1. Import instructions

If an image to be imported does not contain the Lat-Long information in the upper-left and lower-right corners, but the image’s position on the map can be retrieved, you can use this method. At least three relation points are required.

2. Procedure

On the main UI of QubiMap on your PC, choose [Custom Maps] > [Custom Map Management].

In the [Custom Map Management] dialog box, click [Add] and select [Add Custom Map] from the drop-down list.

In the dialog box that appears, set the parameters and click [OK]. The added map layer is displayed in the custom map list.

★ Parameters:

① Map ID: a unique ID number assigned to each custom map, ranging from 200 to 999.
