Introduction

This tutorial will guide you through the process of georeferencing a map. To georeference a map or image you need at least 3 tie points. These points should cover as much of the map as possible. In this tutorial we will use a sea chart from the Oslofjord. This chart has some marked positions referenced in WGS84, UTM Zone 33, as tie points.
