We have created a web page that will allow you to easily (we hope!) create background images for use in FSX Planner. The url is: http://www.zbluesoftware.com/fsxplanner/maps.cfm
This page allows you to specify a lat/lon coordinate to jump to, or allows you to scroll the map in the usual manner to move it around.
We have provided several different resolutions to choose from, allowing you to find the one that best fits your monintor.
The top left lat/lon and bottom right lat/lon coordinates of the image are also displayed. You will need these to enter into FSX Planner. The easiest way to do this is just to copy and paste from the browser int oFSX Planner.
To get the image you'll have to take a screen shot, and the use an image editing program, like photoshop, to crop the image down to just the map image.
Thanks to Google for the maps.
