      A professor at my institution wants to create an historical GIS
showing the development of the transportation network in our region over
time. The obvious way to do this is to digitize the road networks shown
on
old maps using a digitizing table, but I am wondering if it might be
possible to accomplish this task using a program like R2V.  Has anyone
used
a raster to vector conversion program for a project like this and
obtained
satisfactory results?
