Hi Everyone :)

In this week's Live Mapping Session Ralf will be using Medio's great new Erdan Worlds style to make an overland map.

Come along and join in the fun - learn how to use this new issue of the 2021 Cartographer's Annual, or just get to see a bit of what you will have if you buy the annual.

Fantastic job, Medio.

I'm really looking forward to finding a bit of time to use it :)

I tend to use the Edit menu for text edits, but you can use the numeric edit button too (second image).

You can get your toolbars back by going to the View menu and picking Toolbars... which is right at the bottom of the dropdown menu. That will bring this dialog up. You can see which of the options I have checked. My setup is only different to the default one because I have done away with the Color bar. You can get to the palette by clicking the little colour swatch in the top row, and I was keen on keeping as much of the screen for the map as I could. Each time you click one of the checkboxes the position arrow changes, so make sure you have them all with the correct arrow, or your toolbars will end up in odd places. That's a bit confusing for a new mapper.

Sorry! I give you a thumbs up for thanking Remy, but when I reconsidered I realised it might have looked like I was agreeing that your work was rubbish. It's NOT rubbish. So I took back my thumbs up.

You know what - I didn't see it as a single image at all, but two copies of the same thing. I think I must be tired.
