Hi, I'm trying to stitch several map tiles together into a big image and then warp it. However I'm getting error like this from gdalbuildvrt...<br><br>Warning 6: gdalbuildvrt does not support positive NS resolution. Skipping map1.tiff<br>
<br>Searches for this error suggest its got something to do with north not being up. But its not clear what this means. (My maps are in the northern hemisphere).<br><br>I wondered if I am georeferencing the maps incorrectly. Am I right is saying that top-left is (0,0) and the y-axis points downward for pixel coordinates within the map? (I cant find anywhere where this is documented.) I also tried y-axis pointing upward (giving -ve y-values) as this is what quantumGIS seems to use.<br>
