[talk-ph] test site for ph mapwarper

[Mark Cupitt]

Maning, that is a wonderful site, I have been recifying these maps using a
package called OziExplorer, but it has not worked well at all, we were
using them for airbourne navigation as an additional option on a handheld
Win PDA
This is a much better option and a GeoTiff can be downloaded

Thanks for sharing
