<div>In Victoria, there is a meet-up group called Victoria
geo-geeks, i can pass it on and ask around if i cant figure it
out :) There is also the osgeo mailing lists who has a wide

of OSM-land)</div>
<div>Other software might be needed in the in-turn for

<div>If it's just .jpg that needs to be stretched mapwarper is a
cool tool for it.</div>
<div><a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://mapwarper.net/">http://mapwarper.net/</a></div>
<div>and depending on the area your looking at, we can see if
their is other datasets that are available, and just not yet in
OSM (but could be, ... if ...)</div>

<div text="#000000" bgcolor="#ffffff"> <font face="Arial">I
am unable to get the InstallImagePlugin to work in JOSM<br>
<br>
GOAL<br>
====<br>
<br>
I have an image of a map that I scanned and I want to
load it into JOSM as an underlay so I can trace the ways
on the map in JOSM.<br>
<br>
PREPARATION<br>
============<br>
<br>
The map file is called map.jpg and I have created a
world file called map.wld<br>
<br>
TRIALS<br>
======<br>
<br>
I don't fully understand the values I need for the world
file, however it represents an area approximately 8
kilometres (West to East) by 6 kilometres (North to
South) and the top left hand edge of the map is
approximately at a latitude of 1.5 (North) and a
longitude of 103.5 (East) so I looked at this link: <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_file"
target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_file</a>
and my file contains these values as a starting point:<br>
<br>
100.0<br>
0.0<br>
0.0<br>
-100.0<br>
103.5<br>
1.5<br>
<br>
When I load the image, the plugin notices that I don't
have a projection file (.prj) so it asks me if I want
the default coordinate system. I choose Yes. Nothing
appears and the scale (top left corner of JOSM goes to
20037.5 and I cannot zoom in or out. I have varied the
values in the world file considerably but with the same
result.<br>
<br>
QUESTIONS<br>
==========<br>
<br>
Has anyone used this plugin?<br>
Can you give me reasonably correct values for my world
file?<br>
Do I need to create a projection file<br>
What do I need to do to make this work?<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
<br>
Peter<br>
