Thanks aas always.

 

Can anyone share how impossible it is to create maps like ythese?

I am familiar with EARTH, but how to place UNIT outlines in a EARTH map
Polygons, can I point to a unit pic  and say mauke it a polygon?

Thanks.

Hump I can't tell you how to do it, but I can tell you how Wayne does it:

The guy is a self-evident technical genius with a mile-wide streak of generosity.  The extent to which we all are indebted to him cannot be overstated.  The benefits of his weekly contributions are enormous!

Wayne would probably laugh for an hour if he could see how I view his weekly map offering.  I had to go to Elmira (Steele Library) to download Earth because I'm still on dial-up.  When I click on his update each week I get a warning that my Earth version is outdated.  They are inviting me to download the latest version from here at home.  I always laugh at that.  Then I wait about fifteen minutes for everything on Wayne's map to fill in.

But in the end I am able to see all of the new and amended units he shows us each week, and all of the map detail, as well.  It just takes a really long time to come in.  I'm still using Earth v5.2 from 2010.  Whether it would work better if I upgraded to the current version I honestly do not know.  It's not an option without another trip to Elmira.  Earth is huge.
