This will create a testing.png file in /data/basemaps.

Making scale bigger will zoom in, smaller will zoom out.

A mapdata.conf file will also be created in /data/basemaps.  This is crutial for 
GD::Map to function.  The create_basemap function modifies this file.

NOTE!!!.  Once the basemap file has been created, you need to scale it down 25%.
You can do this in whatever editor you want, but the initial drawing is a little 
crunchy, so I usually use gimp or something to smooth things out.  This seemed
better than trying to incorporate Image::Magick in here, which sometimes gets cranky.
Plus, basemaps do not get created very often so it is not much work.  Maybe in the
future I will add an option to do this for you if you have Image::Magick installed.

=head2 CREATING MAPS

 my $m = GD::Map::new(
 	basemap_path => "/data/basemaps",
	output_path => "/data/maps",
	);

To create maps, after getting your map object, you need to define object types.
They can be thought of as groups of similar objects and the order in which they
