Where ever you try have them show a sample first. Some do poor work.

Yes, and I plan to be fairly specific about 300+ppi scans in TIF format also.

The scans are to overlay onto Google Earth, to mark and import to GPS

I don't expect this to be cheap, but these treasure maps are really worth it to me.

I actually found a place.

The guy did a awesome job, the copies are perfect.

The scans overlay kind of strange, but its an odd shaped county that's changed a lot in 90 years.....found 28 new sites already, and only looked at 2 of 16 townships.

It's really cool to be able to click the map on/off on google earth, and mark spots. Found a few old foundations and a load of railbeds
