Get a local shop to print a fresh one for you.

I'm a little confused! Charts are printed locally?

Sure, any print shop should be able to handle the sectional images.
http://weborder.kinkos.com/start.cgi

I went to that link and could not find any offer to print sectional images.

Maybe you could be more specific? Where, exactly, is one supposed to get
the images for Kinkos (or any other print shop) to print? And don't say
"from a sectional chart", because the folds will come out on the
reproduction as well.

It says that they handle standard formats. I'd expect you to realize that
TIFF is fairly standard.

It's difficult for me to believe that you've never seen the FAA sectional
images nor were you able to find them, but...

Wow...it only took three tries to get *actual* useful information out of
you. A Usenet record!

My point, since you still don't seem to get it, is that replies like "get a
local shop to print a fresh one for you", and posting a link to Kinko's web
site are not useful at all to anyone who actually is requesting the
information being requested.

If the question had been "I've got a TIFF file of a sectional, and I want it
printed on a big piece of paper", then what you wrote would have been
perfectly appropriate. But that's not the question that was asked.

If you really are serious about helping, try being a little more helpful
next time.

Thanks for the link! I never knew you could get these files off the
web!

Has anyone ever tried to trim the borders and cut and past all of these
together into one gigantic map? I have access to a 44" wide inkjet
printer, I wonder how it would look with the lower 48 states printed out
44" tall by however long that would be. If someone does a good job
putting all the maps together I might be persuaded to make that ONE
person ONE printout too.

A better proposition would be to get a high-density digital version and
print it at the "size to page" setting.

They won't fit together at the borders perfectly, as each is an
independent Lambert conformation, which distorts them to provide the
best two-dimensional map.

At Oshkosh a couple years ago, I asked one of the moving map guys how they
handled the edge of map problem. He said they digitally reverse the Lambert
projection to create a virtual ellipsoidal image (or maybe spherical is good
enough -- I'm not certain if he was that specific) then create a Lambert
projection suitable to the new location.

Fitting them together isn't a problem. (O.k., it *is* a problem, but it's
one that's solved in a straightforward way.) They're georeferenced.

The problem is that things are in different places on different sectionals
so they don't line up well.

Okay, I don't want to be the cause of any bad mojo on this group, but
I appreciate the links. I actually did not know that high res .tiff
files were available for the charts.

It's too bad they're not available in some vector format, because
making a seriously huge printout would be rad!

thanks,
