The selected calibration point will now be added to a table of points,

just below the data entry area. You will see him with his relative position

(in pixels) inside your map. The ﬁelds for the geographical coordinates

are still empty. You may now enter these directly, or indicate the position

to be a navaid. In our case, our calibration point is located at the position

of the TNO (Trano) VOR in Denmark.

In case you don´t know the exact coordinates of your calibration point,

you may use the Flight Simulator navigation database as a reference.

If you enter the code for the navaid in either the latitude or longitude

ﬁeld, FSMap will retrieve the correct coordinates, and use them. Please

note that these coordinates may differ from the exact position on the

chart, as the database may contain errors. In case you´ve selected a

code which exists in the database more than once, a selection dialog

will appear to allow you to select the right navigation aid.

As soon as a second calibration point is added, four more entry ﬁeld

become active. They will deﬁne the borders of your map area. You

don’t need to ﬁll the coordinates manually. Instead, two simple mouse

clicks will do the job. Zoom into the upper left corner, right-click

with your mouse, and select „Set Top/Left Corner“ from the popup

menu. In the same way, select the lower right border by choosing „Set

Bottom/Right Corner“ at the appropriate map position.
