here is the image I used..

Any Ideas on what I screwed up? :mad: Maybe I used the wrong lat and long format? I have a TomTom XL 325s
 
Is the image shown the area you want captured? If so, you would see that image when in 2D view for that area, you scroll out on the map.......
 
Yes that is the image.... It is a smaller pic on the forum...Photobucket re-sized it.I just tried 2D...No luck. I tried all zoom levels..
 
Be 100% certain that your filenames for the .jpg and .sat are identical. CASE COUNTS - this is a Linux based system that gets fussy about that stuff.

Check the properties of your .txt file by right clicking and selecting properties. By any chance did the file wind up being named something.txt.txt instead of something.txt?

Last, change the number for max zoom from 30 to something much larger like 3000.

Do any of those make a difference?
