1 .5 Tips for including maps
Columbus 3 is supplied with a series of maps of different
countries and continents. Since it is, of course, not possible for
us to anticipate all your needs, you will doubtless also want to
use your own maps or town maps. This means that you must
make a video recording of these maps. The following hints will
help you achieve the best possible results:
• Use a tripod to prevent camera shake
• Use weights (heavy objects) to flatten the corners of the atlas
page and to smooth out creases in the map
• Use a sheet of glass to flatten out the atlas page, but watch
out for reflections caused by the glass
• Ensure that lighting is suitable. Once you have imported the
map to your device, you can edit it before using it. You can
use effects such as
Image Correction, Color Correction and
other image processing effects.
