[QUOTE="Echohawk, post: 9616181, member: 9849"] Almost all of the maps I've uploaded already had a grid, so I just adjusted the Maps grid to match that. On the rare occasions that I've used a map without a grid, I just eyeballed it to get roughly the right scale. I usually have the whole map image open in another window so that I can judge that. Doing any sort of math on the number of pixels will only work for images of a particular resolution—a higher resolution image will have a lot more pixels per square than a lower resolution one. Probably. I've never experienced that particular issue with the fog of war not working, but I have occasionally had situations where my view (the DM's view) somehow lost synch with Maps so I couldn't see that a player was moving a token. Reloading has always fixed this for me. This happened a lot more in the past than it does now, but I moved from a location with shoddy internet access to one with high-speed fibre last year, and that definitely reduced my desynchs.
