I'm north of the border and therefore don't see any maps in TopoFusion, just LandSat photos. In the absence of TopoFusion support for a Canadian map source, I'd like to integrate my own maps. A possible workflow is:
* Photograph map and download to computer
* Manually enter first-approximation location of map
* Drag known waypoints to their locations on map
* Click the magic button to rotate map, set precise location and resize or store scale with map
* Write out calibrated map
* Make map available from map source dropdown box
After this setup process, TopoFusion would handle local files like any other source.
As an interim or minimal solution, positioning, rotation and scaling could be done outside of TopoFusion. The key capability is being able to specify a local map source with location info.
Cheers -- John
