RE: [OpenMap Users] Newbie questions

        Ok, sweet, now I feel like I'm finally getting somewhere! Here is
the Projection I am creating:

    public com.bbn.openmap.proj.Projection getMapProjection(){
        int width = 640, height = 480;
        float longitude = 40.47f;
        float latitude = -74f;

        //float longitude = 45.0f;
        //float latitude = -90.0f;
        int scale = 50;
        
System.out.println(ProjectionFactory.getProjType(Mercator.MercatorName));
        Projection proj =
        
ProjectionFactory.makeProjection(ProjectionFactory.getProjType(Mercator.Merc
atorName),
                                             latitude,
                                             longitude,
                                             scale,
                                             width,
                                             height
                                             );
        System.out.println(proj);
        return proj;
    }

        Now, interestingly, no matter what values I put in for the long &
lat or the scale, the map image file which gets generated is rather bland
eg: empty and devoid of any details. Am I maybe missing some kind of data
which openmap needs? I am pretty much using the built-in dist. Where does it
get the topographical data from? Thanks so much for all your help so far
guys, it's been utterly crucial!

        -Ben
