If anyone can do that sort of coding, I would also be very interested in it.
I agree (if this is what you meant) that this would be a bit wide for a DLL/library. And I thought that this forum was meant for wishes for features of Basic4PPC itself rather than for additional libraries or for contributed applications.

But I draw your attention to the "Scaled Maps" application that mentions that it does geo-referencing to lat/long (but only two points so no compensation for skew) and does not have any connection to GPS input.

But the latter doesn't sound very onerous! Especially since GPS4PPC includes a GUI for choosing datum and so forth. Can't be long before someone stitches the two together...

Mike.
