Dave,

Are you sure that all images are off by 0.5 degrees or are the images shifted
by one pixel?  The latter possibility makes more sense to me.

I don't know what you mean by verify the data.  I believe that I
included IMGPROBE in your pared down installation, but I can't remember
for sure.  If I did, then you can move the cursor around an image and
get a readout of the pixel's LAT,LON location.

If each image is off by one pixel in the LINE and ELEMENT direction,
then the best thing to do is modify giniaget.c to account for it.
Before doing this, however, it would be a very good idea to verify that
a pixel displacement is really what is happening.

Do you have examples that demonstrate the offset?
