Hints for Placing Points

Place control points in locations where it is easy to distinguish the same location on

both the image and the map. For example, you might find it helpful to place control
points at survey points, street intersections, or other point features.
It is also important to remember that the more corresponding control points you

place on your image and map, the better. A large number of control points should
only increase the accuracy of your resulting map.
Note Collinear points should be avoided. A small number of points in a line will not
produce a good solution. See example below.
