## Importing Georeferenced Images / Rasters

#### Supported Formats

Touch GIS supports importing the following image formats:

* World File
* Geotiff
* KMZ
* Geospatial PDF

These formats will be tiled and overlaid on their corresponding areas on the map automatically.

## Manually Placing Raster Images

Touch GIS allows you to place non-georeferenced rasters on your map by selecting a series of correlated visual reference points.  Here's how:

1. At the bottom of the Layers panel select 'Import'
2. Choose the file you want to place (typically a TIFF, PNG, or JPEG)
3. After importing, you'll be prompted to select your first reference point. Pan and zoom to select a visual point that you will be able to correlate with a feature on the basemap. Select Next.
4. Next you will select the corresponding reference on your basemap. Pan and zoom to find this spot. 
5. You will need to repeat this process two more times for a total of 3 reference points to place your raster image. 

After all 3 points have been set you can edit their position if necessary from the Layers panel.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.touchgis.app/raster-imagery.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
