g. Projection: You need to define which kind of map
projection your chart uses. Possible selections are „None“
or „Lambert Conical“. Usually, the projection used is stated
on the respective charts, mostly near the legend.
The next steps will differ slightly, depending on the projection method
used by the respective map:
For maps with projection type „None“:
Start with the calibration process by adding a calibration point. For
a successful calibration you will need at least two calibration points.
They should be located at map edges, as far away from each other as
possible. You need to know the exact geographical coordinates for
these points. We recommend you to use navigation aids like VORs,
NDBs or intersections. Those navigation aids are usually listed in the
national AIP (Aeronautical Information Publication), and often they are
also listed on the map itself.
To define a calibration point, right-click onto the map display where
you want the point to be placed, or select „Add Calibration Point“
from the popup-menu. A red crosshair will help you in correct placement.
By keeping the left mouse key pressed, the whole map may be moved.
Turning your mouse wheel will zoom the map in or out. For this the
cursor changes into a hand symbol. The currently selected calibration
point is displayed in green colour, other calibration points are marked red.
