Thanks Gerry,

I've emailed them asking if they have a 'bigger' version available  
elsewhere.

 From reading the docs, i know I should be able to make the 'blue' of  
the sea and the green of the land transparent.

If I was using photoshop or something like that how can I figure out  
the hex value(s) that I need?

Regards
John

P.S. Good luck with the submission!
