Image size recommendation:
Supported image format: up to 32000×32000 px (ARGB bitmap, x64 only).
Size formula (uncompressed ARGB bitmap): Height × Width × 4 = Size in bytes.
Actual file size depends on compression. For example, a full-size PNG with uniform color (e.g., white) will be significantly smaller.

Territory size recommendation:
Map calibration uses only three reference points.
Coordinate accuracy decreases with larger territories and projections.
Use maps covering areas no larger than a medium-sized city.
Do not use maps of entire countries — six-point calibration would be required (not supported).

Creating an Offline Map

Launch MapEdit.
Click Open Image and select an image (*.bmp, *.jpg, *.png, *.gif, *.tiff).

Click the Pin icon to add geographic coordinates.

Use DMS (Degrees, Minutes, Seconds) format.

For best accuracy, use coordinates taken directly from subscriber radios in the field. Although coordinates may be taken from open map sources, the most accurate result is achieved by visiting the actual locations with a subscriber unit and recording its GPS position, then using those values as the three reference points.
When prompted, save the map file.
Click Start to generate the offline map.

Adding an Offline Map to the Dispatch Console

Offline maps must be manually added to each Dispatch Console.

Open the Dispatch Console.
Navigate to Map → Open New Map in Tab.

Select TMap from the drop-down list.

Click Add.

Choose added map and press OK.

The map will now be available in the Dispatch Console.
