A forest map related to the stand register data can be imported ("Link to existing area..." or "Import forest map..." > "Import from shape") only if the format is "Shape". Digital maps in other formats should be converted before import. Linking is done by using the .dbf-file of the map and the three first fields of the register's .csv-file (MapId, StandId, and SubStandId, respectively).
Background images (in raster format, as opposed to the vector format above) can be imported and viewed with the forest map. Preferrably, the image should be in .tiff-file format (but other graphical formats are possible, e.g. .bmp). NB: Only one layer per type (Road-, Terrain-, and Ortomap) is possible to import to the forest database, any new image-import will overwrite the old, already imported images! This is of course unfortunate and will be fixed in future releases. A roadmap, more or less covering the entire company's sphere of activities, might be imported once and for all while the ortophotos probably would be added continuously as new areas are to be analysed.
