Default Drawing scale and imported picture sizes

David Parker does a lot with maps (http://bvisual.spaces.live.com/), so you
might check over on his site.

I am working on an application that needs to overlay a photo of an street
intersection with a scaled map of that same intersection. The typical map
scale would be 1cm on the page to represent 1m (1:100) on the ground. I
have no idea how to control the relative size of the imported image and
how
to then scale it to match my page scale needs. Ultimately I will need to
be
able to translate between the image coordinate system and my page system,
but I really don't know how to start. Are there any relevant application
examples the group can point me to learn more about scaling images this
way.
