Thanks :)<br>
I just used your tile BBOX so then the link is in the chart.<br>
...<br>
We always use <a href="http://geogratis.gc.ca/geogratis/en/product/search.do?id=28954" target="_blank">http://geogratis.gc.ca/geogratis/en/product/search.do?id=28954</a><br>
But since it's hard to get the BBOX your method is awesome :)<br>
<br>
What do you think of the googleDoc chart?<br>
<br>
I tried it for that tile you listed in there.<br>
<br>
What area are you in?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Sam<br>

Sorry for not escaping the URLs properly. The second one should be<br>
this:<br>
<<a href="http://www.steggink.org/geo/nts_area/021L14" target="_blank">http://www.steggink.org/geo/nts_area/021L14</a>>. (should work with those<br>
brackets).<br>

Hi Sam,<br>
<br>
No, I haven't looked at the Googledoc charts yet. Too busy with other stuff, among which mapping :) I'm living in Quebec City, that's why I used it as a sample.<br><font color="#888888">
