package, but takes about 1/2 an hour to
rectify a scan chart, doesn't have any options for what math it uses
when
generating the Georeferenced chart, so the edges fall off sharply if
you can
not get the edges rectified close enough. Also, takes FOREVER to
generate
a GeoTIFF! anywhere from an hour to 1.5 hours. I though it was may
machine, so I built a box with the latest and greatest AMD CPU I could
find
($1200 ouch!), put 2GB's of fast RAM in there and a 300GB 7500RPM drive
with a
dual monitor graphics card. Still takes an hour or more.. ARGH!</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

in ArcMAP, was VERY fast and
easy. Lets me choose what methode it uses to calculate the reference
points. Only problem is, you can't export a GeoTIFF in any resolution
other than screen resolution.. And I then have to go back and add the
coordinate system to each chart. Tried writing VB code using
ArcObjects
to export, but still having problems exporting (mainly the extends).</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
