Mscape maker has a built-in map service that allows you to search for any place in the UK, Europe or USA and immediately add a map of that area to your mediascape.

Alternatively, you can use your own image of the area that you have, or can sketch a map of the area. If you are using a GPS unit, you can get the coordinates for your map by using the free HP Map Aligner software (see information on how to make your own map using your own image).

To find out how to make a customised digital map that can be used in your mediascape, go to How to make Maplibs.
