### GeoTIFF

If you upload a GeoTIFF file (already geo-referenced), it will automatically display on the map in the correct position.

### Geo-reference

If you upload a JPG / PNG file, we'll help you georeference it. Follow the instructions to select 2 matching points on the image and map. That's it!
