Setting a background image to a new map
The map uses a bitmap (picture) image as the
main background, you may create, scan or draw your picture, anyway you choose but it must
be saved in a standard Microsoft windows bitmap format (*.BMP).
First
right click the map to display the edit menu.

Here we have selected an arial photo, scanned at
a very low resolution.
Once you are happy with your map save it
by right clicking the map to display the menu and select 'Save'. You will be
prompted to specify a name for the map.
