Okay, LA is about 3,000 miles from NYC. On a map where 1' = 500 miles, LA will be 6 inches away from NYC. On a map where 1' = 100 miles, LA will be 30 inches away from NYC. It doesn't matter how large or small the map, the cities will always be the same distance apart in proportion to the rest of the U.S. The same thing happens with UV Mapping. It records the relative positions of the points. The larger the map, the more spread out the points are, but they are always the same proportional distance apart. This means that you can resize the physical map, but the texture will still be applied properly. (Of course, the smaller the map, the less detail you can apply.) Hope this helps, Cres
