Thank you David, I do not have any GIS software but it is something I could
certainly look into!
At the moment I use filemaker to keep all my data but ever increasingly,
people are becoming more involved in data saturation.
It would be helpful to use something as you describe and I do like the
mapping illustrations.
When I record I take GPS coordinates and as much local data as possible. I
want to be able to show physical data as in range maps.
Any more thoughts as to elevating this idea mate?
Thanks for the feedback
Martyn

Do you have any GIS software (ArcGIS, etc.)?
Your problem is easily solved with a little GIS and your data in a database
(or spreadsheet).
I've got the layers for the country and the counties in a GIS already, but
the only way I can get it to you would be in a Adobe Illustrator file
(because it would retain its vector state). I could export it as an image
(raster) file but as Walt pointed out, it would have to be HUGE to make out
the counties.
The best thing to do would be to integrate your data into a GIS, based on
the counties.
Let me know if I can help.
Cheers
David
