ABSTRACT:
A method, computer-readable medium and apparatus for georeferencing a raster map. A first map is displayed in one area of a display, wherein the first map is a digital raster map. A second map is displayed in a second area of the display, wherein the second map is a georeferenced map that displays at least a portion of an identical geographic region displayed in the raster map. A user selects a point on the first map, and then selects a point on the second map, wherein the point selected on the second map corresponds to the point selected on the first map. Next, a geographic coordinate associated with the point selected on the second map is assigned to the corresponding point selected on the first map. These operations are repeated, i.e., selecting a point on the first map, selecting a point on the second map and assigning a geographic coordinate at least a second time.
