I had the scan done in a printing shop and copied to a CD-R as a JPEG IMG. Have tried to copy it to memory-map from the cd drive but it keeps saying 'no map files found'. Have tried copying it to paint and again saving it as a jpeg img but still no joy.

Iirc the 742 doesn't have any grid lines on it so there is nothing on the map to use as points reference for calibration. There is an IGN 1:1000,000 map that does, but obviously that would mean re-scanning.

Thanks I shall give it a go.....Here is a video with map 742 being used on Memory Map (in Morroco)......it can be done.
Morocco or bust! - Episode 3
I am told you can calibrate a map using 3 refrence points (road junctions etc) even although there are no gridlines by calibrating the 742 with same points on Google earth/maps. My problem is that I can't get as far as uploading the JPEG image of 742 to do so.

On the contrary, your advice is very much appreciated.  And I might yet need to revert to your suggestion of the IGN Map.
I have put a comment on the you tube clip and hope that it's originator gets back to me.

Maximus- sorry can't help on that one.
However a long shot suggestion is to switch to a Garmin gps, use Mapsouce and there is a road and topo map of Morocco which is also free and use Nroute on your PC (or Mapsource) both of which are free as well.
p.m. me if you help with that otherwise MM people are really your quickest and best option
Seems that in that youtube the pc is attached to a Garmin 276C or its later model, the 278C gps
