Add Scanned Map Command

Before you can use your map in ExpertGPS, it must be added to the Map Library and calibrated.

Adding a New Scanned Map

To add a new map to the Scanned Map Library, do the following:

• On the Map menu, click Open Scanned Map Library.
• The Scanned Map Library will appear. Click the Add button.

The Open Scanned Map dialog will appear.

If your scanned map came with a calibration file, select the calibration type used in the Files of Type list. Otherwise, select Image.

Select the type of scanned map you want to open:

• Image without Calibration File (JPEG, TIFF, PNG, BMP formats)
• Map Calibration File (.map)
• World File (.jgw, .tfw, .pgw, .bpw)
