I was thinking more about batch import of maps, rather than control points.<br>
<br>
I've had a chance to play around with it a bit and was getting some of
the distortion you mentioned, which is likely unavoidable. I'm going to
test the same map in ArcGIS and in MapWarper – I have a feeling I will
get a similar amount of distortion in each. Some of it may come down to
adding points to adjust the map by eye.</div></div></div></div></div>
