                             Maps and Legends


             1  INTRODUCTION

             Whether your interest in maps is professional or
       casual, you'll enjoy designing a wide variety of world maps
       on your personal computer with the Maps and Legends program.
       The program disk contains approximately 9000 sets of
       geographic coordinates which outline the main land masses
       and islands on Earth. You can design high resolution maps on
       your video screen and print them on a graphics printer. You
       can use these maps for games and simulations, for tracking
       satellites, for pointing amateur radio antennae, for
       overlays for satellite weather maps and for teaching
       geography and cartography. Point to a location on the screen
       and the latitude and longitude or distance and bearing are
       displayed on the screen. You can draw the earth as you would
       see it from any distance above your home town. The program
       displays dialog boxes that prompt you for the input data for
       each map.

              It takes only a couple of minutes to generate a high
       resolution perspective projection map. It takes much less
       time to draw a simple cylindrical projection. After the
       computer generates a map, you can color it, draw on it, and
       fill it with a variety of patterns. You can also add text
       and legends. You can save your maps on data disks and
       retrieve them later in a few seconds.

              ----------------------------------------------

              The programs are written in the C computer language
       and the source code is available from the authors for
       programmers who wish to adapt them for special applications.
       For example, you might want to generate map projections that
       are not included in the Maps and Legends program. You might
       also modify a program to call it as a subroutine to overlay
       satellite ground tracks or fields of view.
