I believe I have mentioned this before, but here is a tutorial for using hugin (a free panorama stitcher) to autostitch flat scanned images. Beats manually doing it in photoshop or gimp.

Thanks, RobA! I believe I got a free panorama stitcher with my last upgrade of Xara Xtreme, I haven't really checked it out - that could certainly make my scanning life easier.
Yeah, I don't have scanning services offered on my gamer-printshop site, but in my daytime business, I charge $3 for full color 12 x 18 scans, thus an 18 x 24 map is $6, and a 24" x 36" is $12 and so on. But physically shipping a map paid both ways add up to cost.

Hurray, my Canon IPF 8100 large format printer finally showed up - its sitting in a 500 lbs, 8 foot long box right now. They'll install it tomorrow.
When its all set up and I get my first map printed on it, I'll take digital camera pics for you all to check it out!
New Toys! Woot.
Oh, it looks I'm starting a trend with "toys at work!", even Arcana's getting into it!

Great news GM!
Good luck with the installation and hopefully there are lost of maps ordered for print.

Hurray, my printer is all setup now. I thought it was 8 cartridges, no its a 12 cart machine - Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, Photo Cyan, Photo Magenta, Photo Black, Gray, Photo Gray, Red, Blue and Green.
Here's a photo of the unit, pardon the mess and dirty floor.
Behind the printer is my old printer, haven't moved it into the backroom yet.
And that's my Winterscape map, exiting out into the output tray - from my Mountaintops Thread under General Mapping WIPS forum.
