem to attach it, though

See what you think - the fit is v usable - see attachment.
