MapTools & Profantasy Tutorial
If nobody is familiar with MapTools, it's a free virtual game table that allows users to host games from remote locations with all the benefits of a tabletop game.
I should make a note that in the video I export the image as a PNG, but I did take it into a photographic editor and changed it to a compressed JPG image before loading it into MapTools. This reduced the 5 MB file down to 800K and speeds up the automatic downloading for my players.

I'm trying to load an overland map into it with each grid cell being 10 square miles.
I followed your tutorial to create the small square on the grid in CC3, and then attempt to match up with that in MapTools with its' Grid.
Somehow I the grid is just obnoxious, the squares are the correct size for distance, but the multitude of them is irritating to the eyes, and it obstructs the text and symbols I have on the map.
Any advice?
Just my opinion of course...
The second screenshot at Session Recap shows an example of overland party movement without having the overlay turned on. You can enable and disable the MapTool-based grid by pressing Ctrl-G.
