    Default Custom Maps in GMDL - HOW?

    Hello,

    Could somebody give me an advice, how can I prepare my own .png maps (not calibrated, scanned- just a picture) in the GMDL for mapThis?

    I think I can't solve the problem because I don't know how to calibrate the maps...

    There are three opinions in the form "Custom Map":

    1) Load Any PNG with Map Parameters
    - It is impossible to load a picture, because I don't know the top/bottom coordinates

    2) Load any PNG
    - this is OK, but if I make an export, I think it isn't a calibrated map, because there are no excact coordinates to add.

    3) Load Compliant PNG
    - I think this should be the right choice, but how? - If I load a PNG, how should I "compare" it? - In the table right ("Select Comparison Source"), I can select map sources, but nothing happens (?) - The same if I check/uncheck the choice "Select Comparison"...

    Do I need some other software for the calibration before I load a .png to the GMDL?
    Or CAN I SIMPLY MAKE A CALIBRATED MAP WITHOUT GMDL PROGRAM, but for MapThis?

    I tried to find some guides for Custom Maps in this forum, but I think very few people have experience with it or it is a banal thing...

    I would appreciate any help, because I am really desperated ...

    You can get Microsoft MapCruncher to "calibrate" your map on top of Virtual Earth.

    It will export some files to a folder (which you can use your broswer to look at your map).

    You can use GMDL with this folder as a source (choose MapCruncher) and it should create a map flawlessly

    Good luck
