Default Making a map in "close up" view

Can anyone help me with the best way of piecing the Tyrian map together in zoomed mode? So zoomed in on an area, printsceen etc
Is it better to use the [U] map, or the [M] map

Ill be using photoshop for the final stitch, but have been struggling to get it to stitch together properly. Anyone got any handy tips, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks

I really don't want to rain on your parade, but hasn't this been done?

Use "U", the "M" map has a cloud cover that can obscure revealed areas.

When I was stitching my map together (easier to check which bits I was missing), I pasted each SS as a new layer, then set teh opacity to about 50%, when you zoom in you can easily line them up, assuming they overlap at least a little bit. When you've done that, just set the opacity back to 100% and merge the layers.

Though there's probably some funky tool that does it automatically.
