How to create an Image Map

An image for the map with no underlying geographical referencing or Google map.

Use this type when GPS locations are not needed or not available, or for when stylised representations of the map are more useful than exact representations of real work shape.

This walks you through setting up a map using your own image, over which you can add Markers and Labels
