Adding/Editing Coastlines

[smithgd]

Hi

I've had a look on the forum and web about outline files and have a question. I know how to add new files and have found some high res coastal files but when I add them they are just overlayed over the original low res coastal outline.

How do I remove the low res outline, I can't find any .out file it my be related too?

Cheers

You don't say which hi-res coastine you have loaded, but assuming it's the UK then your low-res coastlines for the rest of the world need to be minus the UK, otherwise you will experience the effect that you are seeing.

Thanks Rod, obvious really :-)

So now that the coast line is in High res....how do I change the underlying map to match it?

Sorry, smithgd, but the map is fixed in the software - but you can download the NASA satellite images which are a better fit.
