[QUOTE="nedjer, post: 5485572, member: 83796"] Bit of a screen size and formatting problem there. Trying to drag and drop images on to a document is just too cluttered. It's easy enough to get the same outcome with a PC for prep and then display on an iPad. A copy of Inkscape, Illustrator, Aviary's drawing module or CorelDraw lets you drag SVG images from a folder straight on to a page with layers, which can then be saved as an SVG for display in Safari on the an iPad. Add links to the images, which stay live in SVG format and you've a clickable map with token images that can be moved around and reused for map after map. With Inkscape the cost is zero and using SVGs limits file size problems and allows various interactions including linking.
