4.1.3.8    Marge maps

 

This function allows you to join several maps into one. Land will automatically carry out the equalling of scales and projection for the newly created map. By doing this, you will not need to calibrate it yourself.

 

1.   Open all the maps that you want to merge.

 

2.   Fix the map scale to ‘100%’ in order to obtain the maximum visual quality of the resulting map. If you set a lower scale the resulting map will be less detailed.

 

3.   Press ‘Main menu > Maps > Merge maps’ in order to join the maps.

 

4.   Information about the resulting map will be displayed on the screen before you finally join the maps (size of the map, scale and projection).

 

5.   Assign a name for the newly created map and save it.

 

6.   Once stored, you will be able to start working with the new map.

 

NOTE: It is highly recommended to save the map in *.ECW format, this format allows you to store the map image and the calibration of the map at the same file. If you want to store the map in two separate files (image and calibration) first save the image file (type a name for the map), and then, introduce a name for the calibration file (save the file in *.IMP format using the same name that you used for the bitmap image).
