Image map overlays will be visualized as base maps in the map activity of the client. These are images (.png) that will be vizualized on the right location, with the right scale and also with the right rotation. Therefore georeferencing of the image is required.
Basics
Configuration of the image map overlay requires two steps:
- Georeferencing of the image
- This is necessary to generate the required parameters.
- Prefered Software: Google Earth
- How to add a map overlay to Google Earth is available under Add a Map Overlay (Google How To German)
- Configuration of the Image Map Overlay in UBIK Studio
- The Map Overlays objects are based on file documents, hence must implement properties of the classifications Document, Filedocument and MapOverlays

GIS Software
There are a lot of possibilities to georeference a map overlay. For image map overlays | Google Earth is the fastest way to extract the required parameters. This How To is a small introduction for adding a Map Overlay to Google Earth and capturing the parameters for UBIK Studio.
- Prepare an image map overlay
- The map overlay should be a .png Image of the building scheme.
- Add the map overlay to the basemap
- Tutorial of Google Earth: | Add a Map Overlay (Google How To German)
- Extract the required parameters:
- WIDTH_METERS: The width of the image in meters. Please use the measurement tool of Google Earth: | Measuring distances and areas
- ROTATION_CLOCKWISE_DEGREES: The rotation can be extracted by using the editing tool of Google Earth for image map overlays.
- LOCATION_CENTER: To extract this parameter it is required to use the Placemark tool of Google Earth and locate the placemark in the center of the image. How to use a placemark tool: | Creating a new placemark
- The location can be extracted by using the editing mode of the placemark.
- The location can be extracted by using the editing mode of the placemark.
- WIDTH_METERS: The width of the image in meters. Please use the measurement tool of Google Earth: | Measuring distances and areas
 | Please use the Google Earth Show Lat/Long setting with Decimal Degrees [HowTo: Viewing preferences] |
