Bad TIF application

I followed those great map tutorial videos down to the bone, and started making my own. It's a downtown urban environment with lots of detail like road lane lines and cracks in sidewalks. When I tried to put the TIF to the surface of the map box in 3ds Max, it turns out all blurry and undetailed. Most lines don't even show up. Any help with this would be much appreciated... thanks!

I did... does it have anything to do with scaling or the size or the TIF? Does the TIF have to be the same pixel size as the box?

Change the U and V tiles for the UVW map. Btw, does anyone know if the W tile has any effect on anything? It never seems to change the map if I do anything to it.

i tried the UVW tiling, and the map just got either smaller or larger on the U and V scales without any change in the TIF bluriness. What's up?
