To do this open the Map Select Screen and then either click the Add Map button in the top left or simply drag an image from your computer into the list of maps.
To do this open the Map Select Screen and then either click the Add Map button in the top right or simply drag an image from your computer into the list of maps.
Once a custom map has been added you must configure the size of the map.
To do this there are the Column and Row properties. Columns represent how many grid cells your map has in the horizontal direction while Rows represents the amount of cells in the vertical direction.
`Tip: Owlbear Rodeo can automatically fill the Column and Row properties for you if you include them in the file name of the uploaded map. E.g. River [10x15] will create a map named River with 10 columns and 15 rows`
Once a custom map has been added Owlbear Rodeo will use its machine learning based grid detection to set up your map for you.
`Note: When uploading a custom map keep the file size in mind. Maps are shared between users in Owlbear Rodeo so if a map is taking too long to load for other party members consider changing the Quality option in the advanced map settings.`
## Custom Maps (Advanced)
## Editing Maps
Once a custom map has been uploaded there are a few advanced settings available.
To get access to these settings, with the desired map selected, click the Show More button under the Rows and Columns in the Map Select Screen.

Once a custom map has been added there are a few settings you can edit if you wish.
To get access to these settings you can click the Edit Map button while a map is selected.
The topmost view of the Edit Map Screen is a grid editor. This allows you to visually set up any inset your map's grid may have.
Next there are the Column and Row properties. Columns represent how many grid cells your map has in the horizontal direction while Rows represents the amount of cells in the vertical direction.
Next you can set the name of your map shown in the Map Select Screen.
`Tip: If Owlbear Rodeo's grid detection feature fails to automatically fill the Column and Row properties for you, you can also include them in the file name of the uploaded map. E.g. River [10x15] will create a map named River with 10 columns and 15 rows`
