Create Image Map Overlays

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.

To configure the image map overlay two steps are required:
1) 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 there: | Add a Map Overlay (Google How To German)

2) Configuration of the Image Map Overlay in UBIK Studio

• The MapOverlys are based on a File Documents, so basicly should contain the properties for the classification Document, Filedocument and MapOverlays
