I've found references to lots of commercial software that > will do it, but I've never seen a formula to convert it. What does V&H stand for? I've been around co-ordinate systems for almost 20 years and that one doesn't ring a bell. But to answer the question. Many images have very little usefulness as 'maps' as they have too many distortions. If it is a fairly faithful reproduction of a proper map, then you have a chance. By CO I assume you mean Central Office. Shirley you can simply locate them and use another map to determine a more accurate pair of co-ordinates?
