Can someone clarify something about mapping for me?

Look at the Promods Academy subforum, it has a lot of info. But here's some quick answers.

1) Europe is the 'map pack', so to speak. If you are making an addon map for ETS2, you must select this even if you are mapping Mongolia. Likewise for ATS you'd use America even if you were doing Australia.

2) The easiest way is to just start in the right spot on the map. Just make sure you show your background map so you can place the city and road you're adding where it's supposed to be.

3) If your map is not connected by road to an existing map all you need to do is create a ferry terminal anywhere that makes sense, then add a ferry connection from an existing ferry port on the map you are connecting to to that new terminal. The game will automatically route to and from it. You can also use a train terminal and link up with the Calais or Dover Chunnel stations, it works the same as a ferry.
If you want to do a road connection you need to copy the sector that has the roads of Rusmap or Promods you are linking up with and build your road from there to the new area. You will need to keep this updated if the source map changes.
