	dotben says: Markadm: I simply loaded SF and London into Google maps, and zoomed them into the same scale - both to the 10k mark on the scale to be exact. As it turned out, because one is Navteq and the other Teleatlas the scales were slightly different so I imported them into Photoshop, worked out the pixel sizes of the 10 scale and resized one of the maps down by that percentage to get an equal 1:1 fit. Then I simply selected the water around San Fran and placed it on top of the map. Posted 18 months ago. ( permalink )
	Just_Tom says: That's pretty handy, in my head SF is smaller than that. I guess that's the wide roads and cheap cabs phenomenon at work. Posted 18 months ago. ( permalink )
	Darren Waters says: Actually that makes me feel SF is much bigger than I thought. Riding the cable car from market to fisherman's wharf - i never realised that was the equivalent of east of the City to Kensignton. Great idea btw. Posted 18 months ago. ( permalink )
