Does anybody know if it possible to get an birdseye image of the whole map in a scenario? I know you get a screen dump but it is difficult to (i) get a whole map in the screen and exclude all other game information or (ii) take a number of screen dumps and stitch them together.

Cheers

Press M and zoom out?

Yep tried that but not easy to get a clear view of the whole map at a scale that's usable and isn't cluttered by, for example, the bottom bar.

use M, but take multiple screenshots. Break the map up into 4 areas when you take screenshots.

use Powerpoint or even Ms Paint to put them together so you have 1 large high res image that covers the whole map.

I use the red flowers as markers.

When I convert a map, I first use a bright colour terrain to mark every 10 sq. You could then place a tile or flowers at the 1/4 point, take your 1/4 shots, and use your paint program to erase the marks.
