I have a map of our site (holiday resort) that is currently an single image, embedded in a word doc. Obviously, this is ridiculous, but this kind of thing is the norm here. Could anyone tell me what software they would use (PC or Mac) to either create a map from scratch, or break down the component parts of my image and fiddle with it. Going a little mental. Thanks.

The GIMP is good and free, visio might also do what you want

I'd download a full 3D point cloud survey at great expense to my company then model it using Revit - but that's a bit OTT. Why don't you just embed a link to google or street map perhaps?

That does sound awfully expensive and probably very nice looking There isn't enough resolution where we are, for aerial imagery of any kind to be useful. Sas, I downloaded GIMP and was impressed. However, I'm not skilled enough to do what I'd like to do. Perhaps if I post a link to the map, people would get a better idea?

Perhaps if you do, it might it get done for you.

Kieran, you delightful man you. I'm not sure if it's an easy job, but with your skills, you'll no doubt be able to tell me the way forward. I'll try to put it on my webspace with FireFTP. Stand by....

This is utterly embarrassing, but I didn't create it, so I suppose I can't be held responsible. I do however, cringe whenever I give one to a guest..... http://www.trevenson.co.uk/random2/Sitemap.doc

Brush! Isn't this a word association game?

Jumpers (although that's probably a little obscure for this place, as it's an Entourage reference, but it's what I thought of first)
