To finish the map calibration you need to set at least 2 calibration
points, define the projection data (map centre, 2 parallel longitudes)
and identify the map edges. To save your map data, click on the disc
icon in the icon bar, or press CTRL-S to save.
Import Map
FSMap allows to import maps which are already calibrated. Those
maps may origin from other FSMap users, or from users of other „GIS
Software“. The frees you from having to do the calibration by yourself.
Supported file types are FS MovingMap INI-files, JGW-, TFW- or GFW-
files. We would like to take the opportunity to recommend a full set
of US sectional charts for VFR use, which have been precalibrated. You
may obtain them from the AVSIM file library. Check our links section at
the end of this manual for details.
To import a map, click on the corresponding icon in the icon bar, press
CTRL-I, or right-click at the appropriate place in the „My Maps“ tree. A
file selection dialog window will open, allowing you to select the correct
file to import. Please note that a small drop-down menu in the lower
right corner allows you to specify the exact file type you are looking for.
