Any image file which is available in proper format can be converted into a
ras format and then displayed on Nesis. It is also possible to scan a pa-
per map and then convert the resulting file into ras format. Please contact
support@kanardia.eu and we will discus options.
In order to display a copy of a paper map on the screen, the following steps
need to be taken:
1. Try to get a map on a roll, which is printed on a non-glossy paper. This
yields best results during scanning.
2. Scan the map on a large format scanner at 250 dpi resolution. Nowadays,
such scanners are available in almost any town. Save the result in a tiff
or png format.
3. This file requires some manual processing – usually one hour work. So,
we will ask for a minor fee.
4. Send the resulting file to us for georeferencing. Use "We transfer" web
service (it is free). Use support@kanardia.eu address. Here is the link
https://wetransfer.com/.
5. We will convert the file into a format, which is understood by Nesis.
This will take a day or two. The file with kus extension will be send
back to you using the same service.

Installing a Raster Map
Raster maps have ras extension. In most cases they are downloaded from our
server. Sometimes they are also obtained via WeTransfer or a similar service.
In order to copy a raster map to Nesis, follow next steps:
1. Download the raster map from our web page. In this case, the map
will have the right extension. Alternatively, you may also receive a map
via some file transfer service. Such file is usually ziped and the map is
hidden inside the zip file. Extract the ras file from the zip file.
2. Copy the ras file to a USB memory stick. Make sure that you use the
safe remove option before removing the USB stick from your PC.
3. Start Nesis, insert the USB stick and switch to the Options page and
select the Map icon.
