Hi Kwan,

One thing that will likely have to be played with is the RESolution
of the remapped image.  Try adjusting the resolution using the RES=
keyword.  For instance, I just tried:

IMGREMAP TEST/TOPO MYDATA/IMAGES.3050 SSIZE=ALL PRO=PS X 97 SIZE=ALL RES=6

re:

Comparison of landmarks (e.g., Great Salt Lake in UT) locations between
the original and remapped image (using the IMGREMAP above) seemed pretty good.

Cheers,

Tom
