Microsoft Power Point.
I took a screen shot of the Google Earth Image (print screen button on your keyboard). I pasted that into MS Picture Manager so I could convert the image from a bitmap (.bmp) to both .jpg and .png files; so I could decide which I like better.
I pasted that into MS Power Point. Select the image and the "pictures tab" appears on the tool bar. I used "Sharpen" to remove the haziness, and changed "Contrast" to lighten the picture and make some more difference between forests and roads.
Then "Pictures" has a select of digital frames. So I chose a round frame and resized the photo to fit a Autonav circular map image.
The license has run out on my edition on Photoshop but, I haven't really learned much about how to use it on my own.
I have a working copy of Image Ready but, to many tools and I don't get far with it really.
I may take photoshop at my local community college just because I can see the usefulness as an RPG gamer to make really great visual aids.
