Introducing JViews Maps > Basic Concepts > Map Preparation > Merging

JViews Maps can merge vector, raster, and elevation data from multiple map file formats and storage locations. You can prepare a map using georeferenced data (that is, systems defining projection, ellipsoid, and/or datum information), and non-georeferenced map assets. For example, you can create a map with a UTM projection, import data from a CADRG map (with an Arc projection), a shape file based on a Lambert projection, and overlay these with a JPEG image. JViews Maps performs a reverse projection on the data sources into a common system such as Longitude/Latitude. The support offered is as follows:
