Hi Neil,

These topo maps can not be used in the same way with NMAP2 as they are with 
GARP.  It's much easier to use topographic backgrounds, either as grids or gini 
images, with programs such as GPMAP and GDPLOT2, but it's possible with a bit 
of work to use the same maps in NMAP2 - it requires additions to 
$GEMTBL/nmap/mod_res.tbl and $GEMTBL/config/datatype.tbl, as well as a restore 
file added to $NMAP_RESTORE/modl/

I can provide you with a walkthrough for this if you'd like, but it isn't 
exactly the solution you were looking for (being able to select topo background 
from a gui menu).
