I am presented with this 'dstile' ??? How big an image can it handle and can it do tiles of a bit map so that they all line up. Do you have some experience with this aspect of WW ? I suppose I should really say that the full size of the map is so big I would have no chance at all of holding it in one image. Its multi gig size. So I guess I really need a tiled solution.
