I didn't know where to post this, if this is inappropriate or belongs in the wrong forum, feel free to delete/move this mods.

It took me over three hours and 150 layers to create this using the topo maps from RIDGE. I have always wanted to do it since RIDGE was introduced, did not have time until today.

(Click to enlarge, but beware, it's 4176 x 1800 pixels and over a MB. It will kill an older computer.)

That is cool, I didn't know you could do that. It could be used as personal outlook maps I suppose. I'll be saving it.

Do you have Photoshop dean?

BTW, if you haven't noticed already, the different color schemes for each site really made things a lot more difficult, I had to pick out all the stations with the same scheme, and as you see in some areas, that couldn't be done.

nope, i dont have it. i dont really want it either. as for the map, it looks fine even without the same color all the way across. it's still amazing!
