5.3.5 Load Sector Layout Map

Level of expertise required for this Chapter: Intermediate; specifically for LUPMIS @ TCPD

Sector layout maps are a standard output of TCPD offices. They are drawn at the scale of 1:2,500 and approved by the District Assembly as the main spatial, legal planning document.

1. Have the sector layout scanned in JPG format (100 dpi)

2. Resize it to a smaller size for easier handling (less burden on the memory). Also, rename it (e.g. Gomoa_Nyanyano_1.jpg)

3. With a graphics program (e.g. Paint Shop Pro):
- 3.1 Resize it again to a size of some 3000-3500 pixels width,
- 3.2 Clean any unnecessary information (dirt, grid lines, xy numbers, scanned dirt, etc)
- 3.3 Cut the marginalia (edge of the map with text),
- 3.4 Save it under a new file name (e.g. Gomoa_Nyanyano_1 cut.jpg).

4. In Map Maker, georectify it: Main menu > Utilities > Bitmap utilities > Calibrate scan > Multiple points (or Two known points). For the process see  Chapter 5.3.3.
